O'Keefe: I've Got More Video
Update: PBS Confesses It Met With "Muslim Donors" Too

Thanks to rdbrewer in the sidebar (funny "You've totally redeemed yourself" video, too). O'Keefe says he has more video, and he's pulling the old ACORN rope-a-dope where he induces them to make certain claims in their defense, which he will then disprove with more damning evidence.

"We’re not done releasing footage,” O’Keefe told Newsmax in an exclusive interview Tuesday. “We have more investigative material that we’re going to release.

“I’m not really going to comment on it yet, but I think it will be very interesting to see what happens with this story as it develops,” he promised.

Also from rd: Obama thinks NPR needs more federal funding. Even though Schiller said they barely got anything from the government and would do better without it.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports NPR, was appropriated $420 million for fiscal year 2010. Obama wants to increase CPB's funding to $451 million in his latest budget.

That's about an 8% hike in funding. Gee, it must be wonderful to literally have all of the money you could wish for. Shit, we've got so much extra money we're spending it on silly shit, like cowboy poets and, who knows, a new Museum of Rodeo Clowning.

Oh, and here's a shock: NPR decided to right its ship by appointing a liberal Democrat fund-raiser as interim CEO.

It's awfully strange that a fair-and-balanced strictly-objective "news" organization cannot even imagine hiring executives that aren't themselves liberal Democrats.

Two words: Brit Hume. Are they claiming Brit Hume isn't professional enough for a six month caretaker stint?

But they will insist that there are no conservatives (or even independents) who are smart enough and educated enough to run NPR.

More: Vivian Schiller was forced out. It wasn't a voluntary resignation.

On the other hand, NPR pays -- by which I mean you pay -- its executives just-shy-of-a-million-dollars severances bonuses on the way out, so don't worry, failure is always rewarded in liberal-land.

Update: At Hot Air -- PBS admits they got stung too, and declined comment about whether they're worried about the tapes coming out.

Their spin is that they broke off communications when they decided they couldn't verify the would-be Islamist donors were who they said they were. But we'll see how much pandering they were willing to do -- like agreeing that the Jews control the newspapers -- in trying to grab up on some Mohammadan Coin.
