Regulars here know that there is a local connection to the Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe fiasco at ACORN.

Terese Raia: Pornography Expert

Hannah is the granddaughter of Terese Raia, Fort Bend’s modern day  answer to Carrie Nation.  Except that instead of alcohol, Ms. Raia is concerned with s-e-x.  She’s against it.  Totally.  Especially if it’s fun.  No, wait, even if it’s not fun, she’s against it.  Ms. Raia is a member of the State Republican Executive Committee and pulls some mighty weight in Christian Coalition Republican circles. And even though she lives in a swanky house and drives a super swanky car, she is well-known for being stingy.

So, hoots and hollers of laughter broke out at the Beauty Salon this afternoon when it was discovered that Hannah is being sued. For money.

In February, Hannah Giles admitted that the flamboyant pimp and prostitutes costumes in which she and O’Keefe were seen in some of the videos were never worn inside ACORN offices, contrary to most news reports. “In truth, O’Keefe represented himself to low-level ACORN workers as the college law school boyfriend of Giles, desperately trying to save her from the house of an abusive pimp who she believed would kill her,”

But, that was not the story that Hannah swore was the truth.

The Demure and Modest Miss Hannah

The demure and lovely Hannah was blessed with a Grandmother with influence so she was even recognized in the United States Congress by none other than Congressman Pete Olson.

Rep. Pete Olson today introduced a resolution in honor of Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe III for their diligent investigative journalism exposing the fraudulent and potentially illegal activities of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now or ACORN.

“Oh bless his heart,” Juanita commented.  “It’ll take months to scrub all the egg off his face.”

“Hannah has learned a valuable lesson early in her life:  if somebody wants you to pretend to be a hooker, you’re gonna end up losing money on the deal.  It’s that simple.  Also, pull up your pants, girl.  You look like a floozy.”

I am certain that her grandmother is still very proud of her.  She just doesn’t mention it much anymore.  And that’s the problem with being haughty.  The bigger they are, the louder splat they make when they fall.
