As Dave Weigel notes, "O'Keefe had become a conservative media star since the ACORN sting." Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) even introduced a resolution praising O'Keefe and his partner, would-be prostitute Hannah Giles, for "their diligent investigative journalism." In a statement announcing the resolution, Olson said, "Hannah and James should be applauded for their efforts to root out corruption and abuse of federal tax dollars." He also claimed O'Keefe was "setting an example for concerned citizens across America."

...

The following 31 House Republicans cosponsored Olson's measure, which declared that O'Keefe was "owed a debt of gratitude by the people of the United States":

James O'Keefe Jumps The Shark A Second Time

The faux pimp who tricked ACORN, became a Fox News star and later got arrested for trying to play a prank on Sen. Mary Landrieu is still trying to get attention. This time James O'Keefe seems to have tried to lure a CNN reporter onto a boat to "seduce" her in front of hidden cameras. The story is so weird that you should read the full report from the reporter, Abbie Boudreau, here. Suffice it to say, the plans called for lube, condoms, dildos, pornography and candles. O'Keefe now says he never planned to follow through with it.

Maybe, O'Keefe can start a reality show with the Salahis. One that never airs.
