Too bad the bill, as amended, hasn't passed yet.
Well - you're probably right about that. They'll just spend the money somewhere else. But at least it won't be going to ACORN.

Might be an indication of what they were used to seeing walk through there door over the years...besides all the scandal, corruption, and what not of this corporation, who in the is that stupid to believe this set up. a hooker and her john? wanting tax advice? 13 year old illegal alien pros utes being housed? didn't this guy mention he was going to run for some office? that's the main thing that gets me right, off the bat. if they came to my office, even if i worked for that corrupt organization, i would've laughed out of the damn office. plus she was dressed like a literal . sure, here's some free tax advice. oh and by the way join our beloved corporation.
I hope one is at the Chicago office...
I also wonder if the New York Times will be going "doh!" again...come Thursday...
Well - since Charlie Gibson didn't have a clue about this story, I won't hold my breath that any of the other major "news" outlets will cover it.
The NYT picked up the wire story yesterday.
Here is a NYT blog post on the story, today.
And here is a pissy Newsbusters story complaining that the NYT "still almost totally ignores" the story.
Well - the NYT piece is far more condemning of the people who made the video and almost seemed to defend ACORN. They haven't really seemed to grasp the real story.
The inclusion of ACORN's response for journalistic balance may have thrown you off here. It's a professional commonplace, but I understand it may not be too common in the sources you prefer.
Shouldn't David Vitter and other Republican Congressmen who've had affairs and solicitations with Pros utes have their funding (i.e. their jobs) stripped?
Just asking? What's fair is fair.

Talk to their cons uents.
Yes?
I saw an interesting analogy today...
And it’s not just three...This rule of thumb evolved after observing the failures of millions of computers. We learned that three separate computers would only suffer the same failure if the failure arose from a common source in the computers themselves. Just three machines out of millions told us we most likely had a systemic problem.
This brings me to the Acorn child pros ution scandal.
* One report from an Acorn office was a fluke. Any large organization, public or private of any creed can be infected by amoral individuals who will try to use the organization to commit illegal or unethical acts. No organization larger than a few dozen people can police the actions of every member, all the time.
* Two reports from two separate Acorn offices was just a disturbing coincidence. The same reasoning as above applies, because in a large organizations, just as in a large installed base of computers, it’s possible for two separate bad eggs carrying out the same acts to show up in the same organization.
* Three identical reports of the same failure from three separate offices indicates the criminality arises from the organization itself. It is highly unlikely that, out of the hundreds of Acorn offices around the nation, the journalist just happened to wander into the three offices whose managers wouldn’t blink an eye at helping to set up a brothel using children.
This degree of organizational systemic rot has to come from the head. I think that much is obvious. Something in Acorn’s organizational culture made these people feel that it was okay and expected for them to give the criminal advice that they did. Certainly, if Acorn had been a private for-profit company, three separate and wholly unrelated incidents would have been enough for leftists to demand the heads of the corporate officers.
ACORN Pros ution Scandal: California Here We Come!
You think these folks are ACORN cons uents?
ACORN has cons uents?
I missed this in video four - ACORN: San Bernadino Edition
That's from a Liberal. Nice to see our su ions confirmed every now and again.The ACORN employee they meet with is more than happy to help them obtain a house where underaged girls from Central America can turn tricks. She says she used to do the same herself; not only that, she murdered her husband. At one point, the ACORN employee describes bankers who didn't want to lend money to start a brothel right-wingers. "If they were liberal, they'd be helping you," she says.
Maybe the Acorn employees thought that it was a comedy skit ...
Seriously? Would you take this guy serious?
Nope but, then again, I'm not a liberal s bag.
He doesn't even seem to be embarrased to be ignorant of a scandal that resulted in one of the few bi-partisan votes in Congress this Session.
I wish I were unaware of it. It's a bunch of nonsense, of no real imporatance.
It's more important than Joe Wilson calling the president a liar.
Both are pretty trivial IMO.
ACORN is a nationwide scandal involving a national organization with and historical and long-term relationship with our president, that played a prominent role in his election, and which was set to play a prominent role in our next Census -- at the request of the same president.
Their scandals aren't confined to the Pimp-Ho, either. They're under investigation, in several states, for election law violations.
It's not trivial.
To you and a bunch of others caught in the right-wing media echo chamber, maybe not.
