It's Hard Out Here For A (Fraudulent) Pimp
In The Cinema, the edit is a delicate dance. A nonlinear two-step with the time/space continuum, fueled by vision, culminating in self-revelation. "THAT," the editor says at last, "is what played out in my mind. Now my fever dream belongs to the world."
James O'Keefe and Andrew Breitbart are lousy human beings. Their misanthropic, race-baiting fantasies, when writ large on the screen, are an ugly mirror image of humanity's darkest side. Where some people might use the tools of the motion picture industry to create art, they use them to hurt the poor, minorities, and boons to society.
To sum up: The Jerks of the world have learned to use iMovie.*
So, what a rush. What a feeling. To see that James O'Keefe is begging for money.** It's sweet on so many levels. It suggests that while Tea Party-types embrace all sorts of incoherent political narratives, even they have some standards for basic competence. Often working in concert with Breitbart and this super-awesome moral genius, the cheap cons O'Keefe perpetrates are self-imploding--once someone learns you edit like the creepy, soulless, self-entitled fraud your work reveals you to be, credibility is out the window and you're cold-calling for cash.***
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
*NOTE TO JOHN AMATO: Hi, John! Just wanted to let you know that if, Huffpo-style, you feel the need to sanction me for these clearly ad hominem attacks, I do understand. Please know it's not just petty name-calling--it's from the bottom of my heart. I really, really think James O'Keefe and Andrew Breitbart are crap-ass examples of our species. Also: they suck eggs.
**Fifty-thousand per video? FIFTY-THOUSAND PER VIDEO? Have you SEEN his videos?
***Seriously. FIFTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS PER VID? For THAT? What's his biggest production expense, the drunken gibbon who holds the camera or the Klansman who does the edit? Whatevs, man.
Costume Pimp outfits for movie trailers are cheap, buddy!
And you know that how? ;)
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Do we really want to know that answer, Patricia?

cost like, $30. Which, while not extravagant, seems like a lot for fake purple felt.
The pockets were full of blow?

Why don't he just put his b*tches out on the street, nowhudImsayn? Far easier to grift the seniors who would otherwise be sending their money to PTL, I suppose.
It's getting to be quite the feeding frenzy between the Wasilla hillbilly, Newtie, and now Jimmy all after those Alzheimer's dollars. Should be fun to watch.

You are far more kind and eloquent than I.

... insulting innocent creatures: "...the drunken gibbon who holds the camera..."
Please don't insult gibbons! They are beautiful animals:

They are agile and swift, they sing songs to attract mates, and usually mate for life. I'm sure no self-respecting gibbon would ever work for James O'Keefe.
Another example of their innate intelligence and sensitivity, Kate!

I apologize to gibbons in general, the cute ones on youtube in particular.
"James O'Keefe and Andrew Breitbart are lousy human beings." They are also two of the biggest unethical assholes to come down the pike in quite awhile.
Loved your post. Well written with fire, and slings & arrows correctly targeted.
Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious. The dumb and ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them. The dumb and lazy ones I give mundane duties. The smart ambitious ones I put on my staff. The smart and lazy ones I make my commanders.
You're too kind, amigo.
Ah, the Karma Train, it's mighty slow at times, but moves, inexorably.......
Nicole, if you have to sit in the naughty chair for the words you used in this post I will keep you company because I feel exactly the same way about these two pieces of wasted human flesh as you do.
Colbert covered this in his own brilliant way day before yesterday. He probably is the only one who could make me laugh talking about this.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
But this is Andy Cobb's post.
I don't have a naughty chair. But I do pay my girls a quarter when I swear. When it fills up enough, we go get frozen yogurt. The girls like it when I watch Fox News because they know there's a Fro-Yo trip coming up for them. :)
my mom paid a dime in 1960s money.
:D
me-oww!
Nicole, we're sitting together. This Pissed Off Patricia doesn't seem to be one to be crossed.
The worst my Mom ever said was "damn" and even in the heat of anger she stopped to apologize for swearing. We weren't allowed to say "fart" or "bum" (it's "bottom"). And saying "pissed off" really p'ed her off.
far left loon >.<
Sorry about that Nicole, I had been reading one of your other posts and my mind stalled out on me while I was reading this article by Andy.
If I had to put a quarter in a jar every time I said something naughty I woudl be broke in a week. There are no children in my house and I think the cat thinks his name is Damn it Fred instead of just Fred.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

There is something problematic about this type of "political investigation" without regard to ideology. A critique from a conservative http://www.deliberatelyconsidered.com/2011/03...
How dare you, sir? I have a dog that sucks eggs; you go too far when elevate these @#$$% to his level!
...he thinks ACORN is an international conspiracy to oppress white people.
So, just saying.
O'Keefe needs to get a job and stop expecting others to give him money or expecting a government bail out.
Karma is a bitch - he's getting a dose of his own medicine.
Karma smiles at over reach, then reaches out herself to bite you. I love it! Karma is going to be very busy for the next two years:-)
Well, well, well, so Pimpy O'Queef cannot ride again because he has no money. BreitTard aren't you going to cough up some dough for your star journalist? Har Fucking Har Dee Har Fucking Har. You drunken piece of shit, closeted scat muncher. Maybe O'Queef can pay you back in butt dollars if you know what I mean and I know you know what I mean. Pathetic pieces of crap the both of you. Do us a favor and disappear.
!
this was a really poorly written post.
The cutesy use of asterisks was painful to read.
