Geez – I may have to take another hiatus – just woke up from a dream where I was attending a Congressional inquiry meeting, Tony Stark-style, except they were gonna take me out afterwards and shoot me.
A Steve-King-style wingnut was talking wingnut crap, and irritated me enough that I started riffing on him MST3K-style into my mike, and ended up unmasking him as an alien(a real extraterrestrial, not the kind Meg Whitman gets caught employing), yanking off the wig and sunshades on camera, and then vaporizing him with his own ray gun.
It got weird after that.
OK – you kind of know how the reactions in Freeperville were going to come down after “Fake Acorn pimp” got caught withhis wig and sunglasses off, but hey – knowing that Schwartzenegger/Stallone/Bruce Willis was going to win in the end never stopped me from going to a popcorn movie, so let’s suit up, enter the inner chamber, and yank the lids of a few barrels of Freeper Funnies!
I can almost picture the discussion in the Editorial inner sanctum over the wording of this headline (it changed several times over the course of the day)
Fake pimp from ACORN videos tries to ‘punk’ CNN correspondent
CNN ^ | Sept 29 2010 | Scott Zamost,

Lusby, Maryland (CNN) — A conservative activist known for making undercover videos plotted to embarrass a CNN correspondent by recording a meeting on hidden cameras aboard a floating “palace of pleasure” and making sexually suggestive comments, e-mails and a planning document show.
James O’Keefe, best known for hitting the community organizing group ACORN with an undercover video sting, hoped to get CNN Investigative Correspondent Abbie Boudreau onto a boat filled with sexually explicit props and then record the session, those documents show.
The plan apparently was thwarted after Boudreau was warned minutes before it was supposed to happen.
“I never intended to become part of the story,” Boudreau said. “But things suddenly took a very strange turn.”
O’Keefe is best known for making a series of undercover videos inside ACORN offices around the country in 2009. The 40-year-old liberal group was crippled by scandal after O’Keefe and fellow activist Hannah Giles allegedly solicited advice from ACORN workers on setting up a brothel and evading taxes.

Put aside your natural dislike of CNN … and read this story. It’s hilarious!
What’s really the best part is O’Keefe’s written plans for this “CNN Caper.” http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2010/09/specials/cnn.caper/index.html
I hope Breitbart isn’t paying this guy too much money. What a maroon! He must have had beginner’s luck with the ACORN catch.

Have you seen the outrageous 1970s SuperFly pimp and hooker outfits those two wore? He wasn’t lucky, the ACORN workers were just unusually clueless.

These yo-yos still think O’Queefe actualyl wore that stupid rig into the Acorn offices. P. T. Barnum was right.

I don’t think we need to insult a guy who almost single-handedly exposed one of the most vile, corrupt LeftWing government institutions in History…

So helping poor people register to vote now constitutes “vile”? I think the mocking has just begun, and I predict your rapid disappearance from this thread.

This guy has to give this stuff up. He’s making a fool of himself now.

I thought he was you guys’ knight in shining armour? And in case you didn’t notice it, he’s not just making a fool of himself. By proxy, he’s making a fool of every wingnut in Freeperville.
Next we have the deniers:

Don’t they have the whole thing on tape? And it’s still “allegedly.”
How many times was the word “allegedly” used in the “koran-in-the-toilet” story, or countless other media attack pieces targeted at conservatives?

This is an embarrassment to Conservative causes.
Is it possible that, all along, O’Keefe has beenattempting to embarrass conservatives?

OK – that’s too crazy forsome Freepers.
To: worst-case scenario
O’Keefe needs to take a step back and re-think his approach to this work. He chalked up a nice hit his first time out of the box, but it has been downhill ever since. If he wants to have a “career” (who knows what the media will look like 10 years from now) in this business, he should concentrate on finding real wrong-doing as opposed to trying to create it out of whole cloth.

No idea what these asshats at CNN are alleging … but it seems little weird that they would devote all this, air time and all the other resources to say that there was a “plot” to try to seduce a CNN reporter. Why? What would that have proved?
That wingnuts are stupid and blinded by their own ideology?
They are getting pretty desperate over at the Communist News Network.

“almost highhandedly” … if you include Breitbart, several skillful tape editors, and the entire FNC apparatus.
I wonder if Fox will cover this fiasco – and how they will explain it.
Hey, FOX – you used to have this nincompoop on fourteen times a day. Wha hoppen? How did he suddenly become an unperson?
Maybe O’Keefe should just do a reality show on MTV, one the follows him around while he works out these brilliant schemes. Call it “O’Keefer Madness.”
