Activist guilty in phone caper at senator's officeMay 26 03:02 PM US/Eastern
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Four conservative activists accused of trying to tamper with the phones in Sen. Mary Landrieu's office have pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of entering federal property under false pretenses.
The most prominent activist, James O'Keefe, was sentenced to three years probation, 100 hours of community service and fined a $1,500 fine. The 25-year-old is known for wearing a pimp costume in a video that embarrassed ACORN.
Magistrate Daniel Knowles III sentenced the three others to two years probation, 75 hours of community service and fined them $1,500.
The FBI has said O'Keefe used his cell phone to try to capture video of two men who posed as telephone repairmen and asked to see the phones. O'Keefe spokesman Denis Calabrese disputed an earlier allegation that a fourth suspect waited in a car with a listening device, which was not mentioned in court records.

He's less of a "pimp" then she is a whore
I'm no fan of the Landrieu family in general (Mitch Landrieu was recently elected Mayor of New Orleans...they are the Kennedy's of Louisiana) and I really can't stand Mary. Her selling out on the Obama take over of the medical system is just the latest issue and I pray she is defeated at next election. I hope someone else goes after her in spite of O'Keefe getting nailed.
