Well, if they’d been the original website I asked about or the one of the ones who pushed the fake ACORN videos and stories, you’d have a point. ---

It would have just made him look like a sleaze. What could he have imagined it would have proven about her? Chances are, she would never would have even gotten on the boat with him, but even if she did, she would have told him to fuck off and walked away the second she saw the sex toys and shit. I got the impression he was deluded enough to think he was actually going to be able to get somewhere with her. That’s where the “creative editing” skills come in. ---

At the very least, he was explicitly expressing a plan to sexually harrass her. I still don’t really see how, even in his twisted, creepy little brain, he thought that sexually harrassing a CNN reporter was going to make the reporter look bad. ---

I still don’t really see how, even in his twisted, creepy little brain, he thought that sexually harrassing a CNN reporter was going to make the reporter look bad. That’s the kind of mistake you make when you’re a fuckwit. And while I’ve never been a CNN fan it’s unfortunate that activists have gotten to the point where they see the press as such a hostile entity that they’ll even attack a news organization _while it is publicizing them_. ---

[Bozell](http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-bozell/2010/09/29/bozell-denounces-okeefes-ugly-dishonest-and-filthy-stunt) cut him loose immediately. I wonder if Breitbart will have to as well. ---

I’m sure he would have had porn movies on hand to borrow footage from if his cunning little plan didn’t succeed. Oh, boy, Olbermann and Maddow will have a field day. I can hardly wait. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > I still don’t really see how, even in his twisted, creepy little brain, he thought that sexually harrassing a CNN reporter was going to make the reporter look bad. I think \*\*JRDelirious \*\*got it right upthread. He was counting on putting her in a strange, creepy situation in the hopes that he could capture raw footage of some spontaneous reaction that could be creatively edited to make her look slutty, or stupid, or cowardly, or dishonest. And depending on how quickly she figured out what was going on and how deftly she extracted herself from the situation, it could have worked. If she’d gotten pissed off and stormed out, or acted scared and fled, or played along with the joke (the way the ACORN workers did) she could quite easily have given them 10 or 15 seconds of video that could be chopped into something snarky or embarrassing. ---

I still don’t really see how, even in his twisted, creepy little brain, he thought that sexually harrassing a CNN reporter was going to make the reporter look bad. Consider his base. He could beat and rape her on camera and they’d swear on the lives of their grandchildren it was self defense and she egged it on. ---

If she walked out in a huff, then he would put footage of him asking her tough questions and make it look like that is why she walked out. If she actually fucked him, he would have asked her to marry him as she would have been the first he didn’t have to pay for.
