Eric Holder left off Blago link from questionnaire

Eric Holder is best known for his role in the controversial pardon of fugitve financier Marc Rich by Bill Clinton.

Now he has Blago problems.

Before Eric Holder was President-elect Barack Obama's choice to be attorney general, he was Gov. Blagojevich's pick to sort out a mess involving Illinois' long-dormant casino license.

Blagojevich and Holder appeared together at a March 24, 2004, news conference to announce Holder's role as "special investigator to the Illinois Gaming Board" -- a post that was to pay Holder and his Washington, D.C. law firm up to $300,000.

Holder, however, omitted that event from his 47-page response to a Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire made public this week -- an oversight he plans to correct after a Chicago Sun-Times inquiry, Obama's transition team indicated late Tuesday.

    When are they going to investigate
    George W. Bush and his brother Jeb?
    Oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't pick on
    innocent republicans! Can't help
    but wonder when the republican
    party will ever be held accountable
    for their misdeeds?! Your guy Bush
    is an idiot, and the reason this
    country is in the hole it's in!

    You are a biggot Mr. Pundit, you
    praise a man like G.W. Bush who has
    helped put this country in the red.
    The Rod Blagojevich scandel is
    kitten play compared to the mess
    your boy George W. is leaving
    behind! Anyone posting a comment
    that doesn't match your views you
    delete, Way to go Mr. Pundit.
    Marathonh8tr had you pegged, you
    truly do SUCK! It's not any
    surprise you're tracking anonymous
    commenters. It kinda defeats the
    purpose of having the anonymous
    option on blog!

  10. Holder has some other potential problems:

    Let's hope the GOP doesn't cave. The idea that since W did some bad things means that other enemies of freedom should get a pass is partisan lunacy.

    Speaking of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder:

    Eric Holder is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.

    George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

    George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

    And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

    Many people know what Bush did.

    And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

    Bush was absolute evil.

    Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

    Bush is a psychological prisoner.

    Bush has a lot to worry about.

    Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

    In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

    I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
