Fox was way late on this one. I am enjoying watching Holder squirm and say "I don't know" ten thousand times today.
Why would anyone expect Holder to answer any differently when he's being asked about an investigation in which he recused himself? Granted I don't waste much of my time surveying House hearings and testimony but I wouldn't have expected anything different than what we got. I knew beforehand that my old boss (Chairman Goodlatte) would burn his five minutes on asking questions that everyone knows there are no answers to yet, that's what he always does. Prepare yourself for many renditions of "Uh uh, uh, now uh, is this amnesty?" when he chairs the long line of hearings when the House takes up the Senate's immigration bill.
The only worthwhile thing that I saw come out of today's hearing was John Conyers reminding everyone that Darrell Issa voted against the so called "media shield" (Free Flow of Information Act) back in 2007, and the only reason it wasn't there to "protect the AP" during this little episode was that even though the Democratic House passed it 398-21 the Senate Republicans filibustered it to prevent Bush from having to get the blood on his hands by having to veto it.
My Fox reference might have missed: it goes back to the 2008 campaign when Fox and other mouthpieces attacked Obama relentlessly for his answer to a gas prices question that people should keep tire gauges with them to ensure their tires are filled with the optimal level of air so they would use less gas and then would have to pay less for it, up until the point that AAA and NASCAR and everybody else came forward to clear up for Fox what the rest of us found out when we were taught how to drive a car.
