Conservative Bloggers Condemn O'Keefe's NOLA Escapade

James O'Keefe became a hero of conservative media--both in the Fox News establishment and in the blogosphere--when he uncovered ACORN employees' willingness to advise him on a prostitution and tax-evasion scheme in a series of videos posted to the conservative blog Big Government. But while at least one blogger suggested it's unfortunate that O'Keefe got arrested in a noble pursuit (presumably of damaging information on Sen. Mary Landrieu), conservative bloggers on the whole are condemning O'Keefe's attempted sting in New Orleans, The Atlantic Wire's John Hudson reports.

UPDATE: Apparently it wasn't an attempted wiretap. According to several media outlets, a law enforcement official says O'Keefe and his alleged associates weren't trying to bug Landrieu's office, but rather to see how her staff would react to its phones being inoperable.
