In case you haven’t heard the story about Liz, er… Elizabeth Becton freaking out after being called “Liz” in an e-mail, head on over to Politico.
If you want to score a meeting with Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), know this: His scheduler/office manager, Elizabeth Becton, is to be addressed by her full name — not Liz or any other variant.
An executive assistant at McBee Strategic recently learned this the hard way. A few weeks ago, the assistant e-mailed Becton seeking a meeting with McDermott and a client, JPMorgan Chase. Days later, the assistant checked back in and unfortunately began the e-mail with “Hi Liz.”
Anyway, in the event you want to meet with Jim McDermott, you would e-mail Liz Becton at meetingwithmcdermott@mail.house.gov. If you’d just like to drop her a line, you would use: Elizabeth.becton@mail.house.gov.

Thats hilarious, I’m emailing that bitch as we speak.
Please remove that email. Where did you get that email from? It is not a funny joke.
Please inform me when that email has been REMOVED.
Best
I’ll bite and pretend that’s actually Liz Becton.
I should also mention this for people who get all “Oh, that’s wrong!”
I got the email address online. It’s all the hell over the place on .gov websites if you bother to look. If you know how to use an advanced search in Google, it’s already been out there for quite some time.
All I did was connect it to the current story. And we happen to rank #1 in Google now if you search “elizabeth becton email address” or “liz becton email address”.
Hell, her salary is even posted online. Her email(s) certainly aren’t confidential.
So, in short – fuck ya.
Don’t worry, I’ve taken it upon myself to email Liz every hour until you REMOVE her email. Just so she’s informed.
Awesome!
LIZ LIZ LIZ LIZ LIZ LIZ
I hear she now goes by Zab…it’s more edgy than Liz
Has it been a slow news day for the last two days? Seriously, you need to get a life. Why else would you email this woman every hour? GROW UP people! She didn’t torture puppies! Lobbyists are scumbags EVERYONE knows that. What makes you think the emails are true? I heard that Georgetown Law is going to help Ms. Becton out with a little lesson learned for the chick at McBee who sold the embellished emails to Politico. How much money do you think she got? SLEAZOID LOBBYISTS!
Ok Catherine… lobbyists are scum, yet the person being a bitch over “Liz” vs “Elizabeth” isn’t a lobbyist.
In this case, the person apologizing profusely is the lobbyist.
While I don’t disagree in general about your stance on lobbyists, you’re certainly picking an odd example to back it up, don’t you think?
And it’s not really a slow news day – but it is good to point out that people like Liz are who we have working within our government.
Liz,
Listen, you are misspelling “pastime” as “past time.” What the hell is wrong with you?
Mlle Corday
Dear Liz,
In keeping with your wishes I am keeping this formal.
You are a vagina.
If I were being informal I would let you know you are a cunt.
Good day.
Frank
I just sent her 5 emails
Dizzy lizzy your so fine.
Dizzy lizzy please don’t whine.
Lifes to short to cry this time
take a breather and get off the wine!
ROFL LIZ you made my day. I
just realized that my life is blissful compared to what your life must be like.
You must really have an easy and carefree job to be able to spend so much time..er um wasting so much time..losing so much time to such a trivial and unprofessional use of government time.
You must also have a limited amount of friends as your bar is set so GD high.
BEST,
christine, chrissy, chris, christy, hey you, ummm what is your name again…. Pick one
(hey at least I have people who want to talk to me!!!)
Catherine Windsor,
Perspective, much?
Some people reading these posts might find some of the comments sexist.
Don’t be sexist. Bitches hate that.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. ;>
It’s awfully petty to post someone’s email address on a website so that people who aren’t connected to the situation can harass them. However, anyone who works with Congress knows that all you need to get the email of a Congressional staffer is their first and last names. I’m just hoping that those of us who already knew that weren’t childish enough to bother this girl more than she’s already been bothered.
I hope this “person” (and I use that term generously) will remove the email address, lest I be forced to take legal action.
Hey Liz! Get over yourself. You are a SECRETARY. Write that down.
Liz,
Come to Fort Bragg, N.C.
At night.
Very…sincerely,
Harv
I saw the reenactment (complete with really bad drag) on Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night (6/18) and I was ROTFLMMFAO over the actual reenactment!
Shut the fuck up, CAM. Grow a pair.
Hee hee, I just happily sent LIZ DUMB ASS a scathing email and told her to GROW UP. I was going to tell her to GROW THE FUCK UP, but I thought that she might just faint when she read the word “FUCK”, so I refrained. God I love getting peoples’ goats. Ann Coulter, you’re next.
People are nasty little monkeys. I look for signs of the divine spark, and find none. Liz is a bitch. Most of you are mean spirited animals, and I am a self righteous prick.
Catherine Windsor: I think the lobbyist’s executive assistant is a guy, not a “chick.” Odd that you made that assumption.
whatever Cam..This is funny shit ..join in and have a ball.Howdy LIZ
To the “Liz” threatening legal action:
Your IP resolves to LA. Not quite DC, is it? Shut the fuck up and quit pretending to be someone else.
CAM:
One petty turn deserves another – she deserves every bother that comes her way. As long as they all remain as simple annoyances, and no one is ridiculous enough to actually threaten her or anything like that, she’s getting what she deserves.
Phooey! Both email addresses have now been disabled. UNsatisfactory.
We figured what she wants to be called: E-les-a-bitch
Ben Dover
Don’t think the 2 e-mails to E-les-a-bitch have been disabled. At least all 10 of ours have gone through, JUST NOW.
Ben Dover
Hey you fuck tards. I hope you had your fun. I will be investigating each and everyone of you for priors. Thanks to your class act, I am now in the middle of due process, and unfortunately, I believe I will be losing my job.
So, thanks. For nothing.
Again, not the real Liz but here goes…
I think you meant to say “every one” in your second sentence.
Also, I would be infinitely happy if Liz Becton lost her job for being a snarky bitch and humiliating her boss .
Also, you seem to, like, really like using comments, a lot.
“no one is ridiculous enough to actually threaten her or anything like that”
Are you new to the Internet?
Honestly, legal action over an email? Brb suing my friend because he called me a ban word
No, Antonio, I’m not.
Which is exactly how I know anyone who uses their website to publicly endorse or incite illegal threats of violence against someone else is going to be in for a massive headache.
yo, any follow ups to this bitch? this bitch needs to get some work done.
i would be really interested to hear further news regarding this item. hopefully she gets fired…or worse…HAHAHAAH
What the hell is Georgetown Law going to do? Consult the 1st Amendment? The answer is nothing!
Investigate people freely expressing themselves for priors? What a joke! Under what authority? To what end? Yet another lame attempt at intimidation by Liz. Even after defeat Liz still hasn’t learned that going off on people doesn’t solve anything. Due process? You will be rightly fired for cause. That process is most certainly due. And the person you berated time and again absolutely did the proper thing by outing you for who you really are. Did you really think you could be that mean and do so secretly? One would think those working on the Hill would know a thing or two about DISCRETION.
