Sounds like the only pimpin’ ACORN documentary maker O’Keefe will be doing is in a Federal prison (H/T- Helga)

Where are all the Republicants and FOX News correspondents now on how great this jackass is?

NEW ORLEANS â€” A hero of conservatives who bruised the liberal group ACORN by posing as a pimp on hidden camera is now accused in an attempt to tamper with phone lines at Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office inside a federal building.

I hope they throw the book at this dumbass and throw away the key. While I agree there was probably some corruption in ACORN, for the most part the organization helped to get people registered to the vote, and it’s sad that a few bad apples had to make the whole organization look bad. I only have one word for Mr. O’Keefe, Karma.

In aÂ report that was difficult for some to read, the New York Times yesterday told the story of how a little known South Dakota company and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety & Inspection Service since 2001 have worked together to allow bacteria-killing ammonia to be used as a “processing agent” to make a mash that is allowed to be used in hamburger without labeling or public warnings.

Doesn’t that slab of meat look tasty?

Ingesting ammonia could potentially be a bad thing. Â Millions around the nation who consume beef products from fast food outlets consume small amounts of ammonia daily and the New York Times recently reported thatÂ ammonia-treated beef is being served to schoolchildren around the country.

Beef Products, Inc., or BPI, has created a process of using ammonia to treat fatty slaughterhouse trimmings that previously could be used only for pet food or for making cooking oil so the trimmings can be sold as ground beef.

Through the BPI system of producing ground beef, bacteria-killing ammonia is used as a “processing agent” to make a mash that is allowed to be used in hamburger without public warnings.Â Ammonia is rationed as part of beef processing and therefore doesn’t have to be listed as an ingredient on labeling.Â But the amount of ammonia it takes to kill E. coli reportedly makes the beef taste and smell dreadful.

And this story made me want to go get a Big Mac Snack wrap right away;

Spokesmen for McDonald’s and Burger King told the Washington Post the fast food hamburger joints plan to keep using the “pink slime” sold by Dakota Dunes, SD-based Beef Products Inc.

I found this quote interesting;

“My stepdad Earl told me once, ‘Mike, be sure to leave things better than the way you found them,” an emotional Huether said.

So I ask the question, Mike, did you lever Premier Bankcard better then the way you found it? My guess is, you probably did. If there is one thing I agree with you is that you have been a very successful business man. But I also have to ask this question; when the new Federal laws kick in this summer and the possibility of FP tanking and laying people off, will you step up the plate and admit some of FP’s business practices were probably not so wise and modeled around taking a bunch of money in quick instead looking at the long term and building trustworthy client relationships. When you become mayor, the public must trust you. I’m just saying. If you are going to use your business experience resume as a reason to hire you as a mayor, don’t we have a right to question what you did as a business man?

Like I have told several people, Mike is my second choice for mayor, but he needs to come clean on what his role at FP was when it came to the practice of fee harvesting. This is not something he wants rearing it’s head on April 10.
