He could have high class clients like the governor. -_-
I think Spitzer would have been interested in his goods.  :cool:

I doubt it about Spitzer, but McGreevey might've been.

If anything, those ACORN employees should be convicted of criminal stupidity for believing that guy is a real "pimp". He looks exactly like a frat boy in a pimp costume.
Indeed.  No true pimp would be caught dead in a two-button suit.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Just goes to show you what change a few people with a mission and with a camera can bring.

I think the wise thing now would be to distance ourselves from Acorn until they clean up their act.

Winner of THE grumbler point.

The Senate votes 83-7 against giving ACORN funding.

This probably won't work; looks good on paper though, and helps I guess. ACORN works with many other groups and affiliates on all sorts of jobs. They don't just get direct funding from the Fed budget, but also get jobs and money from the hundreds of other groups they work with. Something like that, so it's hard to prevent them from getting funding. In fact, I'd think the only way they can remain in operation is through govt money, either direct or funneled to them from affiliates.
