GRITtv: F Word: GOP Nuts Throw ACORN From a Glass House

The House this month passed by a wide margin a provision that would bar ACORN from receiving any federal funding. Every House Republican voted 'aye' as well as 172 Democrats. Soon the Senate will consider its own complete ban measure. Let's hope they enjoy their gloat and then get right back to business. The legislation they passed in all their rush, you see, is written so broadly that it just comes in very handy. Rep. Alan Grayson (D of Florida) has already asked the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) to find out which other contractors might be caught in the ACORN net. Abuse of federal funds -- Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman are top of the list, with 20 fraud cases between them. This could all get very interesting very fast. Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck. Who's going to be first with the outrage?
