It's On: Ex-Sixer Spars RNC over Book

Former Page Six writer Ian Spiegelman resurfaced in the news this week as Republicans attempted to discredit a book he co-wrote about the dirty tactics used to win a Senate seat.

The book, How to Rig an Election: Confessions of a Republican Operative, tells the story of how its other co-author, Allen Raymond, perpetrated a phone-jamming scheme that may have helped John Sununu edge out Jeanne Shaheen in the 2002 race.

Danny Diaz, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, which was implicated in the scandal, told McClatchy newspapers that "it would be hard to find two less credible individuals" than Raymond and Spiegelman.

Spiegelman, who's a pugnacious sort, didn't take kindly to that.

"In those rare moments when I wonder if I'm an honest person or not, I just think about all the moneyed old clowns who've called me a liar," he replied, via email.

"Danny Diaz now joins the putrefying ranks of Col Allen [the New York Post editor who fired Spiegelman], Howard Rubenstein [the Post's spokesman] and Marty Singer [the Hollywood attorney]. He questions my veracity, I question his
taste."
