Everything you needed to know about the unorthodox roll out of the now-notorious ACORN sting videos was hidden in plain sight in my Sept. 7 column, “Katie Couric, Look in the Mirror.” ACORN was not the only target of those videos; so were Katie, Brian, Charlie and every other mainstream media pooh-bah.
They were not going to report this blockbuster unless they were forced to. And they were. What’s more, it ain’t over yet. Not every hint I dropped in that piece about what was to come has played itself out yet.Stay tuned.
When filmmaker and provocateur James O’Keefe came to my office to show me the video of him and his friend, Hannah Giles, going to the Baltimore offices of ACORN – the nation’s foremost “community organizers” – dressed as a pimp and a prostitute and asking for – and getting – help for various illegal activities, he sought my advice. In the past, Mr. O’Keefe created brilliant social satire that rocked his college campus and even made its way on to the talk-radio and cable-news shows, but the magnitude of his latest adventure had the potential to rock the political establishment.

Andy gives great big hint on the last sentence. I think he has a video of Hanna and James asking for a grant from NEA!!!
These two kids are amazing. There is hope for America!!! And it isn’t Obama!
beating them like a drum
BREITBART: Couric should look in mirror
Now that White House “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones has resigned, what’s next?
Inevitably, the American mainstream media - ABC, NBC, CBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, et al - must be held to account for sitting on the sidelines as this major story kept building without them, went viral on YouTube, and then became so large that a key appointee of President Obama was forced to step down.
But with their decision to ignore the Jones story, they may have actually done Mr. Obama far more harm than good: Who vetted this guy? How did he get past the FBI? What did he say, and how did he answer the infamous seven-page questionnaire that all Obama appointees were required to fill out? Inquiring Freedom of Information Act minds want to know.

The capper:
“At the very least, filmmaker James O’Keefe and actress Hannah Giles deserve a Pulitzer Prize for their expose of deep corruption and unspeakable immorality at the ACORN housing division. But more important, I won’t rest until they receive a grant to continue their partisan artistry from the National Endowment for the Arts.
That’s this week’s mission.”
Andrew’s been lowering the boom lately. Good job.
Now if we could only get Republican politicians fired up. We might be able to save this country yet!
LOL! I cannot wait until tomorrow! Breitbart, Hanna, and James are the best thing to happen to Journalism in a long time. They are shoving it in the faces of the ZERO media with the investigative journalism we are seeing.
Kudos to Andrew Breitbart for getting these great videos out before the media could kill them.
And, yes, the reference to the NEA award at the close is absolutely priceless.
Stay tuned.
is this going to be a WEE WEE MOMENT! for Obummer and Acorn?
Excellent work to all.
Jon Stewart - he comes through sometimes
Running rings around Bernstein and Woodward
drip, drip, drip...
"No wonder Jon Stewart delivered a stinging and hilarious rebuke of the real newspeople on his “Daily Show” parodies every night:
“Where were the real reporters on this story? … Where the hell were you?”
High praise to you, Mr. Stewart. It’s nice to see there’s someone out there in liberal media-land who would recognize there’s something terribly wrong on these videos.
And yes, there are more to come.
Don’t hold your breath - they’re a big part of the problem, too. Someone behind the screen has nailed most of their shoes to the floor. Sickening.
