Holder is the angry sock monkeys firewall. He can dance naked in the streets (well actually dole out money to Dem bundlers fronting failing companies) while Holder is in office.<br /><br />Then about a month after the election, Holder will step down for "personal reasons". We'll have to listen to another speech from the one. Then quietly, like a knife in the dark, a stroke of a pen, and everyone's clean as the snow in Chicago on a friday rush hour in winter. <br /><br />You know that color of snow that's kinda like ash gray or pavement with salt on it? Makes you wanna get a big handful and eat it? Feel the grit from the road on your teeth... its not nice but MAN! it's real. Well maybe not.

The big difference with Fast and Furious and Watergate, Libby, etc., is that they involved Republicans. Those stories never went away, and were constantly talked about every single day in the MSM until the results that the MSM wanted, came true.<br /><br />Besides, and this is important, Holder and obama are black, and the MSM will not be part of anything that would remove either of them.<br /><br />Funny thing, in all those other incidences, nobody died, yet here we are with, what, two border patrol agents dead, and hundred of Mexicans killed.<br /><br />My suggestion would be this: don't do anything now, and wait until obama loses, then go after everyone involved in the sordid adventure.AllenShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848966772462502893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-15680637771454352752011-10-05T23:57:21.710-05:002011-10-05T23:57:21.710-05:00Quaestor @ 8:31

And the vision thing, though the iPad is a solution for a non-existent problem IMAO.<br /><br />The last time I bought an Apple hardware product it was Macintosh PPC 7600 a/v. Ultra cool in '96. Ultimately I upgraded the processor to a 400Mhz 604ev, the RAM to 1GB, added an ATI Radeon video accelerator, and upped the system to OS9. I had it on my credenza basically as a toy, but it was by far the fastest workstation on the company LAN. Later I decided to run an intranet web server for the MIS department, and my under-utilized Mac seemed like a good candidate for the job. Then I realized OS9 had no native web server capability. (At this time Microsoft had a personal web server available for Windows 98 through TechNet) I looked around and found a third-party MacOS web server for $500! Half a grand for a web server?! Mac developers must assume Mac owners are made of money. Out of pure cussedness I dumped OS9 and installed RedHat 5.2 on my formerly cool and now totally eccentric PPC7600 a/v. <br /><br />I still buy Apple software from time to time, my latest purchase was Lion, but I run my OS X license on an i7-powered home-built Hackintosh that eats mere iMacs as a mid-day snack.Quaestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688608372863540573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-87895251177235115732011-10-05T20:14:44.421-05:002011-10-05T20:14:44.421-05:00It was a terrible movie, I know, but a federal pro...It was a terrible movie, I know, but a federal prosecution seems a little much.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065798213115341398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-20984259526758095262011-10-05T20:07:30.424-05:002011-10-05T20:07:30.424-05:00"Fastmas"

Thanks.<br /><br />My understanding was that Rep. Issa was trying to delay this through the fall, so that he would have enough information that he could keep the special prosecutor's feet to the fire here. The problem being that U.S. Attorneys are typically appointed as special prosecutors. USAs are highly political, were appointed by President Obama, and vetted by and work for AG Holder. So their independence in this case may be questionable.<br /><br />But the scandal and the call for the special prosecutor won't wait here.
