Like Watergate with dead bodies
Best sound-bite I have heard today regarding the Criminal Contempt vote (255-67) against Attorney General Eric Holder (first Cabinet member to be so charged).
More info at
The Washington Times:
House holds Holder in contempt over �Fast and Furious� documents
The House on Thursday cited Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. for contempt of Congress in a historic vote weighted with political significance � though it does little to break the stalemate over his decision to withhold documents regarding the Justice Department�s actions in a botched gunwalking operation.
The House voted 255-67 to hold Mr. Holder in criminal contempt in a vote that amounted to a political spanking for the attorney general and President Obama, underscored by the 17 Democrats who joined Republicans.
And of course, the circus grandstanders - - - grandstanded:
Most Democrats walked out of the vote in a protest led by the Congressional Black Caucus.
Holder was given chance after chance after chance to release the requested documents.
Why is he falling on his sword -- something in the documents maybe??? Hmmm???
