Mudville Gazette

A MILBLOG

The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Blackfive Unmasked!

Greyhawk

Easongate "news" from the Amercan Prospect:

...Jordan... was brought down not by outraged citizen-bloggers but by a mix of GOP operatives and military conservatives.
<...>

Certainly there were some citizen-bloggers involved in the anti-Jordan effort. Easongate founder Bill Roggio, 35, is a computer-software analyst in Medford, New Jersey. His blog, The Fourth Rail, demanded that CNN release the video- or audiotape of Jordan?s comments in Davos. Roggio started Easongate.com on Saturday, February 5, with a couple of right-wing and military blogosphere buddies, Michigan-based Brian Scott (of The Blue State Conservatives) and Josh Manchester (of TheAdventuresofChester.com). Like Roggio, Manchester served in the military, leaving active duty as a U.S. Marine only recently. Scott, a Republican and member of Right to Life of Michigan, started his blog to further his dreams of becoming a conservative talk-radio personality.

As Easongate got cooking, the trio quickly reached out to ?BlackFive,? a former paratrooper and prominent military blogger in Chicago who declined, in an e-mail interview, to reveal his surname (his first name is Matt).

The time has come for me to stab Blackfive in the back and reveal his true identity - his real name is Matt (drumroll build to crescendo) KarlRove!!!!

Bwa hahahahahahaaaaaaa....

Read Matt's response to TAP here.

By the way, is that the first time "prominent" has been used in reference to a military blogger? Time for new mess dress Matt! You know henceforth that is the only way I can refer to you -"prominent military blogger Blackfive".
