Problem w that is it gives a lot more credence to this story, something obama has been downplaying. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.

“Holder will be gone by Christmas”

It’s Fitzmastime. It’s Fitzmastime!

I would replace clueless with communist and that goes for most of academia.

[Verginius Rufus]

Obama is also an alumnus of Columbia University, or so they say.

[bkopto]

Thanks for the correction. That is good news.

Albatross my a$$... Holder has a long history of being a political "black bag man," someone with no conscience, incapable of shame, able to look you right in the eye and continue to lie to your face, even when you know he's lying, and he knows you know. But also knows that he's got protection from on-high, so he doesn't care.

Given the people Obama's surrounded himself with, Holder is quite an asset, not an albatross.

By psychiatric standards, he might be considered a sociopath. But also knows that he's got protection from on-high, so he doesn't care.

Hasn't Columbia repeatedly hosted and feted "Im-a-nut-job" from Iran?

Their celebratory article about this nitwit is yet another example of how clueless Columbia’s faculty and administration are.

Upper West Side ping.

Twice. I personally know 3 alumni donors who have cut them out of their estate planning for that very reason.

They are going to need more than Holder lying about when he found out about the program for him to be gone.

Just IMO. Obama’s inner circle won’t be disbanded unless they find Holder’s name on the documents authorizing the sale of the specific weapon used to kill the border patrol agent.

That won’t happen. These guys are too smart/shifty for that to occur.

Unfortunately I also think Issa has already given Holder too much time to get his ducks in a row as far as a defense. There’s some serious smoke here but they won’t get anywhere - or at least put me in the category of believing something will happen only when I see it and not before.
