Wonkette
We have EMAIL PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE that Rep. Jim McDermott’s executive assistant/office manager/scheduler/pet dragon Elizabeth “Liz” Becton, the Meanest Lady in DC, was not simply having a “bad day” when she went nuts on someone, over e-mail, who mistakenly saluted her as “Liz.” Below are two more of Liz Becton’s run-ins with e-mail, in which she type-screams at entire listservs about GETTING THE LUNCH LADY’S NAME RIGHT, and swears to destroy a Mole scheduler who once leaked stuff to your Wonkette.
First: Us. Hooray!
Last May, your Wonkette posted some wacky e-mails that were sent on the House Democratic schedulers’ listserv from a couple of staffers (names redacted!) asking comical questions along the lines of, “Does anyone know what type of store one would buy ‘groceries’ at?” After the post went up, a retaliatory e-mail went out to the same listserv from some new irate scheduler, swearing violence.
‘TWAS SHE.

Subject: RE: We Have a Mole Amongst UsWhat kind of nasty, petty, poorly written (Did these people graduate from middle school to high school?) site is www.wonkette.com? And what a base, narcissistic, illiterate group of readers they have! I will never venture to that site again. It was a total waste of my time. However, this email is for the mole among us. You are a poor excuse for a human being. You are not a team player. If I ever find out who you are, I will gladly advertise that it was you who forwarded the emails to the low-rent wonkette site. I will further inform the Speaker’s Office, Standards on Official Conduct, and all the other appropriate offices of what you did. And if you got paid for it, my lowly, putrid, little wonkette reader, you have committed a crime and you will be punished for it when you are found. I have contacted Telecom and I have informed them of what has happened and since it’s a quiet day, they are checking all the forwarded emails from this list serve.
And to my team players and fellow schedulers, I apologize that I had to include you on this email. This email was intended for the lowly loser among us.
Have a nice day!

Most of Liz’s comments about Wonkette are correct. But it does become somewhat easier to read once you realize we’re writing in Farsi.
It’s perfectly understandable that she’d be furious when e-mails from her listserv were leaking to illiterate liar weblogs, but who writes like this on a professional Capitol Hill listserv? Who talks to colleagues as though it’s a war game? Liz Becton does, because she’s the meanest lady in DC.

Subject: Boycott Longworth on TuesdayTUESDAY LONGWORTH CAFETERIA BOYCOTT
Many of you likely know D___ B___, who has been a cashier in the Longworth Cafeteria for decades. Wednesday morning D____ was suspended without pay (or fired by some accounts) for being $9 short at her register. This has outraged many of us who have seen her virtually every day for years. She is certainly one of the most beloved cafeteria workers and her dedication to customer service is exceptional. On Tuesday, we hope to join in a show of support for D___ by boycotting the cafeterias. Since all the cafeterias are owned by the Restaurant Associates we ask that you avoid all of them that day, but we realize that’s difficult during a day we’re in session. Please, if nothing else avoid Longworth.

Importance: HighThe woman who was SUSPENDED (not fired) was D____ C____. I have communication between my COS and the COS of the CAO’s office confirming those two facts.
Although the email was sent with good intentions, the facts are wrong. I’m all for supporting someone who was wronged, please know that D___ C____, the woman who was SUSPENDED not fired, will be represented by her union regarding this matter.
Again, the lady’s name is D____ C____ and she was NOT YET FIRED. She was SUSPENDED.

My boss and I are friends with the woman who was erroneously named in the original boycott email. She would be VERY upset if she knew her name was being sent out as the woman who was suspended.
I’ve received a snotty email from one particular scheduler who doesn’t understand the ramifications of having their name sullied by erroneous information. She wondered about my point…

See, that fight just could’ve been avoided. Was fighting really necessary over this instance of name confusion?
It was for Liz Becton, who is required to go out of her way to start fights, since that is what the title of Meanest Lady in DC demands, regularly.
And don’t get us wrong, we mean this in the most complimentary of ways! If we had to be terrible congressmen, we’d want Liz Becton on our team, to crush skulls. Go Liz! Liz is great!
LIZ/SANTELLI 2012!
Hi Liz! Welcome to the pillory!
Well, she did say Have a Nice Day at the end!! Cut the woman some slack!
More bondage, less discipline please, Mistress Liz.
Liz has won the Person of the Year award. She is amazing. Good for you LIZ.
LIZ LIZ LIZ.
LIZ.
An illiterate group of readers?
God, she makes Leona Helmsley seem saintly. I think she’d ably crush skulls, balls, TruckNutz, and any small animals that walk in front of her with a single bitch-infested laser glare.
“…what a base, narcissistic, illiterate group of readers they have!”
Lawsuit for libel in 3, 2, 1…
Oh my. This is even better when read with your pants off.
Anyway, is she available?
Hey hobospacesjunkie! Liz wanted me to tell you that she’s got the cup of hot fat and head of Alfredo Garcia that you ordered, and that you can use the first to help shove the second up your puckered little ass. KTHXBAI!
I don’t know where Ms. Becton finds the time to write so many vitriolic emails, as I’m sure most of her day is spent picking the sinews of eviscerated underlings from between her fangs.
A bit hypocritcal for “Baghdad” Jim’s office to be chastising leakers. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/02/washington/02mcdermott.html?ref=us
But he’s my rep, and I still love him.
Why does this woman not work for Michele Bachmann?
Why has she not been promoted to work at Gitmo?
Also, this bitch violates all ethics rules for true gatekeepers, and I would send her sorry ass packing.
My email writing campaign to Liz starts immediately. She’ll be delighted to hear from me, I’m sure. I think I’ll start with asking for advise. You see I have problems in dealing with “people.”
Liz,
I could give you some projects if you’re looking for more work to do. Just make sure to let me know.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

And who’s she calling illittrut? Also.
memzilla: Truth is an absolute defense to libel.
Oh Lizzy-Bizzy. You do the same hilarious thing my students do when they want their essays to sound important. The inappropriately substitute uncommon for common words sort of haphazardly, resulting in bizarre constructions like “I will never venture to that site again.” OK Magellan, but I’d suggest ending ill-advised ventures through the thesaurus as well. Sincerely, the prof who always gave you C’s for some mysterious reason.
Wow…I think Liz is my boss.
who mistakenly saluted her as “Liz.”
There’s a lot of that kind of sniping going around. Boxer went full-tilt postal and demanded to be called “Senator” instead of “Ma’am” at a contentious congressional hearing.
Must have something to do with the position of the moon….
Countdown to next angry wonkette related e-mail / misguided threat of legal action begins… now. Expecting comedy.
I was really getting into those emails, then I remembered I was illiterate and stopped.
I’ll bet she straps one on regularly, so that she can enjoy being on the pitching end of the buttsecks.
This is really too easy to snark on. She’s done most of the work herself.
For the record, I graduated middle school sometime around 1982, back when staff members of our elected representatives realized that they too were public servants and had a modicum of grace and class, to say nothing of a smidgen of humility.
Her MEAN!
ManchuCandidate: Liz is to constipated three year old with a scorching case of diaper rash as shit is to stink.

Sadly, Liz has vowed to venture to Wonkette nevermore. I would love to see her email response to this post. Oh how I love my Wonkette.
“And if you got paid for it…”
Wait just one second here…does this mean Wonkette PAYS for tips? If so, you owe me one jillion rEVOLution Ron Paul fiat dollars. I will also accept payment in gold bullion.
And I don’t really know if she’d be so much help for a WARBLOG. You’d get ready to do some warrin, and she’d be having some screaming email fight about whether or not “trucknutz” should be capitalized and copyrighted.
Isn’t the congressman she works for also a psychiatrist?
Jesus Liz, mainline the Midol, STAT!
I named my new TRUCKNUTZ “Liz”, also to.
Poor dear, sweet Liz. Doesn’t sound like she’s gotten laid in, oh, ever. Which is not surprising, given that she’d probably snap the dick right off of any potential paramour.
Sheesh, Betty! Try the decaf!
I would offer some sort of snarky comment, but I’m apparently illiterate and thus unable to realize that I’ve been insulted. Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz

If you get anywhere with her please ask if she has a sister.

Barrett808: And it’s funny that amid all the flying fur, that Gingrich got off scott-free for explicitly breaking the agreement he’d made with the House Ethics Committee, as shown in that conference call. But then, who expects Newt Gingrich, that human underwear skidmark, to behave ethically? I’m sure the Republicans involved were laughing at the public’s naïvete.
Ms Becton’s presence helps explain why McDermott (my congressman-for-life, too) gets shit done. And by “shit”, I mean nothing.

Today we are all lowly, putrid, little Wonkette readers.
“I have contacted Telecom and I have informed them of what has happened and since it’s a quiet day, they are checking all the forwarded emails from this list serve.”
Ha, yeah, Liz, I’m sure the IT people were working real hard on that — uhh, Telecom? Are they forwarding from their voicemail to Wonkette?
Let me put it this way, they don’t check forwarded emails and perhaps they were PRETENDING to know how to check forwarded emails and pretended that they checked for THAT forwarded email. They did YOU a disservice.
In the future, you should be VERY careful about such things. People like to brag about their email forward checking in DC. It’s a past time for some. It’s also dangerous to email, as you have just found out.
Oh, man, I live in McD’s district and he is just a pleasant old man who dodders about and, you know, will occasionally get knighted by Africans. How did it come to pass that he hired Satan’s butt baby to be his executive assistant? SO CONFUSING.
Enturbulate: Seems like a likely response from us illiterates.
I want to meet Liz so badly! Do you think if we stand out by a metro near the hill with a sign that says “HI LIZ Becton!” she would stop to meet us?
meg9: If I were in the DC area, I would carry a crucifix, rather, knowing LIZ is loose.
“And what a base, narcissistic, illiterate group of readers they have!”
Dear Liz “Comedumpster” B.,
I know you are, but what am I.

P.S. Fearing bannagement I censored your nickname, Liz. We both know what kind of dumpster you really are though, don’t we, Liz?
P.P.S. Bannagement is so a word!
I just don’t think Liz gets us at all.
Maybe she should trot over to Jesus General for a while. That would have her blood pressure squirting out of her ears.
Liz Becton is a cunt.
Olbermann did a bit about her last night; apparently there’s a you tube video of someone (a guy dressed in drag) reenacting her email diatribes. A thousand gold ducats for the first person to find the url of the video!
I would love to be there for the “I am Spartacus” moment in Congressman McDermott’s office.

No true Republican would ever act like this, so she must be a RINO. Once the party is purged of all moderates we can collapse the BIG TENT of BIG GOVERNMENT and Hussein 0bomba will be defeated and President Palin can rule, forever, the end.
I am sad that the c-bomb is banned (isn’t it?) because finally, someone actually deserves it.

This all might be amusing if Becton weren’t such an absolute nobody. She makes 25K a year and has been on the Hill for about 17 years as a low level staffer.
Leave Bitsy alone.
Come here a minute: Fine. I admit to falling for that one.

I can tell you from personal experience that there is more than one Liz-the-scheduler up there on Capitol Hill.

Pardon me for speaking with a Lizp. I’ll have to look for those e mails on LiztServ. It’s hard, being ilLizerate and all.
“The meanest woman in D.C.”? Jean Schmidt wept.
she makes 60 grand a year….
I would like to see a cage match between Liz and FOX spokeswoman, Irene Briganti.
The sheer bitchiness would be amazing.
S.Luggo: It’s actually upwards of $60K a year, enough that she should have a higher level of professionalism… But you’re right. She is a nobody who is a low level staffer, and therefore she should shut the fuck up and quit acting like queen shit of fuck mountain.
I would love to meet this Liz Bechton in real life. I mean, what does one who routinely flies off the handle like that look like? Working in her office must be like living in East Germany circa 1979. As a sociological specimen she sounds fascinating.
ChickenTeriyakiBoy: wow. nearly 90k last year, plus getting to see McDermott naked a few times. (maybe.)
Sign me up. I’ll bitchskank all of you Wonketters until the end of time too.
“…what a base, narcissistic, illiterate group of readers they have!”
(*blush*)
You know who probably really has tales to tell? Lisa Murkowski. Check the salary increase; Liz worked for her dad, then transitioned to her office, where she lasted all of a month. Hmmm.
S.Luggo: Didin’t we figure out in the other thread that she makes more like $60k? Not that it matters too much - she’s still a relative nobody.
Of course, now Olbermann has made her “famous” with one of his trying-too-hard comedy videos, so hey, raises all around?
Liz_Becton’s_Mole would be such a great screen name.
Woah, I just got a glimpse of my future if I had been forced to continue my career in office administration. Thank you humanities PhD program. Now I’ll just be a pretentious asshole instead of a shrieking succubus.

The worst “do-you-know-who-I-am” types were almost always junior congressional staffers. I caught one sitting on top of the Vietnam Wall to have his picture taken. He gave me the “I work for Rep.

Being such a Washington powerlady and all, wearing your plastic badge to the grocery store to impress the vast unwashed (I saw you), you should know better than trying to mudwrestle with the Wonketeers. Better men than you have tried, and failed.

Liz Liz Liz,
Didn’t you learn anything from recess? NEVER let the boys know what bothers you or they will tease you mercilessly. It’s irresistible. Watching you flip out and issue lame threats like, “I’m gonna tell” or “I’m gonna sue” just makes it all the more fun.
One other thing I’ve noticed over the years is that republicans tend to have very little regard for trial lawyers when they’re oh, say, suing an insurance company to pay the guy who’s paralyzed for life; or suing a doctor who took out the wrong liver (or something) - but call them names or something lame and it’s “I’ll see you in COURT!”
Hey Liz, karma’s a bitch. Mess with Wonkette, and you don’t even get to wait until you die to have your bad behavior bite you in the ass. Liz.
queeraselvis v 2.0: Word! Medievalist/gender studies here. Chaucer is so gay! Yay, crippling debt and our futures being determined by the price of paper! I think Jim is going to ban us if we keep having our nerdy side conversation, so see ya at the MLA conference! Fuck the victorians (except for Wilde).

Stalin said it best: never email anyone in front of a camera. Or something.
I will never venture again.
Venture…venture. What a woody sort of word.

But we are out of okra oil. Stop by the store and get some of that oil, $3.99 for a whole quart. Yes, the purple kind. You should have done so earlier, like I told you. Do I have to do everything myself? You think you’re the only girl in Washington that I can have on the side. They all want me, you bitch! Damn, you piss me off.

Aw, that was sweet of you to pass on Liz’s message! Sorry I slept all day and missed the fun. Yesterday I told all I was headed over to Liz’s office to dry hump one of her cow legs. This did not go over so well. Liz kept telling me to go away, which only got me hotter. Then I soiled my pants and Liz was NOT PLEASED. Which of course only made me hotter. This went on for some time.
This whole story has been the bright spot of my entire year. Thank you, Wonkette, for giving me some richly deserved revenge on this batshit woman who terrorized me for three sweltering months. Revenge is indeed a dish best served cold.

kth: That’s her! That is indeed Elizabeth Becton. Finally someone found the right picture…
thursday: Red roses for a blue meanie!
GO, Telecomglove! Point, and having pointed, POUNCE!
wallythepug:
She did (seriously), but then she found out the hard way that Republicans like young male aides, and bitch got the boot.
Please stop calling her Liz. I know her as Bessie. That’s her favorite nickname.
Now that Lizzy-Liz-Liz Jr. Shabadoo is fired from Congress, can Wonkette hire her as a regular contributor/board admin?
D____ B_____? That’s an awful name to call someone who handles your food.
Lizzie Becton took an axe
And gave her server forty whacks.
We she saw what she had done
She gave her intern forty-one.
Illiterate, my dear Miss Becton? I fear not!
This woman is a national treasure. May she forever get crotch-rot.
Can we look forward to an all-caps email diatribe arriving in Wonkette’s in-box in the near future? Fingers crossed!
thursday: Seeing the pic, I no longer have any trouble believing these emails.
Here’s the Liz Becton segment from “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” with a guy in drag playing Liz.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677#31435502
thursday: I repeat my earlier comment. Based on that picture she should be happy to be called anything other than “Sooey.”
sagebrush: The guy in drag looks better.
I’m late to this particular party, so if this has been said, well then, fuck, ban me. Obviously, Liz must have came to DC with McDermott from Washington. She’s so Seattle Lesbian, her ridiculously outraged emails make me yawn. Take your estrogen, you butch bitch, and calm down.
That second set of e-mails is so ironic that Alanis Morisette could wrote a song about them.
Confession time, since it’s late and nobody’s reading. Why doesn’t this bitch send this stuff anonymously? When I was with the City, I once got a memo from the Fire Dept that had gone out to every department. One paragraph, three misspelled words. (Their instead of there, for one example). I circled them in red and sent it back with a note that said, “Spell check is not enough. Proofread before you send these out.”
And this Liz person calls us illiterate. Base, yes. Not illiterate.
Liz, Liz, Lizzo,
Now I will never get to be the bitchiest bitch in DC. Thanks a lot, shitsack.
DustBowlBlues: Meh. She’s a career low level congressional staffer. Until McDermott she worked for several Republicans. Reading what I just wrote, I can sort of understand why she’s such a high strung beotch all the time.
ChickenTeriyakiBoy: From her salary, it looks as though she was off the public teat in 2007.
But notice, she worked for Repubs when they ran the Hill, and then the Dems when they took over.
She know where to get her bread buttered.
you have got to be kidding me.
a site whose commenters regularly issue death wishes … chiding someone for being mean…
she probably –is– a commenter on this blog.
Well the good news is that the internet is a very powerful tool in screening prospective employees, therefore I am going to Elizabeth (Liz) Becton as much as possible on Wonkette to make her feel dirty, confused and unemployable.
meg9: That would interesting. Keep us informed on what happens!
Zhu Bajie
Cape Clod: Awesome.
In other news, does anyone else feel bad for Liz, a little? She obviously thinks she’s a Very Important Person in the world, to be emailing the way she does. And yet, she is completely insignificant. Her delusional self-importance makes me want to feed her some very good pot and get her to chillax. Imagine going through life with such a stiff poker up your bum bum and taking everything, including and esp. yourself, so seriously? Sad, really. Poor Liz.
Pathetic. Liz, do yourself a favor. STFU.
MrsNateSilver: “In other news, does anyone else feel bad for Liz, a little?”
Uh, no.
I imagine how she can’t go anywhere in her accustomed circles, like, forEVER, without people snickering at her.
I examine my feelings for sympathy.
Zero.
Of course, that could be just me.
If this really is Betty: http://tinyurl.com/m7ck76 the question is WHAT. IS. SHE. WEARING. I mean, you can’t dangle an image like that in front of a big ol’ bitchy homo like me and expect me to say NOTHING!
DogBoy, it’s either Chico’s or Ann Taylor Loft. Yikes.
Ugh, if every self-important person in Washington was outed and Liz-ified, as we have done, the only decent and honorable person left would be Riley — and we don’t yet have enough information (’cept of the god-awful sweater) to embarrass and humiliate him.
She can’t help herself, she was born with a silver republican in her mouth.
MrsNateSilver: Nope.
“What kind of nasty, petty, poorly written (Did these people graduate from middle school to high school?) site is http://wonkette.com”
Liz, baby, the WWW is critical in front of every Interwebs address, thank you for maintinaing your high standards. You can even put the HTTP:// in front just to eliminate any and all confusion about what we are referring to
This might be a good/real pixxx of Elizabeth (Liz, the Bitch or waster of your tax dollars) Becton. Then again the site is called Thaindian so it just might be some cougar prowl site:
http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/world/dont-call-me-liz-says-elizabeth-becton_100207137.html
Anyway, she deserves homeless unemployment for the rest of her life for stealing taxpayers money. Or, she can go serve a tour of duty in Iraq to redeem herself. Her boss has no balls if she’s not fired with cause.
Bruno: wow. that’s spooky. the magick wonkette changed my post with just WWW to include the http://
Youstonedorjuststupid?: “D____ B_____? That’s an awful name to call someone who handles your food.”
I’m guessing someone isn’t going to bother washing their hands after their next bathroom break. Hope you’re up-to-date with your Hepatitis boosters Elizabeth Becton*
*please keep using her full name. I would like this to be the #1 link associated with google searches related to her name, ensuring unemployable status for years to come.
Dear Liz,
I think we should sue you under restatement 90 promissory estoppel theory. Our reliance on you as a government employee creates the obligation that you are working every minute to earn your overinflated salary. Not only are your e-mails a waste of time and resources, you also are preventing potential commerce and much needed stimulation to an economy in when you took 20 e-mails to schedule a meeting between your boss and Chase bank. You are a puppet that could and will be replaced by a machine. Your job could be replaced easily with someone willing to work without opinions and/or entitlement. I cannot emphasize enough how meaningless your career is. Your boss makes decisions to which you have no influence, and your self-entitlement should not get in the way of deals between the government and private industry. You need to be fired immediately.
-The really important lawyer.
Again, the lady’s name is D____ C____ and she was NOT YET FIRED. She was SUSPENDED.
Holy shit. Shelley Sekula Gibbs was suspended?
Is there any chance to get a picture of the lovely Liz? I’m guessing a cross between Dick Cheney and Roseanne Barr. Of course, sometimes they surprise you, she might be an Angie Harmon type.
windupbird: well, fair enough, i was thinking about casual corner, or maybe dress barn woman. but i have a further question: why does this person have a job that pays $60k, and i–with decades of experience in office operations, scheduling, copy-writing, and all-around constituent service not have a job? if anyone has a lead, let me know. i am exremely respectable and responsible, and many times a lot of fun. I’d never let my boss down with something this ridiculous. resume and references available on request.
I have met Becton. No, she’s not a devil in real life. No horns, nothing - nada. Sorry to dash everyone’s hopes and dreams. In fact - she makes mean homemade brownies. Also, as for physical description - she is shortish, brown hair - from what I remember. Nothing out of the ordinary.
However, this is certainly not McDermott’s finest hour. In fact - Mcdermott’s old scheduler, who I’ll just refer to as “Bev” was indeed fantastic and ran a tight ship. I also never knew her to have a superiority and ego complex like Becton. I wish she was back…
darkstar: Be careful or you might be outed as an evil mole
darkstar: she’s not a devil in real life. No horns, nothing
Are you sure ? Did you check under her hair? Maybe give her a friendly tousle to feel around? The horns I’ve seen (on teevee) always seem to sprout from somewhere under the hair. She may be filing hers down a la Hellboy.
“Be careful or you might be outed as an evil mole”
I resemble that remark!
Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie! You get your panties get in a bunch so tightly and frequently that surgery is going to be required to remove them.
DustBowlBlues: Huh, are Seattle dykes all that bad? I’ve rather been avoiding them, preferring the lipstick lesbos if I have to be around any of them at all, so… le sigh… I go away for FOUR DAYS and this is what happens? What really pisses me off is that I spent the last few days just minutes from DC, packing my boyfriends’ parents up for an international move, and I prolly could have stopped by McDermott’s office on the Hill and met Liz, seeing as how I’m a constituent and all… wait, is that how it works? He DOES have an office in DC, right?
WHAT?! She called Wonkette readers narcissistic? Liz is a total and complete…oh look, a mirror…
What the hell is wrong with this woman? She’s working in a Congressman’s office? What a juvenile, childish asshole! She needs to get a grip–and grow up. And get a sense of humor. And some insight into the zeitgeist. And some intelligence. And some diplomatic skills. And some writing skills. And a personality. What a doofus!
I may be base, illiterate, and narcissistic, but at least I’m smart enought to Google a phone number or buying some frosting.
Mad Farmer Manifest: Make that “buy” not “buying”. Just going out of my way to prove Lizzy’s point.
There have to be more emails like these out there somewhere. Dish, somebody, dish!
