I'm a professional infiltrator.

In this ongoing ZUG series where I infiltrate various online forums, I thought I'd infiltrate an AOL chat room centered on Republican politics and specifically Sarah Palin's bombshell announcement that she was stepping down as Governor of Alaska. Posing as right-wing "Harmonetta," I had a heck of a time arguing with some liberals who infiltrated the chat room while I was trying to rally my right-wing brothers.



This is who I pictured in the chat room.

You have just entered room "Politics - Republicans 9"

You need to infiltrate a heavy metal chatroom and argue that linkin park are the heaviest most brutal and best metal band ever in the history of music..
(And not at all a boyband with guitars)

What amuses me about this is that you couldn't say anything crazier than the "real" posters without being obvious and blowing your cover.

I finally figured out what it is about Sarah Palin that creeps me out. She reminds me of a praying mantis and I think she would bite my head off after sex.
