Wow, pretty goddam stupid.

[Crazy Levi]

Pretty amusing. I wonder what the Fox News angle will be on this, since they made him their biggest idiot hero since "Joe the Plumber" several months back.

[VinnieKulick]

Wow, pretty goddam stupid.

This X 1,000,000

Mary Laundrieu? About as useless as tits on a bull.

Just to add to the idiocy, here's a few of the other offices housed in that particular federal building:

Federal Public Defender
United States Government Courts: Clerk's Office
US General Services Administration
US Pretrial Services
US Probation & Parole Office
US Secret Services

And it looks like my local Republican party needs a new keynote speaker for their annual Lincoln Day dinner.

"We're disappointed," he (SL County GOP Chairman Thomas Wright) said of O'Keefe's arrest on felony charges. "He doesn't necessarily represent the Republican Party."

Oh, obviously. That's why you booked him.

Can a resolution be withdrawn? 31 sponsers of a resolution in the House declaring that O'Keefe was "owed a debt of gratitude by the people of the United States"...heh...I'd love to hear them now.

Oooops...

I admit that I haven't been following politics all that closely for a while now - why would lawmakers think we owe him a "debt of gratitude"? For that ACORN expose that turned out to be a joke?

Uhhhhhhh, nothing about the Acorn expose was a joke. It is difficult to spin employees of an institution caught on camera advising people on how to circumvent the law. Just like it is hard to spin trying to gain access to a government building in order to commit a felony. Instead of downplaying one end of the spectrum because of your political affiliations maybe you should view each act based upon whether it is right or wrong.

[chickenona]

I wasn't trying to downplay anything. It was honestly my understanding that the ACORN thing turned out to be a prank. I apologize if that's not the case.

I didn't follow what ended up happening with that story. Was anyone charged with anything?

[chickenona]

Yes, the expose showing ACORN workers telling people how they could cheat on their taxes and federal loan applications. That one.

I was referring to the prostitution thing, the one relevant to the guy in THIS story.

Or were you talking about when the ACORN adviser tells the "whore" to bury her money in the yard?

[bane]

It's the same story Chicke. It wasn't a joke. I never heard about a prosecution but some people got fired over it. Sounds to me this kid let it go to his head.

[chickenona]

Yeah, I forgot the particular details of it so I watched the tapes again. The ACORN people do give them a lot of wackily illegal advice. That's why I'd assumed the whole thing was a prank, because I hadn't heard about any prosecutions and the whole thing was so over the top.

[chickenona]

Yeah, I got that after watching those tapes over again.
