I’m guessing here, but what the heck, we’re all guessing at the moment. I can picture a story pursuing the inability to get anybody to answer the phone in Landreu’s office. They then go to the office for the purpose of showing there’s nothing wrong with their phones.
That’s consistent with the description of the guy announcing he’s able to call out, and the other guy announcing he’s unable to call in. I think this is more about finding a cinematic way to make a point than it is about wiretapping. Nevertheless, it wasn’t well thought out.
The fact that the left believes as you cited, and thinks the public is ignorant enough to buy it says more about them and their audience than anything else.
The backside of this incident, and previous expose’ pieces by O’Keefe is the obvious over-reaction by the entire LSM, is they attach the signifigance of his notoriety to a story they never gave any signifigance to.
Now they have reported about a story that most dumbos in this country knew nothing or very little about and they will be curious enough to find out what the ACORN videos were all about. “Enquiring minds want to know” as they say in the tabloid business.
As one who has called my Senator’s office many, many times, and all one ever gets is a recording, I can see the possibility of them making a sting to prove the phones actually worked knowing full well they would be nabbed because some dimwhit in the office wasn’t able to understand they were there to make fun of them, not to do anything illegal.
So the paranoia trumps logic and they call their friends in the media and voila, the media is unwhittingly reporting the affair as BIG news and now the pimp tapes begin to roll again because they need background to explain who he is and why this is important. Right before Breitbart orchestrates another expose’.

Good thoughts, but that’s not INTENSE enough, and O’Keefe twittered that it’s about to get INTENSE.
