This move may explain why the weekend statement from Bertha

Really, ACORN is so blinded by its own pride that its "blame the
messenger" strategy was inevitable. As Matthew explains, it's
hard to believe that they'd be cured of it in a matter of a few
hours or days. Public Relations 101 teaches that when you've got
an organizational or image problem, like with the Tylenol
poisonings or last year's peanut butter problems, you don't
dispute or argue the glaringly obvious facts. You put your best
humble foot forward, apologetically, and start to repair the
damage. ACORN does not appear to have such an appendage so they
will have to grow one.
