…James O’Keefe never actually wore his ridiculous pimp costume into those ACORN offices on those doctored and illegally recorded video tapes, right? But, rather, he was filmed outside of the offices wearing his get-up, while appearing as the conservatively dressed boyfriend of a hooker trying to escape an abusive pimp when the cameras were rolling inside the offices. That’s just one of many deceptions O’Keefe carried out.
Although Mr. O’Keefe appeared in all videos dressed as a pimp, in fact, when he appeared at each and every office, he was dressed like a college student – in slacks and a button down shirt.
Typical behavior by a crack conservative “investigative journalist”.

Aw, c’mon, Mario! These are just a bunch of kids! This is just a harmless school boy prank! You know what they say, don’cha? Boys will be boys!
No doubt about it. It’ll be amusing to watch the right wing media trying to spin this latest debacle. Yesterday O’Keefe was the newest Fascist poster boy. Today he is a man looking at some serious time in federal prison. The Republicans are once again experiencing the kind of OOPS moment for which they have become famous for in recent years. It really is quite touching when you think about it.
Is this merely the tip of a nasty iceberg? Will O’Keefe “cooperate” with federal investigators in order to reduce his sentence? Are there bigger fish that are due some serious frying?
My son wanted to check if he could swipe hockey laces at Sears-Roebuck to check their security system many years ago and he found out the hard way that he was going to prison for this misdemeanor.He was 15.After pleading with the authorities that a record in the police files would jeopardize his future,he got off with a warning and community work that Sears knew about.
However small,thievery is a crime and there is a price to pay somewhere
James O’Keefe is a crack investigative journalist, in the sense that he both portrays himself as an investigative journalist and uses crack.
