Rob Portman's Wikipage Watch:

[Justice wanted]

Just checked his page out and 2 things I found very interesing:

1) A lock pad symbol on the page and when I place my cursor over the lock it said "This page is Semi protected (I said locked I meant protected).

2) When I went down to the bottom of the page this is what is written:

Anyone else want to keep an eye on this page? Anyone other pages we should do a watch on?

1. Watch Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan.

I think it will be one of these three.

The more desperate, the more it will go from Portman (boring, pretty safe) to Rubio (more exciting, not a white male!) to Ryan (batshit).

The more the tax evasion grows, the more desperate he will get.

2. Romney/Portman: Team RetroActive, power up!

3. Here's a link to the page's Edit History. It's been a busy few days!

Check it out:

5. Doesn't it worry people how much re-writing a wiki page gets or is that par for course?

7. That's why they get locked.

I wish I spent more time there so I could identify if red letters mean a disruptive edit, or whatever other codes are identifiable, but for certain there is mischief afoot!

4. On June 19, 2007, Portman resigned his position of OMB director, citing a desire to spend more time

I just want to state that as a federal employee, this man as VP raises the hair on my neck. While at OMB, he oversaw what I viewed (from the inside) as damaging policies towards my agency, rewarding private contractors at the expense of taxpayers (and the safety of employees) under a law that allowed Competitive Sourcing - basically outsourcing work traditionally done by civil servants to private companies. Here is one outcome:

6. Thanks for the insight. It's amazing that so many of these creeps are out there.

8. The article has been suffering some vandalism. That's why it's protected. n/t

9. Bachmann's page has a huge number of edits.

Of course, all it is is this:

Bachmann is batshit crazy!

Is not!

Is too!

Is not!

Is too!

Etc. ad nauseum.

10. If he takes her He will have the Tea Party Base that he can't get on his own.

BUT may the Gods save the U.S.A. if that ticket wins the election.

11. There was a HUGE spike in edits of her page during the John Wayne/ John Wayne Gacy kerfuffle

I had a lot of fun sorting it out and seeing how her groupies were operating. Hell, they even started editing John Wayne's page to fit Bauchmann interpretation of history.

12. Remember the Palin/Paul Revere thing?

The Palin Bots were editing the Paul Revere Wiki page putting in "ringing bells, shooting guns, and warning the British.

I kid you not. The Wiki administrators had to restrict edits on the page to call a halt to the madness.

But after all, if Arctic Barby says it, it has to be true!!!

Astounding ignorance!

[Brother Buzz]

13. I do remember that one, too

14. Talking to hubby this morning about the What he missed being at worked --Portman's page updated

15. My theory? Rob Portman's staff created this rumor after editing their page a 100x.

Romney needs to pick someone more unlikable than himself to avoid getting out shown.
