Reforming ACORN’s redshirts would be like reforming Hitler’s brownshirts.

"That reviewer, to be named within 48 hours, will make recommendations directly to me and to the full ACORN Board."...

Well I, for one, am glad it is the full ACORN board. I would hate to think that they are not being held accountable. s/>

That is like Satan telling everyone that he’s suspending his mission while he investigates his mission.

All I can do is shake my head that there are millions of people who will actually think this is just great news!

Anything short of 100% suspension of every Fed dollar and a Federal investigation is laughable.

“The Advisory Council includes John Podesta, president of the liberal Center for American Progress; Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland; Andrew Stern, international president of Service Employees International Union; Henry Cisneros, a former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; John Banks, vice president of Government Relations Con Ed; and Eric Eve, senior vice president of Global Consumer Group, Community Relations, of Citigroup.”

Podesta and Stern from SEIU. They call this independent.

Have they changed Rule #47, Subsection 12, which encourages forcing 12 year old Ecuadorian girls into the forced sex trade.

-"As a result of the indefensible action of a handful of our employees,....

Yeah. Right. Where's the BUCK STOP? - not with you obviously. What. No managers getting fired? - Didn't think so.

Lotta honkies and FJBs on that board.

ACORN be flunkin’ the SWPL test bigtime, and Uncle Sugar may have to cut back on the green enzyme for a few weeks.

Xin loi, minoy.

LOL, oh yeah we can ‘trust’ ACORN for an investigation about as much as we can trust Pelosi to clean out the swamp of Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel, Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, John Conyers...

I s’pose if the barn is burning to the ground they won’t mind if the horse has already left.

BTW - this is tantamount to an admission of guilt vs. claiming it was all just video doctored by a couple of racists.

What would a criminologist call someone who denies, denies, denies - then when the evidence was irrefutable immediately promises “never to do it again” without missing a beat?
