[...] Anita MonCrief reports on the long love affair in the Hot Air Green Room: Bloomberg’s relationship with ACORN spans a number of years and goes back to when Bertha Lewis, ACORN’s CEO and Chief Organizer, was the Executive Director of the New York ACORN. Though Lewis and Bloomberg have engaged in the occasional street theater, they have managed to push through lucrative deals including the highly controversial Atlantic Yards project.

I began writing my congressmen during the primaries to express distrust of ACORN. I began to write my congressmen to state that my family would not support any bill introduced that would fund ACORN, in any way, after the election.

I wrote a piece about this as well I was on that call and it is pretty interesting that the same person grilled not two weeks earlier, Bertha Lewis, by O'Reilly for major criminality is now being praised by mayors from both coasts and everywhere in between.

I say, we don’t want anyone from either city to move to Texas. Let each city suffer its welfare mentality. Let them fail. DON’T let them spread their ill-mentality to the south.

Nonetheless, many big-city mayors are now looking to Acorn — which has been organizing tenants, counseling homeowners and monitoring conditions in low-income neighborhoods for decades — for help in cutting their rising foreclosures rates.

Ha! ACORN peddled No Money Down! Low Interest! No Doc! loans like found in this testimonial of their "awesome" programs.

ACORN wasn’t even responsible or the Philadelphia program; in fact, ACORN has been trying to muscle in on it to get more of the homeowners into its counseling program.

I’m always amazed how cheaply our corrupt politicians are bought. You can buy Villaraigosa for less than a family vacation in Hawaii!

As the old joke goes, we’re only haggling over price.
