... “I’m here for some vindication,” Mr. Breitbart said as he took to the lectern at Mr. Weiner’s own news conference ...

Mr. Breitbart, whose credibility was damaged by his release of a selectively edited tape of Shirley Sherrod, an Agriculture Department official, said he felt ABC News could help the Weiner story rise to something more than a scandal flamed by the conservative blogosphere. “One of the reasons I went to ABC, believe it or not, was to take this out of the partisan rancor realm,” he said in a phone interview ...

Mr. O’Keefe also came to Mr. Breitbart and BigGovernment.com after he filmed an undercover interaction with workers in Acorn, a community organization, as they appeared to advise him on how to avoid prosecution for a variety of unsavory activities, like child prostitution.

Recognition still proved hard to come by for Mr. Breitbart on Monday. Fox News was the only cable channel to carry extended footage of his remarks at the Weiner news conference. CNN and MSNBC played the video but talked over Mr. Breitbart.

At least he was deserving of it.
