Ernie Boch Jr.'s mouthpiece would hire PI to find identity of Ernie Boch III
By adamg - 10/2/09 - 3:47 pm
Bob Nelson reports on the Boston Radio List that he was listening to Carr on WRKO this afternoon and the car dealer came on down and said:
- He is not the Ernie Boch III, who's calling for a boycott of Carr's advertisers on Blue Mass. Group (and on tried on Red Mass. Group, where the reaction was a bit less friendly).
- Flack Extraordinaire George Regan suggested he hire a private investigator to find out who III really is
- Boch thinks it's somebody at the State House

I think it is a great publicity stunt
Who's doing it, however, is anybody's guess. Both Ernie, Carr, and WRKO certainly got quite a bit of attention from it, didn't they?
Kinda suspicious that they HAVEN'T started legal action, eh? There's a decent case for libel in there somewhere.
3 != 2

Hard to start legal action
Hard to start legal action when they aren't sure whom to serve the papers to.
it's actually REALLY easy
You file the case against a jane/john doe, then get a court order served to the hosting company. It is, in fact, nearly trivial.
Ugh
Teaming up with Howie Carr and whining like a petulant frat boy whose dad owns a dealership -- that's so rock 'n' roll, Ernie. Joe Strummer is shooting you a V sign from the grave and calling you a wank.
Jr. Owns the Dealership
I wholeheartedly endorse your sentiment, even though I'm no fan of EB3. But I wanted to point out that EBJr inherited the business when EBSr, and that it's a $1B business.

But he's still a wanker, no doubt about it, hanging out with the Andelman boys and pretending to be a blues man.
You'd think the moderators
You'd think the moderators would have the basic consideration to deny the use of names of public figures for usernames. It shouldn't take a lot of deep thinking to figure this out.
