Hey, Jimmy “da pimp” O’Keefe is a big GOP hero.

“who are these people” What do you mean by that? Looks like one guy whose one project worked out for him and now he’s gone off the deep end. Maybe. We don’t know the whole story about t he reporter. Was she making moves on him in order to get more for her story. You ignore that side of the story.

In the CNN piece one of the guy’s colleagues refers to CNN using “the inherent sexuality of these women…”, maybe that was their angle. CNN thinks sex sells, let’s show them sex sells. Granted it’s moronic AND the guy’s colleagues put an end to it. NOT CNN, not any legal stop but the guy’s own colleagues.

So.. who are these people?

O’Keefe’s plan is no scummier (still scummy) than a lot of things reporters do to get the story. He just got caught, and ya’ll are ignoring the equally scummy “alleged” actions of the female reporter. Is it because she works for CNN, the TV wing of the Democratic Party?

marky mark – Boudreau wrote about the episode on her CNN blog.

“Apparently, I represent all of the things this group hates about the mainstream media,” she wrote. “They feel because of the way I look that I do not matter, and that my reporting is a joke. They don’t know anything about my work ethic – my history – my dedication and commitment – and my love for reporting. They just saw my blonde hair. And the ironic thing is that I’m really a brunette.”

Which, IMO, was a lot nicer than saying “I wouldn’t do you if you had Bill Gate’s money”.

I have seen photos of O’Keefe and the photo of Boudreau, so some questions:
Why was Abbie Boudreau pursuing and interview with O’Keefe?
What was she willing to do in order to obtain the interview?
Does Boudreau have a reputation for being easy?
If not then, other than her willingness to do anything to get the interview with him, why would O’Keefe think he had a chance to seduce her?
Unless the video showed that Boudreau was willing to do most anything for the interview, how would the video hurt CNN rather than Okeefe?

Second, do you really think that there was ANY POSSIBILITY that this CNN reporter was naive enough to fall for something so sophomoric? Of Course NOT. Surely you don’t believe that James was that naive. This is undoubtedly the REAL punk. BUT, to be fair, I’ll ask a question: “Is there ANYONE who actually saw the paraphenalia in place IN THE BOAT, ON THE DAY in question? If not, that pretty much proves my point.

1. It would devalue the outstanding foreign debt we have (including what we owe the Chinese).
2. It would make U.S. goods cheaper in the international market, with the effect of increasing our exports.
3. We currently have businesses sitting on $2 Trillion. With no inflation, they can afford to let it sit in T-bills. Create inflation and they’re forced into spending it (which would start the economy moving).

md, it is probably a big mistake but I’ll actually respond to your question.

Because she is an investigative correspondent.

Her record stand on it own merits. She has received seven regional Emmys for investigative reporting, writing and enterprise journalism. She has been the correspondent for two documentaries, “Campus Rage” and “Joe Biden Revealed”. She also co-hosted a one-hour special called “Fall of the Fat Cats.” In a four-month investigation, she revealed how, over two years, FEMA had stored $85 million worth of new household supplies that were meant for Katrina victims, but ended up giving them away to various government agencies, such as prisons. The investigation, “Hurricane Giveaway”, prompted the return of many of those items to Louisiana, where victims still needed basic supplies. The series was nominated for a national Emmy award.

This year, she and Senior Investigative Producer Scott Zamost won a first place National Headliner Award for “Post Office Mansion,” which revealed how the U.S. Postal Service was losing millions by buying the expensive homes of relocating employees. She also won the Livingston Award for Young Journalists for the documentary “Killings At The Canal: The Army Tapes,” which aired in November 2009.

The guy would be hailed and exalted as as a hero by the liberal media if his focus was on a conservative media organization or its members. His biggest problem is is that he isn’t targeting conservatives and that he is targeting the leftist media outlets like CNN and socialist organizations like ACORN so therefore, the liberals are “outraged” by everything he does. I don’t agree with this type of gotcha crap from anybody but the hypocrisy of the liberals faux sanctimonious reaction at the gentleman is sickening. It would have all been ok if it the target would have been a reporter from FOX, wouldn’t it?

I admit, in this case he made a mistake on his target. Boudreau is one of the best things on CNN and she has done some excellent work and has done a lot of good. Nothing Jay says here exonerates the ACORN people and what was captured on that tape though that is exactly what he is trying to do. Anyone that has read the history of ACORN and its finances knows that it is (I and said “IS”, because it is many little ACORNs now with different names) a corrupt organization that has done way more wrong than it has done right. Billions of dollars have been waste because of that organization.

And oh, did anyone note that Andrew Stern, another big buddy and advisor of Obama, is now being investigated by the FBI for corruption in unions finances? That is the real story Jay should have been reporting on.

jm @ 4:23 – Whoa! I’m not advocating anything like Expropriate all capital from all rich people and redistribute it. But yes. I call them entrepreneurs, you call it intellectual capital, but it’s the same thing. It’s Steve Jobs creating the Ipad. True capitalism creates people like that constantly.

My comparison to you would be; who is a greater asset to the economy; a Steve Jobs (see above) or Paris Hilton? Ms Hilton is a billionairess. Certainly she’s got more money than “poor” Steve Jobs. But Steve is creating . . . jobs (the pun was completely unintentional). Ms Hilton snorts coke.

When all is said and done, and all the emotional stuff is over and history does its inspection of the Obama Presidency, it will go down as one of the most corrupt administrations in our nations history, and that is saying a lot. Obama’s selection of Holder as Attorney General will be worth chapters in the book.

Of course, who would have expected otherwise considering where Obama comes from and where his political views were formulated and nurtured? Afterall, he had a a communist/radical father and a socialist/radical mother and first and foremost, there is the Chicago political scene’s contribution which steared so much of his way of doing business. As for the arrogance and the sense of his own infalibility that he displays, even when all evidence points to that what he is doing is wrong and is contrary to what his nations people want him to do, that is all about him and his ego. And it will be his undoing. Obama cannot stand critism and he lashes out at anyone that dares to do it. Any leader without introspection is not a leader at all but a simple run-of-the-mill power hungry ego-maniac (these types make fine dictators, if there is such a thing) and Obama has no introspection at all. He simply cannot conceive that anything he does is wrong. And why should he after the idol worship that was the 2008 campaign?

We may be saying the pretty much the same thing. There are a few services that provide the source material, some who even take that and do a bit of gruntwork on their own to provide new information. But I don’t believe the newspapers and website verify the information provided by the wire services. My understanding is they take it as good.

It may seem like splitting hairs, but I’d say there are, for these national stories, a few ’sources’ then a lot of follow-up commentary. Rather like a medical journal publishing an article about a medical breakthrough, then a gazillion news outlets publishing it and offering bits of commentary that will be of interest to their readership.

I understand much original reporting has to do with local or regional topics.

You can pick your nose and you can pick your friends but you can’t pick your friend’s nose and you can’t wipe your friend under the table top. But then to get that one, you’d have to have a friend…

Headline: “Alien planet looks ‘just right’ for life”
“Astronomers say they have found the first planet beyond our solar system that could plausibly sustain life as we know it.”

Gee, I wonder if there are any Democrats there? Hopefully, they never evolved.

Nesweek Magazine (1/31/90)

About a year ago, Charlie Rose, the nighttime talk-show host, was interviewing Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, the military adviser at the White House coordinating efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. “We have never been beaten tactically in a fire fight in Afghanistan,” Lute said.

To even casual students of the Vietnam War, his statement has an eerie echo. One of the iconic exchanges of Vietnam came, some years after the war, between Col. Harry Summers, a military historian, and a counterpart in the North Vietnamese Army. As Summers recalled it, he said, “You never defeated us in the field.” To which the NVA officer replied: “That may be true. It is also irrelevant.”

Our military never was defeated. Our cowardly politicians gave it away.

You sure do pontificate high and mighty sometimes. I eschew labels, just as you don’t consider to be a repub. No matter, like I said if they win, the ball is in their court – they doesn’t give me any confidence in getting something done except maybe gridlock.

It’s so important for repubs to believe that they will be the victors come november. After eight years of bush, if the country wants to go back for more, we will get what we deserve…

Per your 6:53 posting, of course you don’t know what I am talking about because your specious talking points have no validity and you can not justify the lies you are telling yourself!

If there is question in your mind about anyone needing anything, you have a severe case of your ability to comprehend.

I don’t see it that way Mick – I see a country that prefers to stay in the middle while 2 parties continue to try to pull it one way or the other. The voters are trying to send a message to both parties – check your agenda at the door and compromise……….

You actually believe that repubs will compromise on anything while obama is president? Scorch earth policy is the repub strategy, example – demint. It’s not about the people, it’s the power stupid…

Dont’ forget, FYI, I dont click on links posted by folks like you. You’re not exactly the most trustworthy crowd, you know. If you have a point you’d like to make in your own words, feel free, but leave the cut and paste crap to the professionals (Jay).

Nice try RB. Suffice it to say your “moronic” post was exposed for what it is.
