Cynical…
If Holder’s announcement came on a Thursday, what are they going to try to slip by on Friday???
Or is this because of the Vaughn file having to be released this month???
Or???
And the apologists are already out in force on the morning news, praising Holder and how ‘good’ a friend he’s been to the GOP, the public, etc…
And I’m sure BO has already signed his blanket pardon, I’m betting THAT was part of the negotiation…
Gag me with a spoon… Sigh…
Can’t wait for 4:30 this afternoon!
and the Weiner Holder campaign begins…
As you’d expect, that’s my feeling on the matter.
WEINER/HOLDER 2016
If Holder is pardoned for high crimes and misdemeanors, he is clear to run for Vice President on the Weiner-Holder ticket.
And the apologists are already out in force on the morning news…
I had to step away from the teevee last evening when the PBS Newshour did their segment on Holder, otherwise I might have done something I’d (a) regret and (b) would have been VERY expensive.
Go ahead, Buck. Shoot the TV. You’d be my hero. I just turn it off, but that’s because I’m too frigging cheap to shoot it.
If Ruth”Buzzy’ Ginsberg retires from The Supreme Court, I think Obama wants to appoint Holder to fill her spot.
What a nightmare.
What the media isn’t saying is that, earlier this week, the courts cleared the way for the contempt-of-Congress proceedings to continue. Holder’s in line to be prosecuted, and he had to resign to be eligible for a pardon.
I got the ever popular high heel directed towards the face for yelling at one of the wimps on an MSNBC who trying very hard to find nice things to say about Holder. (Household-six has a very strict no yelling at the idiot box except during mutually enjoyed sporting events; ie the Braves)
Dammit/LL- Y’all owe me a keyboard… snerk…
Buck- Tempted over here too!
Rev- True, I’d forgotten that. Possible cause…
SPE- Ouch! Do NOT piss off six!
That pardon thing hadn’t occurred to me.
That’s depressing.
Two words to really p!ss everyone off:
Recess Appointment
Congress isn’t in session, right?
Two more words:
Nuclear Option
No way to stop the next appointment by filibuster either.
Ed- Yep, one of ‘my’ first thoughts…
WN- Shit… Depressing options…
