Barack Obama has been president for almost three and a half years and his administration has not had anything remotely resembling a scandal. That’s why the right is reduced to talking about his birth certificate. There really aren’t even any phony scandals. A clean-enregy company went broke after receiving millions of dollars in funding. Big deal. The only thing the right has to hold on to is this stupid Fast and Furious investigation. Admittedly, the Department of Justice gave erroneous information about that program to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. And that committee has now in a party-line vote decided to recommend that Attorney General Eric Holder be held in contempt by the entire House of Representatives.
I didn’t predict this, but I should have. What were the chances that a black attorney general could serve two consecutive years during Republican control of the House without being charged with contempt?
The chances had to be about zero. They started accusing Holder of being a racist before he got his parking assignment at the DOJ. Go to Google and type in “Eric Holder racist” and you get 2,470,000 results. Type in “George Wallace racist” and you get 400,000.
The GOP is a southern party, folks, and not enough has changed.
