A Kean aide denies a hand in blog hits on Menendez

[deadparrot]

Someone on the liberal political blog Blue Jersey has been posting -- gasp! -- anonymous criticisms of Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez.

And the blog's founder said yesterday he has traced the bogus postings, through Internet addresses and other evidence, back to Jill Hazelbaker, the press secretary for the Senate campaign of Republican state Sen. Tom Kean Jr.

Hazelbaker dismissed the claim as "nonsense" and denied the campaign had anything to do with the postings.

"Oh, please," she said. "I'm very busy. I don't have time to focus on Blue Jersey. ... I don't blog."

2. Good idea

This has already been in New Jersey's major statewide paper the Star-Ledger, the New York Times, the Associated Press, United Press International, ABC 7 New York, and at least one of the NPR stations in New Jersey.

Here is one of the many blog posts on BlueJersey about it:

Kean's press secretary is a moron.

4. "Oh, please."

OK, maybe it wasn't you personally, Jill. You got any ambitious, ardent young College Republicans volunteering for you and using your computer? They'd be great at that kind of thing, wouldn't they?
