When the ACORN scandal broke, the New York Times dragged its feet for six days before issuing a story on the devastating footage from conservative activist and guerilla film-maker James O'Keefe, who caught on video the left-wing housing group giving advice to a "prostitute" and "pimp" on how to shelter illegal income from taxes.

I expected no less
Mary could come off looking very bad here.
I totally agree!
I suspect the charges will be dismissed shortly. It’s been fun watching the Lefties go nuts over this story. It’s so sickeningly hypocritical. After all it is the left that lionizes the ambush interview, the staple of 60 minutes. It’s the left that holds up ‘investigative reporters’ as holymen, everyone from the Popes Woodward and Bernstien to ArchBishop Geraldo.
It’s “speaking truth to power” when it’s a left exposing some corporate wrong doing or corruption. But when the exact same methods and tools are used against them it’s ‘fascism’ ‘totalitarian’ and ‘illegal’.
The left has no sense of shame or irony. I’m looking forward to this case going forward. I supsect that the Senator is not.
Updates on O’keefe.
Charles Gibson “ Never heard of it”
Clinton “ The buck never got here”
MSM “O’Keefe who??”
“I’m looking forward to this case going forward. I supsect that the Senator is not.”

Also, Obama’s bitch-slapping of SCOTUS was a none-too-bright move either ;-)
They whore for one group...
