White House's Patrick Gaspard is Former ACORN Goodfella

President Obama says he hasn't been closely following this ACORN slow-motion train wreck. Maybe not; working on speeches for the UN may have been occupying his time while ACORN's boys in the hood were offering help to smuggle underage prostitutes into the states.

But I'm fairly sure that the White House Political Affairs Director, Patrick Gaspard, has been following it closely. Matthew Vadum blew the lid off yesterday in AmSpec by revealing P-Gas's ties to ACORN. But Vadum gives due credit to Erick Erickson of Redstate for establishing a strong "rolodex" connection between Bertha Lewis, the current ACORN heavy and P-Gas, an ACORN-made guy, who seems to be serving as Consigliere to the group presently.

Excerpt from Vadum's piece on P-Gas:

Newly discovered evidence shows the radical advocacy group ACORN has a man in the Obama White House.

This power behind the throne is longtime ACORN operative Patrick Gaspard. He holds the title of White House political affairs director, the same title Karl Rove held in President Bush's White House.

Evidence shows that years before he joined the Obama administration, Gaspard was ACORN boss Bertha Lewis's political director in New York.

Lewis, the current "chief organizer" or CEO of ACORN, was head of New York ACORN from at least 1994 through 2008, when she took over as national leader of ACORN. With Gaspard at work in the White House, Lewis might as well be speaking to President Obama through an earpiece as he goes about his daily business ruining the country.

Now to deal with the question: who leaked Big Bertha's contact list to Redstate? I mean, ACORN couldn't have any disgruntled employees... could they? Hmmmmm...
