Reader comment on item: Sudden Jihad Syndrome – It's Now Official
in response to reader comment: Sudden Jihad Syndrome & "Mental Doctor" Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA)

The review was right, in fact, Elizabeth Becton is an aide to Jim McDermott, a Democrat from Washington State. Whatever you do, don't call her Liz, because she goes insane. After an e-mail with a staffer from some organization called her Liz in an email, she responded that she didn't like the name, and after the man apologized she continued, exchanging 19 emails in total about how she didn't like to be called Liz. Since she works for the government, she is paid with tax dollars, and there are REAL problems for these people to deal with. She's still employed, but many would give short term loans to see Elizabeth Becton go away.
