I’ll admit to being a little high on life after two weeks of damning video evidence against ACORN, the abject corruption of which has been one of my favorite targets since starting the site in June 2008.

I was almost giddy as Andrew Breitbart, who took the guerrilla journalism videos shot by James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles and turned them from what would have been a one-and-done web sensation into the near destruction of ACORN, signaled that this week would bring the take down of another left-wing organization.

Everyone was pretty clear that Breitbart’s new target would be the National Endowment for the Arts, and the conference call coordinated by the White House that instructed past and prospective NEA grantees to go out and make tax subsidized art in favor of Barack Obama’s agenda.  I was familiar with the conference call.  It had been reported on almost a month ago.

Noon came, and I refreshed BigGovernment.com repeatedly looking for the new angle. There are tapes and transcripts, and a pretty clear indication that the White House, all the way up to Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett, was not only involved but steering the whole thing.  But there was no “big bang.”

There was no hot chick in a micro-mini skirt, no skinny guy in a pimp hat.  Nobody told anyone how to import under-aged sex slaves or hide the proceeds from the IRS in a tin can in the back yard when you folded them into your prostitution ring.

Our expectations are too high.  My expectations are too high.

This kind of detailed, exhaustive and – yes – tedious exposition is not sexy, but it is needed if you’re going to show systemic corruption and malfeasance and have it lead to results. In summary, it’s pretty explosive. When you get down to the details, it is mostly deadly dull.  When you get down to the details in anything government related, it’s all mostly dull.  Some guys rifled through some files in an office building: Ho Hum, until the President resigns two years later.

It’s not just that Breitbart deserves the benefit of the doubt after the past two weeks.  It’s that, after the past two weeks, Breitbart deserves for there to be no doubt.

There has been some grumbling about this not being the blockbuster we were waiting for. Give it a rest. This is Breitbart.  There will be more tomorrow, and Wednesday, and Thursday.  And, from what he’s saying, this story goes to Hannity.
