In one of the most bizarre and hilarious stories you are likely to read today, CNN's Scott Zamost reports that during the production of a CNN documentary series on young up-and-coming conservative activists, infamous "ACORN pimp" James O'Keefe hatched a strange plot to pull a prank on CNN Investigative Correspondent Abbie Boudreau, involving a staged seduction attempt on a boat, with candles and dildoes. Huh, what?

As she produced a news series about a new generation of right wing extremists, Abbie Boudreau of CNN captured the eye of conservative video punk James O'Keefe. O'Keefe, who achieved notoriety as a fake pimp in a video clip punk that led to the demise of an organization that advocated for minorities and the poor, plotted to trick Boudreau to conduct an interview in which he would make an effort to humiliate her with sexual harassment grabbed by a concealed camera. When Boudreau arrived for the "interview," a woman working with O'Keefe thought the better of things and let her know what was about to occur.
