Guess who: the researcher who brought Rmoney's 47% video to MoJo's attention?

[Waiting For Everyman]

This is not the videographer, but the person who noticed it and tracked down the maker of the video on twitter, and contacted David Corn at Mother Jones to connect the two.

It was James Carter IV, President Carter's grandson. How great is that? And btw, he's "for hire", if anyone has a lead on a suitable project for him (somehow I have a feeling offers will be coming his way soon though). Here's his tweet about it...

How about the poetic justice of Carter's grandson helping to ruin Rmoney? Rmoney puts down Carter every chance he gets.

Bravo, JEC IV!


Btw, I'm pretty sure the videographer is this person:

@JECarter4 I think Carter's karma just ran over Romney's dogma.

2. Shit, I've been using Ann Ominous as a pen name for years.

I hope I don't have to come up with a replacement. The best I was ever able to think of after "Ann Ominous" was "Nan DePlume"--not nearly as witty.

By the way, it looks like tomorrow's story will involve footage of Romney talking about investing in a Chinese sweat shop. Damn.

3. Thanks, Waiting For Everyman..

I've been calling him James Carter lll.

This is crazy..how life can turn around on a dime! Who the heck wasn't getting sick of romney camp dissing Pres Carter?

4. Let's try not to out the videographer

He/she could potentially lose quite a bit from income to even health.
