Who does Lloyd Grove think is behind MWO?

Reader M.S. sent me this from his recent online chat:


Lloyd Grove: Good morning, everyone. How come this short week has gone on so long? I am ready to relax this weekend, for sure. So, it seems, is that left wing Web site that last week was inciting an e-mail campaign against me for that "tell-all Washington memoirist David Brock in Sibley psychiatric ward" item. The e-mails seem to be fizzling out and I haven't noticed any new diatribes on the site, like the one comparing Brock to a courageous Soviet dissident and me to a Stalinist thug. Maybe the author of these learned pensees received a chilling phone call from his book publisher about the catastrophic consequences of yet another missed deadline. Anyhow, let's meet OUR deadlines right now.




If this isn't a throwaway comment then Grove believes those behind the site are under pressure for a book deadline. Anyone wanna guess who he's referring to? I vote Bob Somerby. But why would Somerby run his own site under his name and MWO under a pseudonym?

Anyone have other guesses who he means?
