the only thing he has done right since winning his seat in 2008.

2. Funny because none of these Repblicans can be found for comments now

They were sooo opinionated when ACORN was in the crosshairs, what happened guys, cat got your tongues?

3. If Michelle Bachmann could write, she surely would have signed on.

8. Pelosi should schedule a vote on this resolution to force their scummy hands

9. Calm down, folks! This is in reference to O'Keefe's ACORN "investigations."

...date 10/07/09

As Dave Weigel notes, "O'Keefe had become a conservative media star since the ACORN sting." Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) even introduced a resolution praising O'Keefe and his partner, would-be prostitute Hannah Giles, for "their diligent investigative journalism." In a statement announcing the resolution, Olson said, "Hannah and James should be applauded for their efforts to root out corruption and abuse of federal tax dollars." He also claimed O'Keefe was "setting an example for concerned citizens across America."
