Andrew Breitbart and his band of bloggers remain quite distraught over their colleague James O'Keefe's humiliating guilty plea in New Orleans yesterday. And yes, there continues to be lots of thrashing and lashing out over at Breitbart's site. (His editor yesterday practically begged his contributors to submit O'Keefe-backing blog posts.)

But guess what? It's all Media Matters' fault! Apparently we gave O'Keefe the bight idea of dressing up like a telephone repair man in order to talk his way into a the federal office of a U.S. senator. Or something.

Here was angry blogger and full-time Breitbart apologist Larry O'Connor last night [emphasis added]:

Even in defeat, the hacks and non-entities at Media Matters -- led by the embarrassingly humorless head hack, Eric Boehlert- just can't write a story about James O'Keefe without letting their bias and contempt for him get in the way of the truth. But what else is new?

First of all, Larry I'm hurt by the personal attacks, especially since I hold your work in such high regard. But note the “non-entities” language, which O'Connor has used before to describe Media Matters. In the eyes of Breitbart bloggers we're completely irrelevant and don't even exist. We're non-entities.

But if that's the case, why can't Breitbart bloggers stop writing about Media Matters? I mean really, if we're so completely inconsequential, why do Breitbart's sites devotes so many man hours to detailing our every move?

Don't believe me? Take a look: Breitbart and his bloggers recently wrote about Media Matters here, and here, and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here, and here and here and here and here.

And that's all within the last month.

So, either Media Matters is way more important and influential than Breitbart will acknowledge, or O'Connor has no idea what the phrase “non-entities” means. Take your pick.

UPDATED: Right on cue, somebody by the name of Kurt Schlichter, no doubt heeding his boss's demand that Breitbart contributors type up redundant defenses of O'Keefe, blogs about Media Matters today and declares we're “non-entities.” You know, the kind that demand non-stop attention.

Bonus points for Schlichter, who's an attorney, because like all right-wing O'Keefe defenders he mocks the guilty plea and claims O'Keefe should've gotten off with a warning after dressing up in a costume in order to sneak into a federally secure building.
