What are the odds that this gets done in any greater detail than Little Timmy's taxes?  :whatever:

That is if Zero doesn't squash it from the get go.

Not high, but hopefully all these investigations will lead to a death by a thousand cuts for ACORN.

With so many investigators crawling up their corporate asshole with a microscope, one might hope that it would make it just a touch too risky for them to pull election shinannigans for 2010.

Faint hope of that really being the case, but one might hope.

Or just fires the IG.  He seems to have a real talent for that as well.

Hi,

They were raising hell about this yesterday.  Barney Frank got it from an "investigation" to a "review".  I guarantee you it is a massive cover up job.  These idiots in Washington think they can get away with anything.  Thank God for Jindahl in LA who is doing a real investigation.  Any governor who has presidential aspirations in 2012 or even later should be all over that one.

regards,
