Nussle's Wikipedia delete
I heard today on Iowa Public Radio about a story concerning political aides deleting unflattering information from their boss's Wikipedia pages. I caught the mention of Jim Nussle's name and also Tom Harkin. I did not catch what the Nussle story was, but I checked on-line news for more on the Nussle reference and saw this:

"Many other changes have been made anonymously, though they can be traced to a computer address associated with the House of Representatives.

House computers, for instance, were linked to changes that included dropping a reference to Iowa Republican Jim Nussle's divorce, removing unflattering articles about Covina Republican David Dreier's 2004 campaign and eliminating potentially libelous statements involving House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco. "

I checked Nussle's Wikipedia site and the divorce is again listed. It mentions his new wife and her old connections to lobbyists and the Newt, but there is no mention of any specifics on the divorce or special needs of the children.

Did anyone else hear this on the radio?
