If he really thinks it is unconstitutional, he has a duty to the Constitution to get it read.

And he’s supposed to tell television reporters what the law is–not vice versa.

This crowd needs no information, they already know everything. Remember, this is the clown that called us cowards for not ever talking about race. Meanwhile we, out here in flyover country, have been talking among ourselves about race, and just about everything else. We are the ones that have not needed a “beer summit” to drink a beer or so with our friends and coworkers, often of a different color or national origin. Heck, it was in the ’60s when I not only ate and drank with “minorities” but slept in the same fighting hole with them. Then in the ’70s I shared meals with fellow deputies and started drinking, sometimes too much, after shift change.

Not only is this crowd stupid but they are forty years behind the times, or more. Too bad none of them was smart enough to enlist when they got out of high school and serve a hitch or two, and then go to college. They might have learned something. Except that Murtha and Teddy Kennedy didn’t. I guess that unlike beauty, which is only skin deep, stupid goes down to the bone.

OB, my 10 bucks still says Holder is still AG on Jan 1, 2011. In fact, I’m feeling pretty confident about it. His supporters see all his deficiencies as virtues, and he is in complete alignment with the Big Chief.

OT but wonderful: Gov. Chris Christie schools a moistly liberal reporter-person.

What a refreshing thing to see.

I believe Holder’s admission reflects the rather bizzare notion in democrat circles that any opposing positions to progressivism must be only discredited and never examined. Because actual examination (like reading a law) gives it credence and power. Theres an almost voodoo like superstitious mumbo jumbo feel to what progressivism is morphing into.

“But Holder doesn’t need to read any laws, he just has to “feel” them. Isn’t that what his party is all about – how they “feel” from what he’s heard. No need to waste time when you’ve already made up your mind.”

That’s exactly my take, too, Teresa. It’s like you were reading my mind when you wrote that. For Democrats, and especially Democrats like Holder, the legal niceties of the letter of the law are nearly meaningless. What you feel about a particular issue is of paramount importance, and trumps everythings else. It’s a waste of time to deal with the actual law (why bother to read it?) once you’ve made your feelings about the law the priority.

It’s just like the health care law. Most Democrats felt no particular compulsion (or compunction) to actually read the thing they were passing on the rest of us. They didn’t care whether it was good law or bad law or even self-contradictory. The only thing that was important was the feeling it gave them of doing good. They voted for the feeling.

Holder hits rock bottom and starts digging. I'm starting to believe that he is both a political animal (we already knew that) and a blithering idiot. And, like his boss, completely without shame.

But Holder doesn’t need to read any laws, he just has to “feel” them. Isn’t that what his party is all about – how they “feel” from what he’s heard. No need to waste time when you’ve already made up your mind.

Occam: I don’t know if you are a fan of Ken Kesey. I’ve seen his bus at the Eugene, Oregon County Fair that he and his merry pranksters toured in. It looks like a heap.

However, I loved both the book and movie, “One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest,” and there is a scene where McMurphy is being interviewed by the mental hospital psychiatrist who notes McMurphy has had five fights. “Five fights, huh” “Yes.” “Well Rocky Marciano has had 34 fights and he’s a millionaire.” “That’s true.” “That is true.”

What you said . . . That is true.

Nice try, Buraq, but the rest of the nation is angry with you and the Dems, not with BP.

Just thought I’d clear that up.
