Serial loser James O’Keefe has been busted being a sleazy, underhanded, dishonest, backstabbing plonker yet again. You may remember James O’Keefe. Then again, unless you follow American politics rather obsessively, you probably don’t.
He’s the guy who allegedly dressed up as a pimp and went into ACORN offices and asked them for legal advice in setting up a brothel. I say allegedly because more than one court of law found that his videos had been massively edited, he probably showed up dressed perfectly normally and added in the pimp costume, plus some of the dialogue, later. Nonetheless, it was enough to destroy ACORN and conservatives still talk about them as if they were the most evil organization ever.
Then, in January of this year, there was the Mary Landrieu affair, in which he and a couple of friends dressed up as telephone repairmen and showed up at Senator Landrieu’s office, trying to bug her phones. The whole disguise thing is a lot harder than it looks in the movies, apparently. Landrieu got suspicious, called the cops, and they were busted.
Being wealthy and well connected young Republicans, however, the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor and they were all released, with 3 years probation.
Today, however, O’Keefe fucked up again. CNN reporter Abbie Boudreau wanted to do a story on him, and he had a foolproof plan to turn the tables on her. It involved a borrowed boat, hidden cameras and microphones, dildoes, fuzzy handcuffs and a condom jar. Seriously. More dirty details can be found at http://www.wonkette.com among other places. I swear, I’m not making this shit up.
We can learn 3 things from this episode:
1. James O’Keefe perhaps has an exaggerated idea of
what he can get away with on a first date.
2. James O’Keefe is like the Lindsey Lohan of low-life political dirty tricks
3. James O’Keefe has a bit of a thing for women with hard to spell French sounding names.
