Zack Exley
The 'Garbage man', Zack Exley

Previously, Zack Exley was Organizing Director at MoveOn.org. Prior to working for MoveOn, he was the creator of Internet parody webites, including the gwbush.com site and a cnndn.com, a financial parody site that was closed following a successful lawsuit by the CNN cable news network. He worked as a union organizer for five years around the Midwest and South in the mid 90's.

In February 2005, it was revealed that the British Labour party hired Exley, and:

Labour has hired an American spin doctor known as the "garbage man" for publishing pictures doctored to show George Bush taking cocaine. The party faces controversy over "dirty tricks" after it said Zack Exley, 35, is working full-time on its campaign.
He is notorious in Washington as an expert in the use of the internet to spread black propaganda. President Bush was moved to call him a "garbage man". Other stunts included fake photographs of Mr Bush smoking a joint and spoof articles by him.
