James O'Keefe

So his arrest in Sen. Landrieu's turned out to be something less than Watergate, Jr.

On the other hand, Patterico and Ace of Spades have a couple of posts on the interesting way the prosecutors handled things.

Ace makes a good point about journalists, leaks, and the narrative:

This is very similar to the basic rules of leaks: If a leak damages a Republican, the leak is considered legitimate and the story is the content of the leak itself.

If, however, a leak damages a Democrat, the leak is considered illegitimate and not fit for public discussion and the story is instead about the lack of ethics and political maneuvering and general skullduggery that resulted in the leak.
