Because Journolist stole his emails, James O’Keefe will now not lose his virginity on camera because, you know, pics or it didn’t happen.
A conservative activist known for making undercover videos plotted to embarrass a CNN correspondent by recording a meeting on hidden cameras aboard a floating “palace of pleasure” and making sexually suggestive comments, e-mails and a planning document show.
James O’Keefe, best known for hitting the community organizing group ACORN with an undercover video sting, hoped to get CNN Investigative Correspondent Abbie Boudreau onto a boat filled with sexually explicit props and then record the session, those documents show.
[...]
O’Keefe called Boudreau on August 10. During the conversation, he said he preferred that Boudreau meet him in person in Maryland and asked that she come alone.
“I just want to talk,” O’Keefe told Boudreau on the phone. “I just want to have a, you know, meeting with you, and talk to you face to face about this. Because, I don’t, I feel sort of, let’s just say reserved about, about letting people into my sort of inner sanctum, about letting, letting people sort of take a glimpse into, into, behind the scenes, so that’s why you know, I just feel more comfortable if it was just me and you and we just had a face-to-face meeting before I agree to, to let you guys come out and shoot the video shoot out there.”
[...]
“Getting Closer,” the e-mail states. “Audio attached conversation with Abbie. What do you think of her reaction guys. She said she could do it Monday, Tuesday. Ben, you think I could get her on the boat?”
James O’Keefe has an “inner sanctum”. I think that is code for “I have a strap-on and I want you to use it on me.”

That video is a solid effort, but I think this one is a word for word script of the movie that plays in an endless loop in O’Keefe’s head.
NSFW!
If you substituted Breitbart and his minion into the video I believe it would serve as a powerful biography of their journey together.
I love his assumption that a pretty and powerful woman is so desperate for sex that she’s going to fall for a guy who’s dressed like a ’70s pimp. Austin Powers is a *joke*, man.
O’Keefe’s script that he planned to read prior to the footage of his ill-conceived “punking” attempt included this little gem:
“Instead, I’ve decided to have a little fun. Instead of giving her a serious interview, I’m going to punk CNN. Abbie has been trying to seduce me to use me, in order to spin a lie about me. So, I’m going to seduce her, on camera, to use her for a video. This bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who comes on at five will get a taste of her own medicine, she’ll get seduced on camera and you’ll get to see the awkwardness and the aftermath.”
A combination of projection and wishful thinking, I’d say. With a good dose of misogyny.

It really didn’t make sense
Just to leave this unresolved
It’s not hard to go the distance
when you finally get involved face to face
I’m convinced that O’Keefe is yet another closeted Republican, who used this plan as cover for buying the sex toys he really wanted, anyway!
Especially the industrial sized butt plugs.
“Markham said even though Santa’s duties were taken away from her, she is still on the Project Veritas payroll.”
So the good
guygal in all this gets fired, meanwhile needledick O’Keefe gets a boatload of free publicity. I assume he’s on Hannity tonight telling “his side of the story.”Asshat.
You’ve got to read the excerpts from the 13 page “plan.”. The douchiness is very strong in this one.
This amused me:
From his Wikipedia bio: When he was at Rutgers he evidently got Lucky Charms cereal banned from the campus dining halls because it was “offensive” to Irish-Americans.
Self-serving asshat indeed.
I don’t think that word means what he thinks it does.
You could practically see his jizz stains on the PDF. It’s part punk, part Penthouse Forum.
…executive director of Project Veritas, Izzy Santa…
I realize Ms. Santa blew up O’Keefe’s scheme and is to be congratulated, but still, great porn name!
My what great expectations this perv has. If only he resided in the real world.
In his world, that’s as good as “killed a man in Reno, just to watch him die….”
Would he, could he, on a boat?
Would he, could he, with a goat?
Gosh, it’s almost as if the guy was nothing but a lying, felonious scumbucket who was just out to destroy anyone to the left of John Boehner and didn’t care how many laws and rules of journalism he broke doing it.
But how could that be? He was a crusading truth-seeker. The whole liberal media said so.
P.S.: Countdown to the Swiftboating and Grame Frost-ing of Abbie Boudreau, particularly her sexual history, in 5 … 4 …
#14 on the last page is retch-inducing.
No shit. They’ll do their best to destroy her because she showed them for the jackasses they are.
In this film, O’Keefe plays the role of “chunky Reese Witherspoon”.
catamoran
I’m reading the operational plan CNN intercepted, and it contains the key to the failure of the operation:
6. Persona
James should have a more sleazy persona than normal,. . .
That couldn’t be done, so the operation had to be abandoned.
Seriously, though, this isn’t funny, as Media Matters points out:
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201009290021
O’Keefe was planning to sexually molest Ms. Boudreau. If he’d lured her onto the boat and confronted her with those things, it would have been seriously offensive and frightening. The lameness of his plan doesn’t detract from the moral offensiveness of it.
OTOH, kudos for correct capitalization and punctuation while typing one-handed.
Gross gross gross! He’s disgusting, and it’s disgusting that he’s a semi-celebrity. Yuck. And, disturbing mentality, too. Ick.
Yeah. I read some more, and all that’s missing is the goddamn Rohypnol. If that turns up, game over Jimmy you worthless sack of would-be rapist shit.
Oh, and guess what? Remember his little wiretap stunt? He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of entering a Federal office building under false pretenses and among other sanctions was sentenced to three years’ probation. Don’t activities of this sort revoke the probation?
I was thinking the same thing TBogg. O’Keefe probably spends a lot of time thinking about his “inner sanctum”. I crack up that he thought strawberries, champagne, his stellar looks and sparkling personality were going to “seduce” the reporter. I think all Republican males get stuck emotionally at age 14 when they faced their first rejection.
Meanwhile, Breitbart, the guy who made him, is throwing the little shut even further under the bus:
It’s not like this is the first attractive famous and accomplished executive he’s stalked. Remember his bugging Mary Landrieu’s office?
This wins a spew award ‘fer sher’.
My keyboards a mess, but in a satisfying way.
Is this from the Suess classic “Breitbart Blows.”?
nothing like a few dildos casually strewn about to turn the lady on.
… and, strangely, not a word about this story on AB’s website biggovernment.com.
Or FOX either, I’ll bet.
Run awaaaay! Run awaaaaay!
Let me get this straight. They thought this harebrained scheme was going to make CNN look bad?
This is what happens when you don’t face any real consequences for your fucked-up actions. If you or I wiretapped a Senator’s office, we’d be thrown into the deepest darkest hole they could find for us. But Jimmy Boy? Three years probation. No wonder why he thought he could pull this off.
Wait! When Jesus told Christine O’Donnell not to drop out of the Senate race, does Christine have Jesus on tape? Does that mean Jesus did not tell Christine O’Donnell to stay in the Senate race? Because I believe Jesus wants Christine to stay in the Senate race as much as I do.
This guy is headed for prison, and not because of this ‘stunt’. He’ll be arrested for rape or sexual assault one day, guaranteed. He actually thought that spreading around a bunch of sex toys and 7th-grade-imagining’s crap that he would seduce this woman. And, he’s seeking her humiliation through sex. It doesn’t take a degree in psychology to figure this creep out.
Plus the playing-dress up in what he thought a pimp looks like and, most assuredly, believing that it made him look attractive and sexually ‘dangerous’. He is one big sicko. If Fox News even attempts to defend this guy they are going to get a huge backlash. Women recognize this guy, and it ain’t good.
If they thought they could get enough footage to embarrass Boudreau, yes.
I’ve seen a couple of comments in which folks were saying that the plan might itself be a hoax intended to show that CNN assumes the worst about conservatives. But I don’t see how they’d pull that off.
Jeez, even Brent Bozell is piling on.
Do you mean to tell me that Attempted Rape/Attempted Assault at whatever degree isn’t prosecutable wherever the hell this idiot was creating the assault location? Ain’t nobody able to charge him with that?
Good god that document is something. Why do I get the image of the Dudley Moore character in “Foul Play” with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase?
I bet he didn’t have to modify his standard “seduction” plan that much for the dirty tricks version. Just add the stuff about politics and blackmail.
“So, I’m going to seduce her, on camera, to use her for a video.”
Sure you were…..perhaps this dickhead should have qualified that to reflect the outcome reality of his effort: “So, I’m going toattempt to seduce her, on camera, to use her for a video.”>
I look forward to Lady Blah Blah and the RW chorus’s defense of O’Keefe and the creative rationalizations that will be be floated to justify the indefensible.
How does CNN not bring charges against Project Veritas and O’Keefe? This isn’t a female sports reporter walking into an NFL lockerroom. This is conspiracy to commit sexual assault.
OH MY FREAKING GOD. This reads like something that some freshman would have cooked up for a skit on Pimps’n'Hos Night at my college. They cannot be serious with all the “slicked back hair and cigarettes” and “When you asked if it was a gag I thought you meant S&M” and “Not Marvin Gaye, it’s too obvious!” Has any one of these people EVER had sex with anything other than a blow-up Bristol Palin doll?
Hmmm. I had no intention of clickinng the link to the “plan” – but you have finally
aroused, er,triggered, er, um, made me curious enough to check it out. bbl.Well, p.3 wouldn’t load for me, but I got enough of the gist.
These nutsos really thought James O’Keefe would be attractive enough to that woman to seduce her? And that he would be more attractive with, (yuck) slicked back hair, exposed chest (!!double yuck) and gold chains???????
This guy is more delusional than I thought. Somehow, I’d have thought his horrendous failure at “punking” Landrieu (who is not my favorite bluedog!) might have taught him that, oh, I dunno — he’s not very good at this kind of thing????
I think all Republican males get stuck emotionally at age 14 when they faced their first rejection.
…and find solace in their first reading of Atlas Shrugged, which confirms their secret fantasy of themselves as one of the elect.
And of course, no credit to Don Henley for writing the only memorable phrase in the whole thing (“bubble-headed-bleach-blonde”). After all, rightwingers are the only moral side of the great debate between real, normal Amurkans and us DFHs.
Just watched the video and saw the *boat*. Looks like a 28 foot day sailor with a cuddy cabin and a 5 gallon bucket for a toilet.
Holy shit, these guys are sophisticated.
Jump the shark? Not so much.
Looks like “independent film-maker” James O’Queef just joined the “Deserves a kick in the balls” club.
The hubris on display here is mind boggling. That noxious, slimy ogre couldn’t get laid in a brothel.
That must be the “B” ship.
Methinks he’ll get off.
He’ll settle down when he comes out of the closet. Maybe he should go on one of those log cabin republican cruises.
DING DING DING! We have a winner!
Slightly OT, because about a real journalist, Ken Silverstein saying goodbye at Harper’s (link at http://harpers.org/archive/2010/09/hbc-90007662:
When you can read an entire column by the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz and never once feel the urge to cut out your own heart with a dull knife, you know that you no longer have the sense of outrage that is essential to reporting from our nation’s capital.
Hey, no fair picking on Rush. He’s very proud of his Bristol Palin blow-up doll impression AND all the extra action tides him over between excursions to “little brown pool boy heaven”, aka, the Dominican Republic.
Inquiring minds want to know:
Hannah Giles, you young, tender, fine looking (though completely misguided) little thing, did you actually have sex with this perverted, attention seeking little creep? Dildoes and the whole bit? Hmmm?
I shudder to think you would want to be humiliated like that. Abbie Boudreau is way out of this guy’s league.
Fuck the cow?
Unfortunately (fortunately?), James O’Keefe proves that he doesn’t understand what the phrase “Little Man in the Boat” means…
When you’ve lost the orangutan demographic, you’re screwed.
What a laydeeez man.
Not!
I think you’ve got James pegged, TBogg.
I’m not even a parent and I know that when you enable an infant’s bad behavior (or infantile behavior of any kind) things will escalate.
“But he only lit cats before” doesn’t cut it when the neighbor’s 5 year-old is found raped, mutilated, and murdered. It’s your kid who did it, and if you had addressed the gato frito issue, maybe little Susie would still be with us.
Andy and Brent, you can’t back away from your little monster. You praised his initiative and imagination (while ignoring the inherent dishonesty of his actions) because the bad behavior served a higher purpose.
Two pair of two words “Situational ethics” and “Moral relativism”. I’ll let you decide.

Sounds familiar: exploding frogs, anyone? Same sense of entitlement? Same sense of invincibility?
I wonder if there’s an eventual Air National Guard service in
AcapulcoAlabama coming. . .If he’s got any balls, he joined that club a long time ago.
His inner sanctum, or as he privately refers to it, his “sanctum Santorum”.
OH SNAP!
(I was afraid that was going to go unsaid)
“Just”? Excuse the metaphor, but that ship sailed long ago.
