DescriptionTALLAHASSEE — Alex Sink on Tuesday confirmed that the campaign aide she fired after Monday night's gubernatorial debate was Brian May, who had sent a text message/e-mail to the Droid of Sink's makeup artist, who in turn shared it with the Democrat during the debate.

May is a Miami-Dade-based insurance lobbyist and onetime aide to Sen. Bill Nelson, when he was the state's insurance commissioner.

The incident had a double irony for Sink: 1) May signed the debate agreement that essentially outlawed the message-passing; 2) Sink has spent considerable time and political capital trying to make Republican opponent Rick Scott out to be the cheater due to the Medicare fraud in the past of his former company, Columbia/HCA.
