There's a lot to chew over in James O'Keefe's "statement" regarding his failed fake non-seduction “punk” of CNN reporter Abbie Boudreau, but most of it is the sort of lying, weaselly garbage we've come to expect from the conservative media's favorite guerrilla activist, so we'll just focus on three points.

First, he says we can't rule out the possibility that Boudreau might have wanted to be fake-seduced, even though he claims that's not what he was doing:

In my version, the reporter was never going to be placed in a threatening situation. She would have had to consent before being filmed and she was not going to be faux “seduced” unless she wanted to be. If a CNN reporter would be willing to engage in such a folly, it might even be more newsworthy than Rick Sanchez's firing. (CNN also has Elliot Spitzer on payroll. He's done more outrageous things than anything I've ever gotten in my in-box).

Sexism, moral equivalence and obfuscation. Well played, non-Don Juan.

Second, he somehow claims to be vindicated by the fact that CNN reported all the ugly details of the ridiculous scheme:

I never wanted to be part of a CNN documentary because I know that CNN claims to be fair minded yet is not. Their pursuit of a non-story based on a document I neither produced, nor followed, confirms what we already know: “The most trusted name in news” can't be trusted. Look at their reporting.

Yep -- clearly the takeaway from this fiasco is that CNN can't be trusted.

Third, he deigns to give Boudreau some lessons in journalism:

I provided CNN with a clear statement that the document in question was objectionable. Still, they sent their “Special Investigations Unit” out in a failed attempt to discredit me. They do this not because they want to get to the truth, but because they are threatened by a bunch of independent journalists with video cameras uncovering the stories that they went to J-School to find.

Abbie Boudreau and Scott Zamost need to start worrying about - and covering - real abuses that are actually happening at Planned Parenthood, ACORN, or in Charlie Rangel's office. They need to start producing the type of investigations young people with shoestring budgets and flair are investigating.

That's the James O'Keefe approach to journalism -- few facts, less shame, and no apologies.
