Who is EllaLohan?

How did she know about Vicki Iseman and John McCain before the New York Times published the story?

Very mysterious.

EllaLohan is the name of an apparent video fancier who--weeks before the New York Times released its story about Republican presidential candidate John McCain's alleged affair with Telcom lobbyist Vicki Iseman--was dropping hints of the affair in comments affixed to videos on sites scattered around the Internet.

Mysterious.

She hinted at the relationship between Iseman and McCain which is an " an angle not even Drudge took when it reported on the lobbying angle between Iseman and McCain months ago," as reported on Radar this evening.

The Radar piece tracks some EllaLohan comments:
Here's what EllaLohan wrote on a YouTube video posted by Senator McCain's campaign: "EllaLohan (4 weeks ago): John McCain plus lobbyist Vicki Iseman equals trouble for Republicans. Just ask the New York Times."

Then EllaLohan popped up elsewhere on YouTube with a similar comment for an anti-McCain video: "EllaLohan (1 month ago): i've heard from a bunch of my d.c. friends that mccain is doing special favors for a female lobbyist, who's returning the favor, if you catch my drift. this is the story that his lawyers are trying to prevent the new york times from writing. he's a crook just like the rest of the politicians."

Ella has some knowledge of the coming John McCain-Vicki Iseman story. The question is: How did she know?

The only info found on the mysterious EllaLohan's YouTube profile is her gender—female—and age—40.
Is she an insider who couldn't resist hinting at what she really knew or Drudge clicker with a keen ability to read between the lines? Or better still a Times employee dissatisfied with the paper's hold on the article? Attempts to reach EllaLohan have not been successful.

DBKP attempted to track down EllaLohan.

Attempts by DBKP to contact her have, so far, proved fruitless.

And that's kinda mysterious.



Ella also commented on a video by Electric Light Orchestra last week, but there was no politics in that one. She wrote, "It is the Sainte-Chapelle, a 13th Century royal chapel built in Paris under Louis IX."

Not so mysterious on that one.

But here's a several comments she posted--weeks before the story broke--that we were able to run down on videos sites.

So who is EllaLohan?

Is she someone who dug up the info on Iseman and her long-standing relationship with John McCain after reading a December 20 2007 Drudge report posting?

Is she Marilyn W. Thompson, the Times reporter on the Iseman-McCain story who was reportedly so upset at the Times sitting on the story that she left and is heading back to the Washington Post?

Is Thompson a video buff?

Is she interested in Mitt Romney windsurfing videos?

Will EllaLohan reveal more about how she knew what she knew when she knew it?

Will she leave the answer to that question posted on a video?

We will probably never know the answers or the identity of the mysterious EllaLohan.

And that's probably just the way she'd want it.


Vicki Iseman Alcalde & Fay website bio and picture update:
The information on lobby firm, Alcalde & Fay's website about partner, Vicki Iseman, has now reappeared.

The information disappeared from the A&F site shortly after the New York Times story appeared on the Times website. Numerous sites had screenshots of the bio and picture of Iseman, however.

Another mysterious occurrence.
