It’s not a good career move if he’s a Dem, is it now?

ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson blasted the video shot at the organization’s Brooklyn office, saying the group believes the voices of the couple were dubbed over to alter the conversation and make the interaction appear more objectionable than it may have been.

The two employees featured in the video have been suspended while ACORN works to reconstruct the exchange that was caught on film, Levenson said.

On the video, O’Keefe and Giles enter the ACORN office, and O’Keefe can be heard explaining “we have a unique life situation” and asking if they qualify for housing help.

In a meeting with an ACORN housing coordinator and office administrator, both women apparently urge the pair to lie about their ill-gotten gains, with the administrator saying “Honesty is not going to get the house. That’s why you’ve probably been denied.”

“Don’t say you’re a prostitute thing or whatever. … You have to sit back and think and find another name for it,” says the housing coordinator, who later urges Giles to put her cash in a tin and bury it in the backyard.

The undeclared cash could be given to an uninvolved friend who could then give the funds as a gift to O’Keefe, presumably to pay for the house, the housing coordinator tells the couple.

Charles J. Hynes is a lifer.

I seriously doubt that any career Dems will even acknowledge knowing the man who calls himself "Barack Obama" in a year.

Charles Hynes has been the Brooklyn D.A. since '89. It's his job for as long as he wants it and for a lib he's pretty stand up.
