Things That Make My Head Explode: Eric Holder – The Mirandaizer
Attorney General and General Clown Eric Holder testified and was grilled today before the House Judiciary Committee. There were a number of things he said that were laughable and some that just made your blood boil, but the following took the cake…
From Fox News we learn [emphasis mine]:
Despite repeatedly voicing concerns about Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law in recent weeks and threatening to challenge it, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he has not yet read the law — which is only 10 pages long.
“I have not had a chance to — I’ve glanced at it,” Holder said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing when asked had he read the state law cracking down on illegal immigrants.
Holder told reporters last month that he fears the new law is subject to abuse and that the Justice Department and the Homeland Security Department are in the midst of conducting a review.
…
When asked by Rep.Ted Poe, R-Texas, how he could have constitutional concerns about a law he has not read, Holder said: “Well, what I’ve said is that I’ve not made up my mind. I’ve only made the comments that I’ve made on the basis of things that I’ve been able to glean by reading newspaper accounts, obviously, television, talking to people who are on the review panel…looking at the law.”
‘I have not had a chance to [read it] — I’ve glanced at it’!!!
‘…looking at the law’!!! You just friggin’ told us you hadn’t read the Arizona law!
WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!!!……
BOOM!!!…SPLAT!!!….. AHHHHHH!
I feel a lot better now.
Holder: “Opinions! Who wants opinions? Get your hot, steaming opinions here!”
Too bad the 5th amendment only protects one against self-incrimination – not self-inflicted nescience. Holder needs protection against the later.
“Opinion without factual support is, well, Liberalism…” -LTB
Enjoyed your blog, but am concerned that healtchare will not help the “boom splat” syndrome! Anyway, President B.O. is also mad at the federal government on the handling of the oil spill. As chief execuitve, isn’t president mad at himself? Didn’t know a good defense for BP chief executive is to proclaim he is mad at BP also? President B.O. can’t pass the buck, because all are bucks for this century have been used already.
