You all know James O’Keefe?  The totally insane rightwing idiot who keeps getting arrested for his illegal investigatory techniques?

This time his big story is that you can wear a cheap Osama bin Laden mask on the border between Texas and Mexico and not get shot.  Which appears to be unfortunate.

Oh yes, this is a picture he had someone take of him.

Filming at a narrow strip of the Rio Grande River in Hudspeth County, Texas, O’Keefe bemoans the lack of border security with county sheriff Arvin West. “I don’t see a single federal officer anywhere,” O’Keefe says.

He then crosses — illegally? — into Mexico and wades back across the Rio Grande into American territory. “Let me tell you something, if the president or Sen. (Harry) Reid or anybody tries to tell you our border is secure, they are lying to you,” he laments.

Now you know some federal officers were hooting laughing watching the live drone pictures of some skinny white dude crossing back and forth on the river and then putting on Halloween clothes.

The ghost of Osama bin Laden just ain’t as scary as you’d suspect, James.  And neither are you.

Thanks to Carol for the heads up.
