Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Acorn in Senate’s Sights Again

Not satisfied with overwhelmingly winning a Senate ban on housing and transportation dollars going to the community group that is in the sights of conservatives, Senator Michael Johanns, Republican of Nebraska, on Thursday offered the same ban to a measure covering spending by the Interior Department.
The problem, according to Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat in charge of the bill, was that there is nothing in the measure that sends money to Acorn.
“To the best of our knowledge, there is no funding in this bill for Acorn,” said Ms. Feinstein, who said her colleague’s proposal seemed a bit redundant.
However, she said she was perfectly willing to add his language to the measure and would be happy to do so without a roll call vote, which she assumed would turn out pretty much like the 83-7 vote against Acorn on Monday. That vote came after Acorn employees were videotaped offered advice to conservative activists posing as people interested in establishing a prostitution business.
