Abbie Boudreau James O’Keefe: O’Keefe Prank Fails – Abbie
Boudreau, a correspondent for CNN recently was involved in the new
documentary titled “Right On the Edge.” It will be airing this Saturday
and Sunday and will be profiling four young journalists that are
described as “guerilla journalists” and are shaping the opinions of the
public.
One of those that will be profiled, James O’Keefe, who played the
part of a pimp for ACORN sting videos in 2009 and did not expect his
work to be portrayed in a positive light whatsoever. He created a plan
to “punk” the reporter during the filming of her new documentary in
hopes of discrediting her and CNN.
In the end, Boudreau was able to get the best of him. She exposed his
antics for the entire web to see. He had hoped to seduce her on his
boat, which would likely keep any information about him out of her
documentary.
She flew to Maryland to meet him and discuss his concerns with the
documentary. She had been tipped by a friend that he was going to
attempt to seduce her. The man had placed a number of items around his
house including sex toys and condoms in an attempt to seduce her. When
she became privy to the plan, she decided that she had to get back at
him. She eventually outted his entire plan on her blog, exposing the
details that he had put together. It will be interesting to see if he
blogs in response to the accusations against him.
