A Marc Rich tradition!
I denounce myself for obvious racism, misogyny, and counter-revolutionary thought.
It is incredible that a corruptocrat like Holder ever was confirmed.

The outcome on Operation Fast & Furious will likely depend on whether or not a Special Prosecutor gets appointed. Issa can only carry it so fart on his own. If there was ever a situation that called for one, this is it.

Even for the Obama administration, Holder has proven brazenly corrupt.

Not surprising, inasmuch as--quoting someone--we are "essentially a nation of cowards" concerning matters of race.

Don't forget the oldie but goodie - We have to let the President have the people he needs.
I was disgusted that the Republicans rolled over based on Holders promise that he wouldn't do it again.
Issa was on with Chris Wallace this morning.

Holder is being invited to go before Issa's committee to "clarify".
Issa won't stop until he has someone at DOJ tagged with a felony. So who takes the fall?
There's just enough MSM coverage that stonewalling may not work anymore.
OF&F was intended to facilitate the killing of a lot of Mexicans. The blowback only happened because the unexpected happened -- a dead US border agent.
