Andrew Breitbart of BigGovernment.com  has stopped being subtle about hinting he has another scoop on order for next week. It's apparently not another ACORN story. Patterico speculates about what it is . ...

P.S.: Breitbart's a friend of mine, though I have some fundamental disagreements with him. I'd like to think I'd like him even if he weren't the kind of guy whose good side you want to stay on--because you have a feeling you and everyone you know might be working for him one day. (He has lots of entrepreneurial energy.) But I didn't realize he'd have the course of events all planned out like Hari Seldon in Foundation . ...

P.P.S.: There have been some few-bad-apples, look-who's-acccusing  defenses of ACORN around the web . I dunno. ACORN has always seemed one big bad apple to me.**  Everything I've learned or read about them suggests they're not an outfit to be trusted--trusted with voter registration duties' for example. Does anyone think ACORN isn't out to register Dems and elect Dems (or people further to the left)? Would you trust them to deliver your elderly Republican grandmother's absentee ballot? ACORN also conspicuously organized to resist welfare reform after the big 1996 reform law was signed by President Clinton. I'm amazed that any national Democrat who claims to have learned any of the lessons of Clintonism, or even wants to be elected from a non-Berkeleyesque district, would have anything to do with them.
