Oh My God.

So I've been following, but haven't wanted to post, the videos made by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles that have been trickling out over the past few days. There are now at least three videos filmed at ACORN branches(the first in Washington DC, the second in New York, and the third, described below, in San Bernadino California) of which I'm aware in which O'Keefe and Giles, posing respectively as a pimp and a prostitute, sit down with ACORN staffers and receive advice on how to set up a prostitution business without getting caught. In these videos they not only are completely open about the business they propose to start, but also go to pains to point out that their intent is to smuggle in underage girls from other countries. In every instance, the ACORN staffers, rather than recoil in horror or threaten to call the police, willingly and enthusiastically advise the two undercover journalists on exactly how to go about engaging in human trafficking without getting caught.

Reaction to these videos thus far has been interesting. The Census Bureau announced almost immediately that they will no longer do business with ACORN. The Senate finally got around to voting to de-fund them yesterday. Interestingly, the mainstream media has universally decided to avoid this story, with Charlie Gibson today going so far as to suggest he'd never heard of any of this before today (His colleague at ABC, Jake Tapper, first reported on this story last Friday). As with the Van Jones story, my hat is off to Glenn Beck for dragging this story into the limelight. ACORN, for their part, has continued to posture sanctimonious (the have at least fired the staffers who appeared in the first two videos), claimed these were only isolated incidents, and has even gone so far as to threaten to sue the undercover reporters.

That's more or less where things stood until earlier today, when O'Keefe and Giles released a new video which will be all but impossible for the MSM to ignore. In this video, filmed at the San Bernadino ACORN chapter, Keefe and Giles more or less go through their same routine, only this time the staffer goes beyond just being helpful. Herself a former madam, the staffer not only lets the masquerade pimp and hooker in on the tips, and, if you will...tricks, of the trade, but also lets slip that she murdered her own husband after carefully and methodically plotting to make it look like self defense. Not only that, but the staffer threatens, on camera, to murder another individual to whom she had previously sent Keefe and Giles to receive further advice.

It would be suicide for the MSM not to get on the bandwagon at this point. Here's hoping they opt for suicide.

As with the other videos, I'm choosing not to post this latest one. But is so much more of a bombshell than even the previous two videos (I still can't believe that's possible), that i'll link it here. There are some gratuitous cheesecake shots of Giles decked out in her ho costume, caveat reader.

Your President's buddies, folks. Your President's buddies.
