ACORN 'gotcha' man arrested in attempt to tamper with Mary Landrieu's office phones

[Eilonnwy]

Apparently they're saying they never intended to do anything with the phones, but it was just supposed to be a publicity thing to "catch" them ignoring constituent phonecalls.

There was a big Tea Party protest and phone-in campaign and they suspected that they were ignoring calls or something. These bright young men decided to dress up like the phone company and film themselves going into the office on reports of phone problems and film the staffers dismissing them or something.

Instead, they did what most would do when a telephone repairman comes in and tells you your phones aren't working: ask them to fix it. And that's when it all went to shit, I suppose.

Stupid people.

I heard about that this morning, that the phones actually weren't working. The story just gets better and better.

Listen to this commentary, really good: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/vp/3...2335134855

I especially love the point that is made starting at 4:55
