A1 to A73 in 24 Hours: The Life and Death of 'Watergate Jr.' (James O'Keefe update from Breitbart)
BigGovernment.com ^ | 1/27/2010 | Andrew Breitbart

Posted on 01/28/2010 7:36:08 AM PST by SeattleBruce

For those in the mainstream media committed to report the false and libelous narrative of “Watergate Jr.,” “wiretapping” and “bugging,” I predict much egg on your J-school grad faces. In your rush to judgment to convict James O’Keefe and his companions, you vengeful political partisans of press forgot to ponder: “Was Mr. O’Keefe up to one of his patented and obvious clown nose-on hidden camera tricks, trying to make his subjects look foolish?” Blog commenters seem to be quicker on the uptake than six-figured Washington-based pundits these days. And I predict there will be tape to vindicate these four pranksters, too.

Even more so, my gut tells me MSM will have egg all over their elite faces.

Rush suggested a scenario similar to yours on his show a while ago.

The charges against O'Keefe and the others would be consistent with this, I think.

A guess. Maybe a phone and employee is being used for escort business, or some other funny business on taxpayers dime. During working ours. Or working for Acorn, while being paid by Fed Gov for other legit services.

Guy in the Van calls for service, or gets called. O’Keefe watches the phone ring. Then Video of woman showing up for service, or doing some other work for Acorn.

Or, maybe, a woman is seen entering to service someone after an out going call for service to the van ??? Maybe a guy for hire???

I suspect a third degree burn is coming. Someone in that office is in deep doo doo.

I am hopeful this has fresh legs, and James has a Landrieu office exposé to drop on FNC.

Yes, me too. He was taking pics with his wrist watch right?
I hope it was returned to him.

“focus on replacing the dems volunteer locally, make calls, put up signs, replace the dems...”

I totally agree. But ACORN/COI throws close races to the RATS and so this story is important, at the end of the day.

True that. I guess I was talking about the bigger picture of what O’Keefe n crew were trying to get at.

Meanwhile, our governor got stampeded into opening his mouth before his brain was engaged.

I like your theory and am hopeful that that, or something like it will hit soon. And Uberdoof, and Madcow and others will more permanently cement their place in the pastures of non-sequitor-ville.

Disappointing.

Jindal has joined the McCain party.

“If they were just doing some hidden camera shenanigans to goof on the people”

I don’t think they were trying to ‘goof’ people but to shine a light on the shameless RATS and their water carrying foolish shameful press lackies.

I hope O’Keefe pulled off something that makes a certain corrupt socialist Senator look like the crap sandwich she is.

I give your theory a B plus.

BTW, I’m getting an unusual number of hits on my blog concerning the article I published on Phonegate yesterday.

Inquiring minds WANT TO KNOW!

LOL. do any of the MSM fishwraps go beyond page “A8” now???

I’m definitely hoping/expecting that this turns out to be another O’Keefe sting against the sordid left

showing them wildly over-reacting in their partisan ways, discrediting the media (as though they can be discredited any further), and probably also drawing a spotlight onto Landrieu’s office in NOLA.... maybe for their connections to ACORN?

considering the elaborate and ingenious way in which O’Keefe got the ACORN scum disgracing themselves on camera over and over again, I strongly suspect that this episode is going to end up as a huge embarrassment for the libs

Yeah, because just showing that they are cheezing the public on answering the phone doesn’t seem like fishing with a big enough hook. Everybody knows they do that. There isn’t a big enough payoff. Your theory is more like it — somebody is going to get the burn. Punked!

It’s so funny. For all the complaining the WH and congress do about FNC, they can’t touch them because everybody in the country is watching them. They are starting to beat the pants off the networks because they are on in every waiting room in the country. If anything happened to FNC, Time Warner, Comcast, and the rest would go belly up... they are carrying them. The others are talking to no one but themselves.
