Well That Would Explain It: @MayorFenty Feed is a Fake?

2009_0831_fenty.jpg We've been giving the largely lame-o @MayorFenty Twitter feed a hard time for a couple of days now. This is after word of the presumed official mayoral feed first came out earlier in August. But now, weeks later, the Mayor's Office is saying that the @MayorFenty feed isn't actually theirs, City Desk reports.

So what took them so long to finally disavow it? And who on earth is behind it? It's too boring to be the work of someone looking to play an actual joke. (We hope). DCist, too, noticed the strange message attributing the Twitter page to lawyers at McKenna, Long & Aldridge (which has since been removed), but requests for further explanation from those attorneys went unanswered.

Who are you, @MayorFenty?
