Flier Spotted in DC: "BEWARE" of Montgomery McFate

| Wed Aug. 13, 2008 1:11 PM PDT

The Washington City Paper reports that fliers have begun cropping up in northwest DC warning locals to "BEWARE!" of Montgomery McFate, the daughter-in-law of Mary Lou Sapone, the gun lobby spy who infiltrated the gun control movement. As we reported in late July, McFate, an anthropologist who currently serves as a senior social science adviser to the military's Human Terrain program, once played a part in her mother-in-law's intelligence gathering business. So did her husband, Sean McFate, who until recently served as a program director at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington think tank.

The City Paper snapped a pic of the flier, which, coincidentally (or, perhaps, not), was spotted in Adams Morgan, around the corner from where Sean and Montgomery McFate reside.

Did MoJo have their own printer do these fliers, or did you guys have a junior clerk send a janitor over to Kinkos to have them done, and pay his kids to spread them around a certain neighborhood, so you'd have 'plausible deniability'?

Cheer up: As someone courting fame, McFate should be wise enough, smart enough, and slick enough to realize that there is no such thing as bad publicity. I would not be surprised if she posted this herself (coincidentally close to where she lives), if she has enough of a sense of humour. It's a good way to bring any negative gossip from the neighbours out into the open, which then allows her to deal with it.

hahahaha. Montgomery Mcfate, aka, Mitzy Carlough, the punk rocker from SF who ditched her old life for a a brand spanking new identity. Last time I heard, she was snorting herion on the weekends while going to law school. Now she's all high and mighty, and a product of good schools. Isn't America a wonderful place?

Back from the afterlife after 21 years just to "out" Montgomery/Mitzi? Overdose heaven must be getting boring.

HEY McFake....there is more than one spy in the HTS program. Wait and see. HA!

May you, Steve Fondacaro and BAE Systems rot in hell. As well as your husband and his so-called mother. McFake even looks like her mother-in-law...how creepy is that!
