James "I am a Camera" O'Keefe has scored another stunning victory, this time against Mike Ellis, a Republican and Wisconsin's state Senate President. O'Keefe's Project Veritas caught Ellis talking in a bar about setting up an illegal super PAC to collect money for his fall campaign against Democratic candidate Penny Bernard Schaber, and after the video was posted Wednesday, Ellis announced today that he was dropping his bid for reelection. Yr Wonkette is of two minds on this: On the one hand, it certainly looks like Ellis was talking about illegally setting up his own PAC, a violation of campaign finance laws that prohibit candidates from coordinating their campaigns with PACs. That's not good. On the other hand, James O'Keefe is just about the slimiest, most dishonest political operator out there, and we're not sure that the benefit of exposing a politician's plans to do sleazy political funding is balanced by O'Keefe's sleazy methods. This is really one of those pox o' both thy houses things, don't you think? And by "pox," of course, we mean "VD."

The pot calling the kettle sleazy.
Shingles AND plantar fasciitis?
"Ellis has long been an advocate of campaign finance reform"
Yes, and Mark Foley was chair of the house caucus of missing and exploited children.
In other words, if a GOPer was to come out strongly against goat-fucking, you just know...
Needz more furry pimp hatz.
Pssst. O'Keefe. Darryl Issa. You heard it here first.
He's gonna end up like Lt. Niedermeyer...
