‘Who Is Ellie Light?’

Posted on | January 25, 2010 | 13 Comments

That’s the John Galt-like question Michelle Malkin ponders this morning:

It’s a handy rhetorical rejoinder the next the White House or your nutroots neighbors and co-workers try to tar the Tea Party or any other grass-roots revolts against President Obama as phony, top-down operations.
When Obama’s Soros-funded, Big Labor-directed, K Street-organized goons engage in classic projection and you need a glib way to call out the pot calling the kettle black, just snap back:
Who is Ellie Light?

Malkin reminds us of a column she wrote in August:

This week, Bloomberg News reported that White House senior adviser and chief campaign strategist David Axelrod’s former public relations firm, AKPD Message and Media, has raked in some $24 million in ad contracts supporting Obamacare – along with another p.r. firm, GMMB, run by other Obama strategists. . . .
Astroturf master Axelrod was president and sole shareholder of AKPD from 1985 until last December, when he resigned to take his White House position. His son, Michael, works there. So does former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe.

Plouffe is now officially joining the White House team to direct their political operation in the 2010 mid-terms and — what a coincidence! — Malkin points out that the Obamanoid machine is now hiring 32 paid professionals to direct canvassing offices for the mid-term campaign. (“32 jobs saved and created”!) It’s an extremely informative and timely post, so read the whole thing.

As for the identity of “Ellie Light,” I already told you: She’s a nasty slut — and I dare her to sue me for saying so.

    12$ an hour to run a team of 15-50 peeps! Come on! Certainly we can borrow more than that from the Chicoms! Or are the new bank taxes going to cover it?

    CA, CO, DC, IL, MA, MN, NY, OH, OR, PA, TX, WA.

    Interesting selection of states, eh? AR, DE,& IN comes to my sleepless mind. Guess someone screwed up. Again.

    This propaganda stuff physically sickens me.

    Who is “Ellie Light”? Well, the most famous “Ellie” I know was Ellie Mae Clampett, not exactly the brightest bulb on the string.
    So, I guess Ellie “Light”, would be someone of less stellar capabilities…in other words, the perfect Democrat!
