Eric Holder is now attorney general of the United States. Twenty-one Republicans voted against him.

It should have been all of them voting against him.

Now Gregg takes a demotion to a powerless, pointless position in The One Debacle...

There are several cabinet posts that have substantial power if the permanent bureaucracy in them does not actively undermine the political appointee... State, Defense, Treasury, Justice...

Holder has a serious seat... right where Boy Bill wanted him to be... and who said Bill Clinton doesn't run the Democrat Party?

It's like the good old days of a lie a minute, parsing the meaning of "is", and the media running propaganda events for the Administration.

Holder is a poor choice. He will be just the sort of AG a Chicago pol would want, though.

It is going to be a messy, difficult four years... and the suckup Obama"cons" are going to get more nausiating before they are cast off into the night to wail and gnash their teeth, by "The One" once he has co-opted them, removed them from the playing field, and stacked the deck in his favor.

The Evil Party Strikes again.

As not only AG Reno, but the whole edifice of big beneficent government was doomed by the flames of Waco, so Holder will etch in our collective minds' eye, why President Obama (as long as he remains the heir of BC and blackberry hubby of Pelosi) must be replaced.

I'm sure our national security has been strengthened by this confirmation. Thanks a bunch.
