CBS's Schieffer Interviews Eric Holder, Ignores Black Panther Case

While devoting all of Sunday's Face the Nation to an interview with Attorney General Eric Holder, CBS host Bob Schieffer failed to ask a single question about the Obama Justice Department dropping a voter intimidation case against the Black Panthers or allegations that the department has adopted a policy of ignoring such cases.

Schieffer discussed a range of topics with Holder, from the federal lawsuit against Arizona's immigration law, to a potential criminal investigation into BP, to the trial of terrorist Khalid Shaik Muhammed and closing Guantanamo Bay. At the end of the interview, Schieffer even asked about Holder's infamous comment that the United States was a "nation of cowards" when it came to discussing race.

That was probably one of the big stipulations that Holder had as the price for getting the interview in the first place.

Bob Schieffer is a multi year winner of the Prestigious Toady Award for the Most Obsequious Media Personality.
Shakespeare referred to people like Toady Mr. Schieffer as ‘Lickspittles’.
Toady Bob Schieffer has been rewarded richly for his ethics.

Bathtub Boy Olbernazi just blamed Bush for not prosecuting the new black panthers. No criticism of Holder or the Emperor for not doing it, though.
