Kos Kid Winston Steward Confesses to Ellie Light Astroturf Letters
A man who identified himself as Winston Steward, 51, of Frazier Park, Calif., says he made up the name "Ellie Light" to protect himself from criticism and possible physical attacks, and used fake addresses across the country to get local newspapers to publish his letters.Wow that Rusty sure has a nose for Astroturf eh?"I am Winston Steward and have been sending the letters from Ellie Light," he told The Plain Dealer in an e-mail late Tuesday, following a phone interview in which he said the same. "I hope this ends any confusion and sets the record straight."
In the interview he spins quite a tale, even disavowing his wife claiming they are divorced. They're not. But probably soon will be as she says
He said, however, that he and Brooks are no longer married, a point Brooks disputed.Ha! She doesn't sound too impressed eh?"He's making up all kinds of garbage," she said. "We're not divorced. We're not separated. He just doesn't want anybody to trace him because he's afraid of the right-wing crazies up in Bakersfield."
She said she does not condone his use of a fake name.
