CUFI Press Relations Contact in Rabbi Impersonation Scandal
The JTA tells us that an intern has confessed that he sent the comment from Engelmayer's apartment without his knowledge during a get-together; however, it also reports the president of 5WPR as saying that "A senior staff member failed to be transparent in dealing with client matters. He has taken full responsibility". Other fraudulent postings came from IPs belonging to 5WPR. The blog to which the comments were posted is Failed Messiah, which writes critically about ultra-Orthodox Judaism and the theocratic right in Israel.
The Jerusalem Post adds the detail that 5WPR's clients include McDonald's, pornographer Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild, Pastor John Hagee and a slew of right-wing Jewish organizations.Gawker has more fun with the story.
