The 82nd and current Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder. If ever there was a man truly deserving of the "Jackass of the Year" award, he most certainly is it. He's also proof that when it comes to picking Cabinet members, The Great Pretender doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
So just what did Holder do to deserve this high honor? Well, to be honest, his involvement in the failed operation known as "Fast and Furious" which resulted in the illegal sales of weapons to a Mexican drug cartel which then used some of the weapons to kill a Federal agent more than qualifies him. Then you put on top of that his refusal to obey the law regarding subpoenas of records for a Congressional inquiry - after all, he IS the Attorney General, the top law enforcement official in the whole nation, right? So you'd think he'd know that when you get served with a subpoena you don't have the option of NOT complying with it. But Holder must think he's above the law, because he's about to get sanctioned by Congress for failing to comply with the latest subpoena issued to him for his records in the "Fast and Furious" investigation.
Then there's his pitiful and downright disgraceful performance when he was called to testify before a Congressional hearing on the "F&F" debacle, the one in which he refused to acknowledge the fact that he was being placed under oath. I guess his razor-sharp legal mind thought that if you just don't agree that you're under oath you can't be charged with perjury later on. Simple, huh? He must think so - but fortunately for the rest of us, that's not the way it is.
Then there's the class act of him losing his temper during those hearings, showing us just what a loser he really is. Yeah, a real class act, this one - if you can't be right, be mad and maybe those awful, mean and nasty Congressmen will just leave you alone. That may have worked on the playground, Eric, but it won't work in Congress.
And now, to top it all off, just when you think he can't do or say anything worse or more stupid than he already has, he pops up and makes the following statement to the New York Times:
"This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him, both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we're both African-American."
Yeah, that's right, Eric, those mean ol' white boys in Congress are only pickin' on you 'cuz you and your home boy Barack are black.
Riiiiiiiiiight.
If this statement had come from a black gang member I would have accepted it; I wouldn't have agreed with it, but I would have accepted it because that's what black gang members always say whenever they get busted. If this statement had come from a black drug dealer, same thing - I would have accepted it but not agreed with it for the same reasons.
But this statement didn't come from a gang member or a drug dealer. It came from the Attorney General of the United States, a supposedly intelligent and educated man, and this fact alone makes it the single most stupid, moronic, and incredibly unbelievable thing I've heard this year. It just blows me away that a man in his position of responsibility and authority would be stupid enough to utter such total nonsense and actually think that the American people are going to believe it and agree with him! This man's stupidity apparently knows no bounds. He is a total disgrace to his office and the nation, and I hope Congress throws the book at him.
If NObama had half a brain in his head he'd be pounding on Holder's office door, demanding that he tender his resignation immediately.
But then again, NObama appointed him to the job to begin with...so much for him having half a brain.
November 2012 can't get here fast enough.
