   The NRA may be easing off of attacking Holder, a black man, for PR reasons. Just a few years ago the president of the NRA, when asked why the U.S. has an unusually high level of gun violence relative to other nations, responded, “Well, we have, probably, more mixed ethnicity than other countries, some other countries.”

   The modern Republican party is so awesome. Thanks Nixon. Thanks Jay Tea. Thanks so much. You’re such great people.

   Funny you would mention crack heads.

   Thanks for throwing up a picture of real women once in a while. Not those who look like they are on a crack diet.

   Maybe you only did it once. But hey it’s a new year.

   Anyway here you can vote for the video vixen of the year.

   You might want to start posting some pictures of the truly beautiful women with real shapes. .

   Here is another link for a site that posts weekly photos of the hottest spreads.

   Ed,

   Perhaps the NRA is keeping their powder dry. It is a pussy move but I doubt the coalition will crack any more than the left will jettison Obama as he moves to the center leaving a string of forgotten positions in his wake. Does Obama want blue collar Democrats to rethink their alliance he provokes them by attacking the 2nd Amendment. Holder is going to take plenty of heat from his association performance with Clinton pardons. Obama’s old Senate seat scandal is only a difference in degree not kind.

   Do you really want to open up the can of worms labeled race, demographics, and murder Ed?

   So, Oliver, let’s hear an impassioned championing of Mr. Holder’s qualifications to be Attorney General. Bonus points if you can include mentions of his involvement in bypassing routine procedures in the Rich pardon, his role in the FALN clemencies, and his role in the Elian Gonzalez fiasco.

   All I can figure is that Rich has a copy of Obama’s true birth certificate or something, and is using that for blackmail for the AG job.

   (For the clue-impaired: that last bit was a JOKE. I almost said “pictures of Obama with a sheep,” but the bit about referring to the stupid “birth certificate” foofaraw seemed a bit more Obama-specific, and not generic like the sheep line.)

   let’s hear an impassioned championing of Mr. Holder’s qualifications to be Attorney General
   The president-elect nominated him. No, seriously, you guys can throw 10 year old half baked stories around all you want in the vain effort to derail him, but we both know he’s going to be seated in all likelihood. I’m not on top of the other issues, but once again with Elian Gonzalez it seems you think a fringe conservative opinion resembles reality. The boy was being illegally harbored by his family here when he should have gone to his father. It shouldn’t have come down to the confrontation it did, but the DOJ showed restraint with the nutjobs holding him down in Miami.

   Tim Russert and Eric Holder, on Gonzalez:
   “You wouldn’t send a SWAT team in the middle of the night to send him back, would you?”

   “Nope.”

   Holder and Russert the day after a SWAT team took him and sent him home:

   “We went in at five in the morning, not the middle of the night.”

   How positively Clintonian.

   And nice glossing over the other points — his role in the pardoning of Marc Rich, the clemency for the convicted terrorists, and his qualifications for the job. “He’s been nominated, so he’s qualified.” Funny how that reasoning didn’t apply to Sarah Palin…

   Holder has NO business holding any position of authority in the federal government, especially the chief law enforcement officer of the land.

   Unless, of course, you have absolute faith in Obama’s much-vaunted “judgement,” and the simple fact that Obama has nominated him means you don’t have to think for yourself any more and exercise independent judgment. “If Obama says he’s good, that’s good enough for me!”

    I’m witholding judgement until we know just what experience exactly Mr. Holder has with Arabian show horses.

    Perhaps the NRA is keeping their powder dry.

    Indeed, because the president of the NRA, just a few years ago in a filmed interview, said the reason the U.S. has relatively more gun violence than other nations is:

    Well, we have, probably, more mixed ethnicity than other countries, some other countries.

    The president of the NRA said that. On camera.

    I realize that moodern Republicans (like other political groups of the past) need an Other to exist–Southern Strategy and all that–but that’s pretty awful even for them. So whatever perceived reasons the NRA might have for opposing Holder, the NRA’s unfortunate bigot eruption may cause them to keep their powder dry in this instance.

    It is a pussy move…

    Indeed, but that’s because the NRA is a bunch of pussies, and not a tough-talking anonymous blog commenter like you, Amused Observer. I bet the other chickenhawks in the chickenhawk chat rooms are constantly in awe of your tough-talking awesomeness. I bet the virtual ladies on the Internets dig it too. They know you’re a real tough guy, and definitely not over compensating for anything. Now hurry up, I heard the limp-wristed B. Hussein Obama was coming to take your popgun away.

    Pardons?? I don’t think they really want to go there. Was Rich as terrorist responsible for the bombing an airplane that killed everyone on board. Bush sr, pardoned one.

    Funny how that reasoning didn’t apply to Sarah Palin…
    Huh? She was an idiot, and according to 69.4 million Americans, the wrong person for the job.

    And now the DOJ is supposed to be briefing Meet The Press? As noted above, all this coming from the people who defended Alberto Gonzales is kind of… fucking ridiculous.

    Sideline thought:
    I find it interesting & revealing that theh writer & organization that thinks it is a serious reporting agency used the word “wusses” in the headline.
    Stay classy RS! You’ll get the respect you deserve!

    his role in the pardoning of Marc Rich

    Jay Tea, who was Marc Rich’s lawyer and what job did he move on to before being convicted of perjury?

    Bonus question: what country specifically requested Rich’s pardon?

    LOL Ed,
    Nice rant, Holder’s probably in. Democrats have a real problem with policing their own.

    I’d love to hear your myopic theories about violent crime in America.

    I’d love to hear your myopic theories about violent crime in America.

    I wouldn’t want to interfere with your unintentionally funny/pathetic theories. One presumes they’re consistent with the late NRA president’s wonderful ideas: “Well, we have, probably, more mixed ethnicity than other countries, some other countries.” Charming group, Republicans are.
