Nelson Lewis, former producer of “The Laura Ingraham Show” who was recently arrested for impersonating both Georgia Republican Jack Kingston and former Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis is now in treatment for his pathological lying problem.

Lewis, who Page Six calls DC’s “Talented Mr. Ripley,” admitted to setting up a fake email account in Ken Lewis’ name:
