The ACORN scandal

Mary Katherine Ham:

Given that the bailout bill is largely agreed upon as a necessary "crap sandwich" that "sucks," it is worth noting that conservative outrage did succeed in stripping the most egregious pork from the bill— funds in an "affordable housing trust fund" that could have gone to Democrat-allied and often nefarious advocacy groups like ACORN.

All possible proceeds from the sale of these toxic assets will now go toward the national debt, not to affordable housing groups that pressure politicians to pressure banks to offer risky loans to low-income families, so those families can get into mortgages they can't afford. Hmmm, doesn't that sound familiar?

...

ACORN will undoubtedly mobilize all of the dead people, cartoon characters, pets, historical figures, and illegal immigrants it has registered to vote in order to achieve this goal.

Since ACORN was largely responsible for creating this mess it is beyond outrageous that the Democrats were going to reward them for creating the mess to begin with. They should be opening investigations into those who supported the organizations efforts in Congress. Someone in Washington needs to identify the person responsible for putting the gift to ACORN in the package to begin with. Whomever it was needs to exposed, ridiculed and defeated in the next election. If there is not a question about ACORN's role in this debacle in the next debate then people are not doing their job. Since Obama was a former community organizer for ACORN his role needs to be exposed.
