8 Respect?  From the guy who recuses himself but didn't do it in writing and there's no record of it except for the thought bubble over his head?  Yeah, I got your respect right here.

9 I'll tell you what I'll give Holder, and Lew and this stinking regime,  about $100 less dollars every month.  I'm increasing my W-4 withholding allowance.   Of course being honest I'll pay up next April but in the meantime they are taking a haircut. 

10 I'm better than you by virtue of my skin color and political alliances. And RESPECT ME!

11 I can't quite put my finger on why, but the Obama Regime and its media fanboys remind me of the nutjob couple on last week's "Kitchen Nightmares."

13 You Republicans hate me because I'm black. 

14 Well la di frickin DA

15 But racism!!

16 Consider the Falkenberg's Legion universe: On Sparta, "Citizen" is earned and respected. On Earth, "Citizen" means that one is not a "Taxpayer."

17 Eric is there for two reasons. He's a brother and he will protect the entitlement class. Note the noise about the Black governor of MA replacing him. Obama wants a brother deciding who to go after.

18 Of course, last night the Chicago Tribune was dropping hints that Deval Patrick would replace Eric Holder.

His major qualifications are that he is Black and a friend of Obama.

19 13 You Republicans hate me because I'm black. Posted by: Fourth Virginia at May 16, 2013 09:51 AM (wbmaj) Well, being an asshole then is just an extra?

20 "Disrespecting Holder because he is black" in 5.. 4.. 3 ..

21

Great post, Drew. (With)Holder has consistenty shown his comtempt for Republicans and anyone who dares to question any of his actions. He is above the law, because he is the law, at least in his own mind. Therefore, those, like Black Panthers, who are favored can get away with anything, while those who he disdains get persecuted.

 

I wish I had seen Issa's response to Holder's statement yesterday. Unfortunately, none of the videos I've seen has shown Issa's reaction.

22 But take into account Holder's military service for his Country...the sacrifice............

23 #19  You Republicans hate me because I'm a black asshole. 

24 Fantastic post, DrewM. Reminds me of 'It's Senator' (ma'am). Part of the problem in Washington is that these people don't think of themselves as public servants, but rather as our betters.

25 17 Holder is the firewall. It isn't so much race as it is who will make a good firewall. Since nobody will touch a black Democrat, that makes it a logical choice.

26 They call me "Mister General"!

27 Lots of academic writing about the heightened demand for "respect" among African American adolescent males.   Check out "the African American respect scale" a muli-item instrument that purports to measure this.

I'm better than you by virtue of my skin color and political alliances. And RESPECT ME!

 

This times a fucking million and it isn't only him

29 What's this alleged "Congress" you're yammering about?

30 #25, good point. Democratonium is a powerful substance, but black democratonium is almost lethal to any opponent.

31 Again, just attacks by a "Vast White Wing conspiracy."

Say it loud, I'm AG and I'm proud!

Holder was never in the military.

The closest he ever cam to the military, was when he was co-captain of the basketball team at Columbia.

43 That's cute.  Eric Holder has been entitled his entire adult life, and whining like a forlorn school girl is how he got there.

44 DrewM,

Excellent point about demanding versus earning respect.

My representative (Scott Garrett) holds conference calls every month or two. The system is set up so that anyone can call in and speak with him, ask questions, or just rant a bit. He listens respectfully to everyone.

It's almost as if he understands who he works for.

45 Title of his forthcoming "tell-all" autobiography? Eric Witholder, Unfettered

46 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a malignant traitor.

47 Doesn't Obama already have a replace for Holder picked out, Patrick somebody or other?

48 great post DrewM. Cobs are hot this morning. But am I the only person who had to look up "fredo"?

49 #45  But he's a "General" for God's sake.  The combat he has seen---the lives he has saved.  The man is a military hero!  Sincerely, Colin Powell

I know it's not strictly the topic of this post- but does anyone else suspect that the media is getting ready to give the Admin a collective pass on all their tyrannical malfaesance?

 

I mean, TFG fires the "Acting Director" of the IRS- who wasn't even in that possition when the "enemies list" audits began- and all I'm hearing is about how "tough" that was, as though it suddenly makes everything alright again.

 

I guess that offer to bring up the Press Shield Law had its intended affect.  Better than chocolate and flowers.

85

If you didn't watch the lead up to Withholder's demands, it's worth the time.  Basically Withholder provided the committee with a multi-page  memo  that was all redacted except for the From and To lines.  Issa was wondering What The Fuck, and Withholder said he didn't know why it was all redacted but he'd look into it.  Issa pointed out that it was all redacted because someone didn't want the committee to know the details in the memo.

 

That's when Withholder got all butthurt.  Yeah, if you want respect, don't try to snow the committee with a ridiculous stunt like that.

86
This guy has used his position for corruption and cronyism and what he believes is payback for racism against his tribe.  And yet he wants respect, here's mine Eric, F U.

87 remember- the media counter-offensive begins Sunday morning check your weapons check your gear

88

This administration sets race-relations back almost every day.  It's a circus of entitlement, and hubris.  It really makes you wonder "what did they think actually happened in the 'corridors of power?'" 

 

Did they truly believe that these jobs were as hands-off as they treat them?  Did they really believe that this shit just works itself out?

 

The answer, of course, is "yes, they did."  Liberals of every color truly believe that BIG BUSINESS is nothing but Mr. Monopoly, smoking his cigar while riding the backs of homeless families.  They really believe that their nemesis, the Koch Brothers, heat their homes with the bones of children who starved to death while they worked on their back-nine game.

 

The sheer stupidity of it is mind boggling.  What's worse is that the "liberals" who really do know what's involved in being an executive - the Soros' of the world - feed this view so that they can exploit it.  Obama might not even realize that he's a puppet.  Truly a Manchurian-model. 

 

Eric Holder doesn't even realize that he's a tool... which only makes him a bigger tool.

89 Hey now! Posted by: EC at May 16, 2013 10:08 AM (GQ8sn) what? okay. I guess that wasn't mean. you're off the hook. I refuse to apologize or be ashamed of my ignorance of all things Godfather. (sticks out tongue).

I blame the creation of a permanent Political Class in Washington on John Carrier.  Before he invented air conditioning DC was a hot, damp, miserable and generally uninhabitable swamp for almost seven months out of the year and nobody wanted to stay there long term.  That changed with the advent of AC.

93 For elizabethe: http://youtu.be/vYabrQrXt4A If you have never watched "The Godfather" or "The Goddather, Part II", you ought to do so. They get cited a lot here. (There is no truth to the rumor that "the Godfather, Part III" was made. None whatsoever!)

94 take a look at the approval polls for Congress, then tell me about "respect"

95 That's when Withholder got all butthurt. Yeah, if you want respect, don't try to snow the committee with a ridiculous stunt like that. --- Respect is also earned, not given. What, exactly, has this particular shitstain done to EARN respect given his complicity in Waco, the Marc Rich pardon, Fast And Furious, etc.?

96 I know I'm not supposed to hate but.... I'm not sure there is any other word for what I feel towards this administration, progressives, the media - the lot of them.  (All one in the same, I know.)

97

We need to get beyond this imperial government we've created and back to a small “r” republican form where people who temporarily hold office don’t consider themselves a distinct and separate class above the real power in this country…the citizens.

 

Either constitutional amendment or (considering the ass-covering scum in DC) an Executive Order:  No member of Congress, nor their families nor their staffers at any level whatsoever shall be exempt from laws duly passed by Congress.  Then make that motherfucker retroactive to the goddamn Garfield administration.

or that not only do you pay taxes doing your duty, but now they want you body scan , and all personal history.

the fact that you find you cannot 'trust' not like is one thing but not 'trust'

We know for hundreds of years  this was a, go to country to find freedom from tyranny and dictators .

it was about trust  and being able to climb out of hopelessnes with perseverence and tons of effort, but if they are saying they will cut you off at the knees if you don't vote a certain way, or pay up what is left??

My wife and I got a letter from the IRS saying we now had to file quarterly payments and penalties for not enough withholding.  The reason why is because we could claim her children only on even numbered years as a result of the divorce settlement with her ex.  Our taxes swung wildly from year to year, from owing a lot to receiving a lot, so much that they wanted us to withhold more, pay penalties and file quarterly.  It sucked ass because I too, believe in hanging onto my money as long as possible then paying it all on April 15.

119 >Was Godfather III the worst movie ever made, or is it just me? It's just me. it wasn't the worst movie ever made, it just didn't need to be made. It added nothing to the overall story, except to wrap things up with the main character's death, at last.

120 Holder needs to get the sand/granite bolder out of his sensitive ladyparts and start coming clean about F and F and the AP issues.

If he has serious problems about being "respected", maybe he needs to quit, take his boss with him and go back to "community organization" or set up a sit-in at the local community college over some "womyns issues".

EVERY member of Cabinet, ALL the inner circle, ALL the Ministers of Defence and Foreign Affairs and the Treasurer even the Federal Attorney-General, etc, has to justify themselves at the polls - and the person who runs the show is neck deep in that Parliament, every session.

147 Being from outside Philly, I lost respect for Holder when he could not put a truncheon bearing voter threatening man in jail for intimidating voters. I wouldn't have cared if it was 'only' ninety days. He deserved to be behind bars for a while. Not presented with a 'consent agreement' to sign, pinky swearing not to do it again.

He could have.  He chose not to.

160 Was Godfather III the worst movie ever made, or is it just me? It's just me. Posted by: Fourth Virginia at May 16, 2013 10:15 AM (wbmaj) Never watched it. I've taken it on faith from 1 and 2 fans that 3 was awful.

Didier Drogba, the Ivory Coast native who is one of the greatest soccer players in the world and now plays for the Turkish club Galatasaray, had bananas thrown at him last weekend. In addition, the crowd in last weekend's game in Turkey made monkey noises at him.

Wayne Simmonds,  who is a black NHL player for the Flyers, had a banana peel thrown  at him on the ice from a fan in London,  Ontario back in 2011, when they were playing an exhibition against the Red Wings in preseason.

 

I like to point that out to my Canadian  acquaintances when they ask earnestly  clueless questions like, "You're from the South?  Isn't it true there's  a lot of racism against black people there?"

165 In my father's day they would have just decided that Holder was a "lousy bastard" that would have been the end of it. He could huff and puff all he wanted and no one who mattered would give a shit.

180 I always get annoyed when I hear Newt Gingrich called "Speaker Gingrich" or Sarah Palin referred to as "Governor".

The same goes for any other former office holder.

I bet I know who threw that peel.  Canada is very immigration friendly, and a lot of its citizens are from around the world, and that's been like that for many years now.  Certainly, a town like London, ON is very "cosmo" than say Baton Rouge.  I'm betting that it was someone not born of Canada that threw that peel.

You raise a good point, President Fredo, where exactly were you during the time period during and after the attack?  Before you went to Vegas to raise election cash and cavort with starlets, I mean.

Any person who is only concerned with ensuring that  "his people" - who represent only 12% of the US population - get justice  (from the meanies who make up the other 88%), isn't deserving of my respect.

202 Will Nothing Ever be done about this corrupt regime? I am screaming! Now Holder is saying there will be NO special counsel to investigate! Is that just the final word???

203 I haven't read all the comments, but the "respect" theme is a racial dog whistle, coming from the guy who literally carries a race card ("remember that you're black") in his wallet. yes. Just like people who insist you say "PRESIDENT Obama. As though the left didn't go around referring to the previous president by his middle initial.

Still amazed how these people figured out that as long as you have enough people in the senate that are zealots for your cause you can create a tyranny. 

Holder recuses himself at some time on some day for some reason, but of course didn't put it in writing.

Under that standard, no one ever has to answer any questions whatsoever.  I have to give it to them.  Its a brilliant form of lawlessness.

211 (CBS News) Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a note claiming responsibility for the April 13 attack on the Boston Marathon, reports CBS News senior correspondent John Miller. Sources tell Miller that Tsarnaev wrote the note in the boat he was hiding in as police pursued him, and as he bled from gunshot wounds sustained in an earlier shootout between police and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The note, scrawled with a pen on the interior wall of the cabin, said the bombings were retribution for U.S. military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, and called the Boston victims collateral damage in the same way Muslims have been in the American-led wars. "When you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims," the note added. Dzhokar said he didn't mourn older brother Tamerlan, the other suspect in the bombings, writing that by that point, Tamerlan was a martyr in paradise -- and that he expected to join him there.

219 <i>We need to get beyond this imperial government we've created and back to a small “r” republican form where people who temporarily hold office don’t consider themselves a distinct and separate class above the real power in this country…the citizens.</i>

While I agree with what you are saying generally, I'm not sure we (or any nation) ever really had elected representatives who did not feel they were above the electorate.  That is exactly why the founders sought at every turn to limit gov't power and created co-equal branches in the hope that each branch would keep the others from getting too high and mighty.

by creating a vast system of agencies run by the executive, we really have moved way beyond that now.  They really are not co-equal branches any longer.  I think the real first step in limiting the size and scope of gov't is to make radical chances in how agencies are created, funded, and run as well as when and how they are allowed to enact regulations.

A big problem with our agency system of gov't is that elected representatives are happy to push everything off to the Agencies (which all actually report to the executive).  In this way, if an agency does something the congressman's constituents don't like, the congressman can blame the agency and pretend to have nothing to do with it.  It absolves the elected officials of responsibility for an enormous portion of what the gov't does. 

And, it even gives the executive cover.  Executives can always pretend not to know what an agency is doing and someone from the Agency can always be a fall guy. 

So, multiple layers between gov't action and accountability.

In my mind, for starters, every agency regulation should require an affirmative vote of congress to come into effect.  And every agency should have zero-line budgeting and each agencies budget should be considered separately.

Next,each agency IG should be appointed by congress and not the president and should serve at congress's (I would actually make this only the house of reps, not the senate) will.  That would provide some checks/balances for agencies.

Of course, it goes without saying that I would eliminate many agencies, reduce the size and scope of others, etc.

EoJ and his wife are deep cover agents being sent to Canada to spy on their govt.  Just like in the show, "The Americans". 

236

Holder doesn't have my respect right now for a very simple reason... he's not a competent lawyer.   His risible testimony that he "recused" himself from the leak investigation that led to obtaining the AP reporters' telephone records demonstrates an astonishing lack of basic legal skills.   Any junior associate in my office would know that you have to get something like that on the record and in writing, period.   Hell, if we get a simple extension on discovery response due dates, we get it in writing.  

 

Either he knew about the DoJ getting the AP reporters' phone records and participated in the violation of their 1st Amendment rights.

 

Or he didn't know about it because he had "recused" himself but didn't get it in writing.   (Perhaps it was a telepathic mental recusal.   "I recused myself.... in my mind!")

 

Or more likely he didn't know about it because he, like Obama, simply isn't actively managing the people under him.

 

Either way, he's got to go.

I will be  living here at least until I retire.  If I'm going to be living  here that long, I want to do so with the full rights available to me as a citizen, including who represents my tax dollars in Parliament.

 

Besides, my  people were kicked out of here in 1755, so it's time for some payback.

 

As far as the snowblower issue, I WILL NOT go another winter without one.   I have a feeling  we're going into a cycle of harsher winters and my kids aren't big enough yet to do all the digging.

241 And while weÂ’re on lack of respect, letÂ’s look at what Holder said to Congressman Darrell Issa shortly before whinging about respect. Whinging? I didn't know you were British, Drew...

242 Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in!

243

"Holder said Issa’s questioning at the hearing was “too consistent with the way in which you conduct yourself as a member of the Congress."

 

By this phrasing, Holder is signalling to his allies in the media to attack Issa ad hominem, using the trope they have promoted of Issa as a bully.  You can almost hear him thinking "C'mon guys, do I have to write the damned smear articles for you?"

244

"Â…whining about a lack of respect."

He did the exact same thing back when he played Detective Ron Harris.

245 Better Cartman: I am a citizen, and you will respect my ahhhh-thor-it-tae!

246

Mr. Holder, and I use the word Mr. loosely.

 

Years ago as a young man I had a very demanding job. My boss would drill into my head, "Respect is earned, not given".

You fucking slobbering piece of shit. What have you done to deserve respect? Black panther voter intimidation, fast & furious, AP wire taps. Hey buddy go fuck yourself.

247 Respect is also earned, not given.

What, exactly, has this particular shitstain done to EARN respect given his complicity in Waco, the Marc Rich pardon, Fast And Furious, etc.?

248 I'm pretty sure that a contempt-of-court ruling against you is a finding that you have treated the court with contempt, not a statement that the court has contempt for *you*.
