"Videotaping our crime spree was the best idea we've ever had!"
Edited on Tue Jan-26-10 05:11 PM by ck4829
Oh. My. God.

This Watergate Wannabe scandal just gets funnier and funnier.

Just look at this.

"Filmmaker James O’Keefe was reportedly arrested with other individual in the Hale Boggs Federal Building in downtown New Orleans. Also arrested were Joseph Basel, 24, Stan Dai , 24, and Robert Flanagan, 24. Notably, Flanagan is the son of the Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana.

The men reportedly entered the federal building at 500 Poydras Street about 11 a.m. Monday, dressed as telephone company employees, wearing jeans, fluorescent green vests, tool belts, and hard hats. O’Keefe reportedly was videotaping the operation with his cellphone."

Breitbart on O'Keefe arrest: "I'm out of the loop on this."

January 26, 2010 4:30 pm ET by Karl Frisch


Andrew Breitbart, the man who first introduced the nation to James O'Keefe on his website BigGovernment, provided his initial reaction to Talking Points Memo on news that O'Keefe and three others were arrested by the FBI in an alleged "plot to wiretap" Sen. Mary Landrieu's office.

"I need to find information on this. I'm out of the loop on this. I will make my determination then on when to comment," Breitbart said.

11. Reminds me of those kids who drove around shooting car windows with a bb gun
The video they shot of the spree was used as evidence to convict them.

Durrrr... :freak:

13. Dicking around with video pranks is one thing
But messing with a Senator's office is a federal crime. I imagine that "filmmaker" James O'Keefe is about to get a little schooling on just how indulgent U.S. Attorneys are about that sort of thing.
