Scott Bloch, the head of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, who had a computer consultant wipe his hard drive, and whose office was raided by the FBI with accusations of abuse of authority, retaliation, political bias, and obstruction of justice, now has a new title Sock Puppet^* by Proxy. It appears that he ordered subordinates to post stuff supporting him on blogs when they posted bad news about him.

This is so incredibly pathetic.

^*Full disclosure, I’ve sock puppeted. I acknowledge that this means that I have no personal credibility. Confirm what I write by going to the links I cite, and reviewing my arguments. Seriously. FWIW, I’ll try not to sock puppet in my own comments section. I haven’t yet.

Seriously, if I say the sky is blue, go check the Weather Channel to confirm this.
