One ethical sock puppet "Richard Windsor," the alias that Lisa Jackson used for non-public e-mails while leading the Environmental Protection Agency, has been much criticized by Republicans. But according to one conservative think tank, at least the fictional Windsor was a model employee. Jackson, who left the agency earlier this year, used an e-mail account associated with that pseudonym to take online training programs on subjects including ethics, whistleblowers and records preservation, according to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which has been critical of the agency. The CEI said Monday that it had obtained EPA records that covered certifications in 2010, 2011 and 2012 through a Freedom of Information Act request seeking evidence that Jackson was current on her training. Republicans have pounced on Jackson's use of the fake identity for her non-public e-mail account, saying that it might be part of an effort to skirt transparency and public records requirements. As to the origin of the alias, Richard was the name of Jackson's dog, and Windsor refers to East Windsor, N.J., where Jackson once lived. An EPA spokeswoman tells the Loop that it's been standard practice for years for the head of the agency to use a separate e-mail address for "internal business."
