I know what I see, and I know what Philadelphia lawyering looks like.

Heyyyy…. that’s right. I’ve used that wifi many times. I didn’t even think about that – anyone could have posted that Wiki entry.

In fact, I think I’ll post one myself next time I’m there, and look at the IP. I just have to post anonymously, since I was banned from WP some time ago.

Brian Laurens got all the other girls to stop talking to you during recess?

George Anderson is a joke. Let’s blame it all on him just for the fun of it.

Is that anything like double secret probation?

Actually DoubleDawg, let me add a caveat. In this case Handel seems to be playing in the mud with Erick and no one else.

Buzz,

I’m not a cop, but I’ve watched enough cop shows on TV to know the direction the evidence points is normally where the quilt lies.

A-HAHAHAHHAHAHHA!

That’s funny!

My favorite show was Columbo because the obvious “normally where the quilt lies” was almost ALWAYS wrong. ‘Nuff said.

Okay, so Erick himself referred to “RomneyGingrich2012″ here:

The affidavit still doesn’t mean anything, but Laurens does have a plausible explanation for its current form.

Well we can say that Martians did it but I think Erick has shown it’s pretty clear someone favorable to Oxendine’s campaign altered the Wikipedia pages. State employees are unlikely to do it as they are well schooled in the risks and unlikely to put their job on the line just because Ox might win. Therefore it’s reasonable to assume it was a person within the Oxendine campaign.

You act as if to look at the evidence Erick has laid out and follow the facts to where they lead is lunacy. I’m not a cop, but I’ve watched enough cop shows on TV to know the direction the evidence points is normally where the quilt lies.

I want to like Ox. I think he’s done a darn fine job as Insurance Commissioner. He could do that as Governor, but frankly I’ve been troubled by the news about him lately.

The donation problem, the appointment of that same big donor, and now the likely use of State computers for campaign purposes give me great pause about his candidacy. If his campaign doesn’t cut this kind of crap out he’ll get destroyed by whatever Democrat he faces should he be the nominee.

The only thing that bothers me is the question-begging wording of the affidavit. Do you really go to the trouble of crafting an affidavit that narrowly and then get the wiki user name wrong accidentally? Thomas Wheatley made the same mistake at Fresh Loaf, so I know it’s possible, but drafting a legal document is not at all like whipping up a blog post as quickly as possible. It’s just danged peculiar from my POV.

That’s why I said “seems to be the case.” I still don’t think he did anything, but I’m not saying that anyone didn’t do it unless they were with me at the time it was changed. I know it wasn’t me.

By: Dash Riptide

Dash Riptide — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:37:24 +0000

But still, the affidavit as written is meaningless since its language is not broadly worded but is instead specific to a non-existent moniker. If they’re going to beat the Handelistas over the head with it, it should at least say what it needs to say.

A WSB reporter made me aware today that Brian Laurens, who I speculated could be RomneyGingrich12, has not only denied it, but issued a sworn affidavit to that effect. Actually, having seen that affidavit now, it seems that he only swore not to have done anything as "RomneyGingrich2012." You don't think that maybe... Nah. Forget I said anything.

Jason,

I think because it is secret evidence, the kind that you just display as a stack of papers and make reference to.
