The Rumors Of Our Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

Yet Another Clinton Retread

-By The Reluctant Republican

holder Newsweek today reported that yet another retread from the Clinton years has been tapped for the Obama administration (full story here). Eric Holder was announced today as Obama’s choice for Attorney general. Additionally, there is speculation that still another ex-Clinton staffer, Elena Kagan, will be named as Deputy Attorney General. Holder served as the Deputy Attorney general under Janet Reno and is perhaps best known for his opposition to the death penalty and his involvement in the Presidential pardon issued by Bill Clinton to Mark Rich. (Rich had fled the country and had been  living abroad after he was charged with tax evasion and making illegal oil deals with Iran during the Iranian hostage crisis; indictments that were served by then U.S. Attorney Rudy Giuliani. Rich’s former wife had given substantial contributions to the Democratic party and to the foundation that was to build the Clinton Library.) I am simply amazed by the sheer number of ex-Clinton people that team Obama is pulling aboard.

    Don't get your hopes up, RR. I have yet to meet a liberal who is willing to engage me in intelligent, logical debate. In fact, I have only met one who understood the issues and could clearly articulate why he voted for Obama (and he was an attorney). I didn't agree with his opinion, but respected the consistency and thoughtfulness of his position. It is the inconsistency, lack of substance and general ignorance of most liberals that bothers me. Scott's response was a perfect example of what I mean.
  • This blog is unintentionally hilarious! You're a simpleton, a dullard, a dimwit...and I'm sooo entertained! Here's to the "shady"- friend-havin', "European" lookin' President...btw, do you know how to use the auto spell-check on your site? Try it; you're embarrassing yourself.
  • I'm glad you find the site entertaining, even if not for the reasons intended. If you would like to have a reasonable discourse about substantive issues on the site or would simply like to make comments about our posts you are welcome to do so. However, in so doing, please be respectful. Simple name calling is not useful to anyone. Additionally, I'd be more than happy to use my "simpleton" logic and my dim wits to debate you on the topic of your choice. For future reference, comments that consist of nothing more than a string of insults will be deleted.
