I think his real name was Mark Felt or Felts. Few Americans have betrayed their high office as casually as he did with such malice. His malice was only overshadowed by cowardice. I don't know about all those distinctions between 'journalists' and those who write about news but I do take considerable resentment when story makers are able to hide their sources by dubious standards. As it is, I don't think anyone is well advised to confer any measure of integrity on those in media or so-called journalism. The days of journalistic integrity are gone. When someone tells me they are or want to be a journalist I want to be away from them, they seem dirty, of unclean values. O'Keefe still has a learning curve, here's hoping that he also has some pragmatic mentors to keep him from burning the bridges to get back home. You gotta love a young bull though!! Go get 'em O'Keefe!

He's a marked guy and very clearly and enemy of the libs. Just look what they did to Joe the Plumber in Ohio. All he did was disagree with Obama and the next thing you know the power of Ohio was trying to savage him like a criminal. And the media seized on every deprecating innuendo they could glean. O'Keefe has put the HURTS on ACORN and now the Census. That story on Landrieu was as empty as empty gets, entirely trumped up but a valuable learning experience for him. The next time, if he fumbles, will not be so easy.

SEIU goombahs would have picked up on O'Keefe like he was a foreign alien, instantly. What is completely incredibile is that he was able to get into their space using his real name. It just shows how well the liberal media suppressed the ACORN stories, the Census libs probably never even heard his name before. But, this story occurs in New Jersey, I think. Everything is possible in New Jersey, even their spectacular new governor. Governer Christie should offer O'Keefe a commendation!

They may have conributed to the ruse, whatever it takes to protect their Kenyan. I don't think the story is over with for Sestak but November is coming, Sestak is going and so are whole bunch of other low-life-lifers and lying SOB's like that Marine Corps imposter from Connecticut. Sheesh, you KNOW times are bad when an illegal alien is in the White House and Bill Clinton is working for him.

Are they still stuck on stupid? Impeachment, how I have come to enjoy the term, savor the thought of Obama's castigation, excoriation, defrocking and lengthy incarceration. But more lustily do I covet the collateral damage to his co-conspirators and enablers, those who have made corruption ordinary, predictable and 'the way' of this administration. There is a federal gallows in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. It appears to be in good condition, servicable and will make a fine model for installation in the Rotunda.

He truly has blessed me, I make it a point to thank Him for that too. Obama wouldn't know who He is.

I think we probably agree that there weren't any substantive facts to the case. My guess is that the fellows could have gotten access to Landrieu's office by conventional means instead of using a false pretense. The pretense scarcely presents an issue but the intent to deceive might be construed otherwise. These boys were not Cuban burglars, and Landrieu's office is not the Watergate.

Not to worry, augie3 will find his place in life while Okeefe shines the light on low life scoundrels. Maybe Jimmy Carter will let augie3 look at his hammer collection before it becomes a national monument.

You gotta be the only fag out there who watches PBS shows, thinking that Norm is like you. It's a Yankee thing, just give Barney a call and he'll give you a 'hand.'

I was responding to some negative doof who was ragging on Okeefe. Since they changed the login/registration thing, posts are not working as accurately as they had been. I intended to respond to augie3.

It helps to remember that he is still learning and not beaten down by he system. The "reduced" charges were an accommodation for one of the other fellows whose father is a prominent federal attorney in Louisiana. If it had been Okeefe, operating alone, he'd likely have been sent to Angola for the crime of having impure thoughts.

I think he is an ambitious and capable young man. Mistakes happen, he is properly advised by the federal building mishap. The fat girl from Louisiana would have castrated him, if she could have. If she or her office had answered their telephones instead of hiding and avoiding the contempt and anger at her 'Louisiana Purchase' scam, Okeefe would not have gone there to see what was wrong with her telephones.

It would be such a fine and useful service for Okeefe and a win-win situation for Louisiana and him. And what a fine manner of hubris for AP, the MSM, SEIU and the collapsing empire of Wade Rathke and co-conspirators!

I recommend that Mr. Okeefe fulfill his public service obligation by working in the Attorney General of Louisiana's office, assisting AG Buddy Caldwell in his prosecution of ACORN, directors and principals for their embezzlements, tax frauds and illegal use of federal funds.

Mr. Okeefe is a fine representative of his generation and would prove a very competent and enthusiastic assistant and participant in the AG's indictments and prosecutions of ACORN and its myriad entities. How about it Mr. Caldwell? May this disproportionate punishment become a win-win outcome for Louisiana and Okeefe! And thank you James Okeefe for your service to our country in ferreting out the corruption and crimes of ACORN and subsidiaries.

If Blumenthal is associated with a notorious criminal, who was an essential organizer of his photo event, one might wonder what shape their financial information and compliance is in. My experience with VFW's is that they are run by a very closed inner circle and often work in collusion to conceal financial matters. Would the AG of Connecticut be so closely aligned with a non compliant organization? You know how one little lie begets another, and so on.

Sheesh, I ran an ambulance out of Walter Reed in the late '70s and came to know the metro area VERY well, every alley, every alternate routing and all of those nondescript little side streets that most folks will never hear of. It is easy to cross between Md and DC but there is seldom any doubt about when are where you crossed. My guess is that the DC cops were hired as escorts specifically because they knew the best route to go to the intended victims home address--not to mention that it was a Sunday and there was some overtime involved.

Kaine, despite being a stingy democrat and product of federal largesse is still an American. I would not say as much of Obama or most of his inner circle. For a POTUS to skip Arlington on Memorial Day will memorialize his core values for even the scourge of the welfare plantation. For now, it appears that Sestak has "insurance" with a cash surrender value.
