Coffman Denies Scrubbing POTUS Bashing From Wikipedia

(No wonder he can’t find time to meet with the little people, he’s monitoring the tubz.   – promoted by ClubTwitty)

Congressman Mike Coffman just can’t catch a break.

In his latest embarrassing moment, Coffman denies he and his staff had anything to do with the scrubbing of his Wikipedia page to remove his recent comments undermining the legitimacy of the President of the United States. According to Buzzfeed, whoever scrubbed Coffman’s Wikipedia page used the official IP address for the US House of Representatives. As 9 News reports, Coffman offered a written statement saying:

“I’ve never touched my Wikipedia page, and I’ve never asked anyone to change anything on it.”

Coffman’s statement was a response to an article in Buzzfeed, titled “33 Embarrassing Congressional Edits To Members’ Wikipedia Pages”, wherein they accuse Tea Party Caucus member Mike Coffman of removing the links to articles referencing the debacle.

In 9 news report, Coffman’s election opponent, State Representative Joe Miklosi, had this to say:

“No matter how much he tries to scrub the truth off the Internet, he can’t hide his extreme record,” Miklosi said in a written statement Wednesday. “No amount of self-editing can hide the fact that Congressman Mike Coffman is Colorado’s own version of Rush Limbaugh.”

    1. I think you’ve got it backwards. Coffman’s staff would be the first to see this, not Coffman. They could have deleted it without even consulting with him. That might be tacky, but it’s not Coffman’s fault. I take him at his word.

      1. do you think he has an obligation to ask his staff if any staff member did it? Or can he hide in his self-imposed ignorance? Does he want to know the truth? Do you want to know the truth?

      2. “Yeah, I had my staff scrub it, just like I told the staff to tell the reporters the 1400 people outside my office in ’09 were anti-reform protesters instead of pro-health reform protesters (they lied), and just like I instructed them to take down the photos of me and Rick Standlof off my website. Also, just like I said Barack Obama is not an American. So?”

        At least then he’d be an honest Tea Party wingnut. (Gotta kindof hand it to Tancredo and Bruce — they may be crazy, but they don’t try to hide it).  

      3. President Nixon to his staffer Rose Marie Woods:

        “You mean you accidentally erased 18 1/2 minutes on the tape that implicates me in the coverup? Oh well, accidents do happen, but I didn’t have anything to do with it”

  1. got together and deleted each other’s idiotic bullshit from their Wikipedia pages so that when approached they could honestly say they never edited their own pages. Ta da!

  2. Okay, what dummies does he hire anyway. He should be out of office just for being dumb.

    If they had any, and this is just basic stuff, smarts, they would have known that you never use the server where you work to do stuff online (unless you are me – I am queen and do things like that). How hard is it to go to a coffee shop or somewhere with free Wi-Fi a block from the offices? (okay, that is what I do)

    Anyone with any Wiki smarts knows that the IP is always tracked with changes. You cannot hide crap.

    Mike is responsible and should be out of office for this and his idiot teabag thinking.
