ACORNmania!

What's gotten into CNN this week?  First they out Barry O as a William Ayers disciple, and now they blow the whistle on his long, close, and ongoing alliance with ACORN:

Y'know, it's a pity that nobody watches that journalistic honey bucket, or this sudden eruption of professional objectivity and integrity might actually make some kind of difference in the campaign.  Either that, or Drew Griffin and Campbell Brown are convinced "Democrat Jesus" has the election in the bag and feel free to stop covering his worthless ass on this stuff.

Elsewhere in Cablenewsland, Fox brought us the not-overly-useful revelation that when one of their anchors abdicates control over a crossfire-type interview, John Fund doesn't have the cajones to set aside composure and civility and tell the filibustering left-wing election stealers he's been excoriating in print for the last several years to shut the f up:

Ace thinks this segment was a net-plus for the GOP by showing what arrogant assholes these lefties be when they start celebrating victories they haven't technically won yet.  But you know my theory on how jerks come off as jerks at first, but eventually the pathos of their stubbornly passive victims breeds the audience's contempt.  It's the same dynamic that has McCain rallies booing their main event speaker for demanding their "civility and respect" for the dickwad who has smeared him at least half a dozen times as a racist and attacked righties such as Stan Kurtz and David Fredosso as "extremists" and "hate-mongers" and gotten them shouted down in media appearances even worse than Fund was.  But have no fear, my friends, for Fox, suddenly mass-hypnotised into believing they're CNN, also brings us ACORN's profuse reassurances that they're totally and completely "non-partisan".

At least to the degree that Terry Bradshaw - or GOP Congressman Thad McCotter - has hair:

And, still my palpitating heart, could ACORNgate be the Great Equalizer that the Right, if not Team Sith, has been frantically praying for?

Nah, probably not.  But hey, the McCainiacs have put out an ad about it, for whatever that's worth:

'course, this is a web video, not a TV ad.  And it's still using the "blind ambition" tag line, which lets B.O. off the hook for knowingly linking himself to ACORN as he did to the communist terrorist Bill Ayers.  Which means that the Republican presidential nominee is officially being softer on Barack Hoover Obama on this, one of his greatest political liabilities as conceded by his own attempts to cover it up, than Cable F'ing News Network.

Shucks, maybe this is better off not on the tube.
