- SENATE CONFIRMS HOLDER IN HISTORIC HISTORY VOTE: The Senate voted 75-21 tonight to confirm Establishment Washington lawyer Eric Holder as “the new Alberto Gonzales.” Eric Holder is black, making him the first Marc-Rich-Pardon-Clearing Attorney General in American history. Let’s celebrate by waterboarding Michael Mukasey! [Washington Post]

So far as we know he also owes no back taxes.
Yea, Eric!
It will be a truly historic moment when, under interrogation by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Atty Gen Holder replies, “I can’t recall, mo fo!”
Before we waterboard Mukasey, I say we do Rove. Tell him he’s being baptized.
I would like to celebrate every special public occasion in future by waterboarding some member of the Bush administration. That’s change I can believe in!
[re=234594]chascates[/re]: What is it about these people not paying their taxes? I worry if I don’t have receipts for the Sunday School supplies I buy out of pocket, and these fuckers just blow off paying their taxes. Hell, when I hired a housekeeper in Seattle, I even paid her payroll taxes–my share, and hers.
Why do I not have a fancy appointment? Because, you know, I’m an old fashioned liberal and fucking honest and consider it an honor to live in America and am glad to pay my taxes to help keep our country humming along.
I am so much better, morally, than these motherfuckers. (Please don’t tell my little Sunday school chilluns I said that).
Or am I just a fucking dope?
[re=234606]DustBowlBlues[/re]: You’re not a dope. It’s just that only we little people pay taxes. The Super Rich don’t even have to pay and the Merely Rich just blow it off.
HOORAY! Back to breaking laws again! That’s the A.G.’s job, right? Er, also?
I am told that his middle name is “Scrotum”. Please confirm.
Can we have a law against non-Rastafarians calling each other “brah?” Please?
And regarding taxes and our ‘betters’:

Senator John Cornyn (R. Tex-Food Court in a Houston Mall), in casting his negative vote, commented, “And for this we fought the War of Northern Agression against the Negroes? What’s next? A dago or some goddam woman?” Standing well to the side, Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson chimed in with words of agreement.
Here’s hoping hearty Republican Sen. Judd Gregg proves more immune to the tax evasion Super Bug infecting his Democratic counterparts!

Hurrah! This makes Attorney General Holder the highest-ranking African-American in the US gove- …what?…oh!… oh yeah, duh…ummm, never mind….

(American Enterprise Institute) Treasonous, Pro-Taliban, Republican Vermont Senator Accepts US Commerce Post. Immediately Declares Sharia Law. “A Whore Woman Without A Veil May Never Hold Ownership In A White Castle.” Mitch McConnell Agrees With The Declaration, But Still Gets All Annoyed, Menses Upset About The Appointment. Confirmation Unsure.
Hey look, a guy who describes torture as torture. Scariest refreshing change ever.
[re=234647]Tra[/re]: As former United STates Attorney General, the Honorable Alberto Gonzales said in his recent NPR interview about Holder’s Senate confirmation hearing conclusions about torture, one should never be too quick to jump the gun or the waterboard, pussy.
That was a paraphrase.
Holder’s already written an opinion declaring Obama’s WH casual dress code rules “quaint” and his first official acts will be to declare the DOJ a nudist colony, and then to establish “Fellatio Fridays,” to help boost morale and elicit confessions.

Why do we all hate white people??
[re=234606]DustBowlBlues[/re]: Loser.
NPR reported yesterday that Leslie Hagen, the woman fired by Monica Goodling because it was rumored that she was a lesbian, was rehired. They also said that her job, which was renewed from year to year, is now permanent.
