ACORN Fail

Drum's take on the ACORN lawsuit:

Points for chutzpah, I guess, but this is a bad idea on so many levels it hurts just to think about it.  All they're doing is extending the news cycle on this whole debacle, making fools of themselves with transparently petty arguments, and just generally showing less common sense than your average mafia don caught on a 60 Minutes sting.  At this point, ACORN needs to take their lumps, finish their internal investigation, and clean up their act.  In the meantime, the least they can do is avoid handing the Glenn Beck crowd free additional ammunition.  Fair or not, shooting the messenger isn't helping their cause.

Allahpundit has nearly the same reaction.
