GOP Poster Boy Is Grounded And Can’t Come Out And Play


Pimp-faced dork and contributing factor in why Andrew Breitbart’s heart exploded like a rear-ended Pinto, James O’Keefe, was supposed to go to Tampa this week to get some kind of award given by some kind of organization that supposedly does something or other, probably about socialism, yeah let’s say socialism. Anyway O’Keefe will now not be going to Tampa because Barack Nobama is personally making sure O’Keefe is grounded and must stay in his bedroom at his parents house while everyone else is out having fun with hookers and strippers:

Conservative provocateur James O’Keefe is skipping the Republican National Convention, where he was scheduled to host a lunch on Tuesday. According to host organization James Madison Institute’s website, O’Keefe “will not be able to personally attend,” citing “government restrictions.”

“Come hear why the federal government has revoked permission for him to travel to Tampa,” an update on the website reads. “Despite the government’s restrictions, not all is lost for this citizen journalist in the age of new media.” O’Keefe will be communicating with luncheon guests via Skype.


In protest, O’Keefe has changed the scrawled sign on his bedroom door from ‘ ☠ ☠ My Sexy Palace Of Sexy Delites. Keep Out!! ☠ ☠ !! ‘ to ‘Camp Gitmo, New Jersey’.

dearest all mighty dog
teach us how to be like you
with your unchanging compassion
and loyalty, your patient
ability to recognize bad people
and all knowing when to bite them.

Leaving the State is usually not a big deal. You just have to give very specific details as to where you are going and why. Unless you have not been doing well with the conditions of your probation. Any violations of the probation could cause them to restrict this kind of travel.
Is he on federal probation? If so the rules really change. Federal probation is much more strict than most States.
