Politico: "Don’t Call Me Liz" Becton Leaves McDermott’s Office

Some people have internet stardom thrust upon them, and such was the case of Elizabeth Becton, the newly ex-executive assistant to Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Fightin’ 7th). Politico reports Becton has left the office (along with chief of staff Mike DeCesare). Her infamous “Don’t call me Liz” email thread, the Keith Olbermann reenactment of which was #1 in the list of the most outrageous political videos of 2009, was actually just a highlight from a storied email-invective past, according to Wonkette. She’ll always have her Facebook fan page, of course. And we’ll always have the eye-singing memories.
