Feingold's Fake

Feingold's Friends

Boned Jello

Aside from "fake voters"  being appropriate fodder, in the context of  Democrats and elections,  it ought serve as a warning that nothing today escapes scrutiny.  This is from the WTMJ Radio (Milwaukee)  website, titled  FEINGOLD'S FAKE PERSON?

In Senator Feingold’s new ad, he features some footage designed to make the argument that his $787 stimulus bill created Wisconsin jobs.

One piece of footage features a nameplate being placed outside an office or cubicle, and it appears the person named does not exist – not in voter databases, nothing on Lexus-Nexus, no such person on Facebook or other social media.  In fact, the only Elizabeth Ackland that could be found in Wisconsin died in 1877.

It would be strange, if Feingold’s argument is true and Wisconsinites really did benefit from his stimulus bill, that he would need to make up a person, or use a long-departed person, to represent a job created in his campaign ad.

A fake person could avoid lawsuits, sure he should be able to find someone who is proud enough and wants their name on TV but finding a fake person is probably nothing more than file footage.
