In the clip I saw, the ACORN sleaze offers to help them smuggle underage girls over the border...and then solicits Hannah for her 'services'!
ABC, which had earlier dismissed this story as 'noise' finally started reporting on it. Obama spokeshole Robert Gibbs seems to have finally heard about the story:
"Obviously the conduct you see on those tapes is completely unacceptable," Gibbs said, raising the issue of videotapes posted online by BigGovernment.com and aired frequently by Fox News Channel that seem to show ACORN employees advising a faux prostitute and faux pimp on how to skirt housing and tax laws. "The administration takes accountability extremely seriously."
Gibbs said the Census Bureau decided that ACORN could not assist the group in meeting "the bureau's goal of achieving a fair and accurate count in 2010" and that some other agencies are evaluating their relationship with the group. "We constantly evaluate to ensure that any grantee is living up to what has to happen in order to fulfill that grant application."
He pointed out that "previous administrations" had awarded grants to ACORN either through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Yeah, It's All-Bush's-Fault. Any day now I expect it to be made compulsory White House attire for the entire administration, including the president to wear a sign around their necks with those words on it. No sense taking a risk of any of these people forgetting to include those all important lines on every occasion.
Jake Tapper is one of the handful of dinosaur media reporters left who is worth more than a cupful of warm spit, and it must have really burned him to have orders from the ABC brass to to hold off on this story until now.
Meanwhile, over at CNN, ACORN Director Bertha Lewis went to cry on that foul little weasel Wolfie Blitzer's shoulder on his 'Situation Room' show, saying that ACORN should be allowed to 'just fix ourselves':
"I will clean this house. It is being done now. And I -- and here's what I would like. I'll come back in three months and you can look at what we've done."
Apparently she's dropped her threats to sue FOX and the Dynamic Duo.
Uh-huh. Give us three months to let this all blow over so we can go back to doing what we do best...scamming taxpayer dollars out of the government.
And it's not just the government. Only 40% comes from the feds, while 60% comes from corporate shakedowns..like from JP Morgan, who's also now under pressure to turn off ACORN's cash spigot:
Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is holding the line on any House cutoff of ACORN funds while Obama has yet to address the matter.
The strategy is delay and deny while they conduct their own internal 'housecleaning ' which will give thewm a chance to hide things. And because if a vote came up in the House now to cut their funds a lot of Democrats would be forced to vote for it, it would likely pass and ACORN's old Community Organizer Obama, would have to sign the bill into law.
Remember Alinksy's rules - freeze the target, personalize it, keep the pressure up.
