POLITICO’s Click thing, the Sassy of POLITICO, is reporting that Liz “Liz” Becton has quit her job as Jim McDermott’s #1 emailer! Earlier this year, Liz was immortalized for three days when she sent 900 insane person emails to someone that called her by her name, which is Liz. Anyway, she’s gone now, so try to go about your day as normally as you can. [CLICK]

Meh. You don’t have to be crazy to work for McDermott, but it helps. Maybe she got let go because she hasn’t successfully recorded an incriminating Repub phone conversation in a while.
What have you done for us lately, Liz?
Obscurity bectons.
That photo screams “Lizzard Queen!”
Maybe she can intern at Wonkette now.
Well it’s pretty obvious she didn’t leave because she got a job somewhere else, y’know, given that there aren’t any jobs anywhere else.
I’ve heard Liz Claiboune is hiring.
It must be plucked-from-obscurity Thursday or something — speaking of which, we haven’t heard from Joe the Plumber recently. Maybe he’s living off the riches from his digital television converter advertising empire.
Today we are all lowly, putrid, little wonkette readers.
[re=498683]SayItWithWookies[/re]: What are you doing?!? Don’t say his name! Refer to him as the dark lord, or plumby-wassname, or whatever. Saying his name will make him reappear!
Head to the hills!
As part of the base, narcissistic, illiterate group of readers of this nasty, petty, poorly written site, I had forgotten all about those emails. They’re still funny after all this time, Lizzie.
[re=498693]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Don’t worry, his real name is Sam Wurzelbacher. Oh, shit.
[re=498693]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: But Joe isn’t his name, remember; nor is he an actual licensed plumber. That name has no power over the man who makes Palin look like an intellectual.
You say Elizabeth
I say Liz
You say urinate
I say whiz
Elizabeth, Liz
Urinate, Whiz
Let’s call the whole thing off!
All right, I got nothing.
[re=498697]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Watch it – twice more and we’re all screwed!
… as if the Supreme Court hadn’t already handled that today.
But what was Googled (or Bing’d, if yer a doosh) to find that photo??
[re=498697]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Now you’ve done it. Maybe Pajamas Media will send him on another reporting tour of Israel, or he’ll actually follow through on his threat to fun for Congress.
[re=498705]magic titty[/re]: “Lady MacBeth” would be my guess.
[re=498697]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
Don’t you have to say his name three times to the mirror in a darkened bathroom to conjure him up?
[re=498711]the problem child[/re]: You would be correct!
John Singer Sargent: “Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth” (1889)

[re=498697]SayItWithWookies[/re]: That is a good point… if your bring-forth-the-evil name is already a pseudonym, then which one does the bringing-forth?
Oh hey, I just realised that Lizzy worked for my Congressman. Well, I say my, it’s not as if I’m allowed to vote. Anyway, lets hope that being Lizcakes-less doesn’t badly affect how he serves the good people of Washington’s 7th, eh? EH! eh? Oh.
Nice crown, Newell.
[re=498727]Juli Weiner[/re]: Self-referential link to alternate Liz story is one step too self-referential, BTW.
[re=498735]the problem child[/re]: Never mind, scroll down. It’s full meal deal.
[re=498727]Juli Weiner[/re]: Googling for “Ophelia vampire manga” would yield some more amusing pictorials, but … oh goodness, definitely not quite SFW and somehow even evades safe search.
[re=498711]the problem child[/re]: Shakespeare nerd. Thanks.
[re=498733]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: I wsa 7th District, too, until my utter hatred of Mayor McCheese forced me to take my guns and move to Skagit County.
[re=498727]Juli Weiner[/re]: Seeing Liz Becton as Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth made me laugh so hard that I signed up as a commentator–after years of reading Wonkette–just to say how much it made my day.
Out, damn’d Liz! Out, I say!
I love Lady MacBeth. She reminds me of so many of the queens in here.
(You know, mentally deranged wannabe monarchs who lack the courage of their lack of convictions?)
“Out, out, damn’d spot!”
(I like Sargent, too, although that’s not his best work.)
[re=498729]La Cieca[/re]: That makes sense — I was googling Klimt. The pale woman and gold-flecked costume fooled me.
[re=498733]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Actually I wasn’t worried either one would summon him — he always shows up when nobody’s thinking about him anyway.
Next stop, the DMV.
Whol told you that? Whoever told you that is no friend of yours.
Liz:
Liz, where are you working, now, Liz? Liz, called Wonkette and let them know where you’re working now. Okay, Liz? Liz, are you seeing this? Where do you work now, Liz? Liz, Liz, Liz, Liz!
Liz!
Red State is hiring.
‘Earlier THIS year’? I can’t believe it’s almost the end of January, and I’m still writing “fuck the pope” on my checks!
(with apologies to Pareene…)
