James O’Keefe, the twenty-something conservative gadfly, has issued a statement explaining why he, with three others, were arrested for posing as telephone workers in Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's office on Monday. O'Keefe, who got famous after he punk'd some workers at community organizing group ACORN last September, says that contrary to "the false claims being repeated by much of the mainstream media," they were not trying to bug Landrieu's phones. Oh no, they were just trying to verify why her "constituents were having trouble getting through to her office." While O'Keefe admits he could have "used a different approach," he expects the media to apologize "for their journalistic malpractice" at once! In the meantime, he's charged with "entering a federal property on false pretenses with the purpose of committing a felony," which is how latte-swilling Obama elites treat Real Americans who are only trying to help.
