Breitbart to have in-house reporter

Andrew Breitbart runs away from Jimmy O’Keefe, Cub Reporter:

James O’Keefe, hailed as a hero by the right for secretly videotaping ACORN workers, is among four men arrested by the FBI for a plot to tap the phones of Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu.

Quoth the Breitbart

“We have no knowledge about or connection to any alleged acts and events involving James O’Keefe at Senator Mary Landrieu’s office. We only just learned about the alleged incident this afternoon. We have no information other than what has been reported publicly by the press. Accordingly, we simply are not in a position to make any further comment.”

BogGov’s Publius adds:

In the past, Breitbart has said O’Keefe—now a paid contributor to biggovernment.com—is an independent contractor not an employee.

I’m not sure how this fits in with Breitbart’s Big master plan:

So while Big Journalism is the next “big” thing, it’s only one part of what Breitbart hopes will become a much larger empire. He plans, in the not-too-distant future, to unveil new sites as part of his “Big” network, including Big Education, Big Tolerance, Big Jerusalem, and Big Peace, among others.

Too bad Andrew didn’t register the domain name: Big Busted.

It’s probably taken.

Not that I would know or anything….
