   And it’s not like those Mexican gangsters wouldn’t have found guns somewhere to commit all those murders. If they were going to get them anyway, why does it matter that they got them from an agency of the United States Department of Justice instead of some lowlife criminal operation?

   Excuse me. Inigo Montoya says he wants to talk to me about what “instead” means.

   “Have you no shame, you so-called reporters and journalists? Have you no shame at all?”

   I think we know that the answer is, “No.”

   I’m sure there is a reported or two out there with shame, I mean there ‘s like a zillion of them, right? The odds say a couple gotta be decent human beings.

   A better question I think is, “have you no soul, you propagandist media moguls and the editors you employ?”

   Twice as many dead as the Oklahoma City Bombing. Four times that of Waco. Change you can believe in indeed.

   Some dummy in the Tapper thread wrote “If @jaketapper keeps asking tough questions of the #Obama administration, he may save @ABC as a legitimate news organization.”

   Save ABC? That strikes me as absurd. He might ‘save’ his own integrity as a seeker of truth (which I’m sorry to say I tend to doubt even now), but that of itself can’t do much at all for the far larger, more complex corporate institution.

    Which poses the problem of the value of a katana when one’s opponents are already brainless automata to begin with.

    Juan: “People die.” (What’s the big deal?)

    Juan totally lost my grudging respect for him with that remark.

    Well placed Mr. Whittle!

    This is a good example of why I consider it a blessing that HHQ hasn’t assigned me to the DC AOR.

    I don’t know if I could refrain from employing a dose of battlefield justice to like’s of Mr. Holder if I were to run into him.

    John Hinderacker adds some thoughts to his viewing of the Whittle piece, among which:

    One additional point not directly relevant to Bill Whittle’s analysis is worth keeping in mind. The administration has so far produced only a tiny number of documents relating to Fast and Furious–fewer than 8,000 pages, a number that would include duplicates. Moreover, Darrell Issa’s Oversight Committee is pressing its subpoena with respect to a category of documents that is also very small–internal DOJ documents that post-date February 4, 2011, and relate to DOJ’s responses to Congress’s inquiries about the program. Therefore, it is likely that even after the Obama administration’s privilege claim has been overruled and the handful of documents now sought by the House have been made public, we still will not have definitive evidence of the reasons why the Obama administration launched the Fast and Furious program in the first place.

    It’s still possible to vent a guffaw or two when pretentious morons like A.B. Stoddard unselfconsciously deliver their absurd Catch-22 analyses of the politics of the progress of the Fast and Furious investigation. I think it won’t be too long when even that tiny bit of mirth will be denied anyone who takes the matter seriously.

    I’m glad it’s not just me who finds Ms. Stoddard stuffy and pretentious. She always has an air of gracing us with her presence when she is part of a panel.

    How about this for gobsmackingly vile?

    This is a horrible case of entrapment and what’s worse is that they are accusing the family of doing what the feds did in Operation Fast and Furious and NO ONE IS BEING PROSECUTED in that case!

    We need to pray that the Reese family is exonerated and that the feds are forced to replace all of their possessions, guns, ammunition, house, cars, bank accounts, coin collection and pay for wrongful imprisonment. If anyone belongs in jail for gun walking, it’s Eric Holder, not the Reese family.

    Disgusting.

    Regarding the spin about F&F starting under Bush, has anybody asked why Holder et al would hold back evidence incriminating the previous administration? It’s not like these guys don’t operate within a “Blame Bush” framework.
