Is this the same sock puppet who has had ethical issues in the past?
Eddie Barrera (93f037) — 5/21/2006 @ 1:16 amPersonally, I liked the partial apology on the truthout site:
They “g(ot) too far out in front of the news-cycle?” 🙂 Yeah, I guess in typical liberal thought, if Mr. Rove is indicted for something, anything, by anyone next September, it will be verification of the truthout story.
Dana (dd8e7e) — 5/21/2006 @ 6:52 amWell.
I’d just as soon we avoid classifying Leopold as a “journalist” since the bar for admittance to that fraternity is already too damn low.
Dwilkers (a1687a) — 5/21/2006 @ 7:48 amUnfortunately or fortunately, there’s no professional entrance test to be a journalist.

Sock puppetry is the least of Leopold’s offenses; in comparison, Michael Hiltzik is a model of rectitude.

Follow Patterico’s links, and credit the Kossacks for being willing to out one of their own. The citations aren’t exhaustive, either: here’s a thread from the Washington Monthly back in February in which “harry shep” makes a cameo. […]

Take a look at this Blog edition below and see if you can figure out who the “Temporary Sockpuppet” is on the Democrat Underground who is making a shocking confession (hint: the identity is not hard to figure out).

PJ-Comix (fb68c6) — 5/21/2006 @ 10:37 am[…] I don’t know Seixon, but I have an impression of him as a solid and honest guy. By contrast, Leopold has faced accusations of sock-puppetry, and Joe Lauria has described Leopold as a troubled young reporter with a history of drug addiction whose aggressive disregard for the rules ended up embroiling me in a bizarre escapade and raised serious questions about journalistic ethics.
