Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger apparently has been captivated by recent news stories about a conservative filmmaker who exposed misdeeds at ACORN, the national organization that serves low-income residents and has been involved in controversial efforts to register Democratic voters.
The Republican governor sent a brief memo Wednesday to Democratic Attorney General Jerry Brown asking him to investigate ACORN's activities in San Bernardino. Two conservative activists have posted videos of their visits to ACORN offices around the country in which they posed as a prostitute and a pimp seeking advice.
In San Bernardino's ACORN office, a volunteer who claims to be a former prostitute is shown offering advice to the two activists on how to set up a brothel using underage girls from El Salvador. She tells them that they would be breaking various laws, but also explains ways to get around those laws. At one point, she claims to have connections to various Democratic lawmakers in the state Legislature and Congress.
ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis said in statements over the last week that the organization had fired the workers shown in the videos and that their actions were "indefensible." But she also suggested that the filmmaker, James O'Keefe, had been turned away by other ACORN offices and that he continued targeting the organization until he obtained the responses that he wanted.
Schwarzenegger asked Brown to launch a "full investigation" into the activities in San Bernardino. His spokesman, Aaron McLear, said the governor wants to find out whether the organization has engaged in criminal activity.

Arnie getting wee wee’d up......
Schnitzelwagger is on the righ track here, however Jerry Brown is too worried and having a hissy fit about gay weddings
What’s this “asking” crap? Arnold needs to tell the AG to get off their fat ass and start investigating what’s been under their nose for years.
Jerry Brown is tied at the hip to the ACORN types.

Which will force him to defend why he won’t move...might make this interesting in more than one state...
Who’s all tied to this ridiculous org (besides bammy!)
Well, ACORN and the SEIU are two sides of the same coin. The SEIU donated buckets of cash to Pelosi.
The nyt has finally found the ACORN story.
I find this portion absolutely incredible, it reads...
“In a statement over the weekend, Bertha Lewis, the chief organizer for Acorn, said the bogus prostitute and pimp had spent months visiting numerous Acorn offices, including those in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia, before getting the responses they were looking for.”
These two went around various offices FOR MONTHS(?)and no one within ACORN sounded any warnings to the other offices that these two were on the prowl??? Is it just a normal, daily course of events at an ACORN office that you have these kinds of encounters??? What? No special deal, nothing to give any office a heads up, this is what we do, nothing to worry about... What a glorious “SNAFU”.

Their excuses and lies after the fact, are as bad or worse than their orginal actions! Pathetic!
Jerry Brown investigate ACORN? Is this a joke? Jerry Brown loves “community organizations,” and the wackier the more he loves them.
Schnitzelwagger... ROTFLMAO!
All wee wee'd up!
Arnold is a racist????
Tom Hayden available?
Yeah, I'm sure that "Moonbeam" Brown will get right on it.
HOT STOCK TIP-— Buy “PAPER SHREDDER COMPANIES” stock.
ACORN is buying 200,000,000 of them.
LOL. Jerry Brown is going to investigate the people he is bribing to vote for him for governor? This investigation will go nowhere, and Schwarzenegger knows it.
If ACORN can’t account for the money, it’s gets even worse.
Yeah! Old "Moonbeam Brown" will give that a lot of notice.
