Bad-Planninggate

Two things popped into my head when I saw that James O’Keefe–the guy responsible for filming and, apparently, heavily editing the ACORN videos last year–and three other people had been arrested for messing around with Senator Mary Landrieu’s office telephones in New Orleans.

The first was that I will be very interested to see what happens when this investigation gets going.  It’s the same thing I said when the ACORN videos came out, so it seems that this O’Keefe character just pulls stunts that require significant amounts of time to be resolved.  The accusation in the nola.com article that they had “a listening device in a car blocks from the senator’s offices,” is interesting, but seeing as how I haven’t been able to confirm it with any other newspaper, I have to call it unsubstantiated for now.

The second was simply the phrase, “That’s cute.  He’s like a little G. Gordon Liddy.”  Just my bias, I guess.
