my first brief conversation with Eric Holder’s soul

me:  “Wow. You are even blacker than I’d thought possible.”*

Eric Holder’s soul:  “And you, sir, are a racist.”

me:  “No, you misunderstand me. I meant ‘blacker’ in the sense that you as a soul are even more dark, rotten, riddled with deceit and devoid of conscience than I could have imagined. The color is really only emblematic, a kind of conventional referent –”

Eric Holder’s soul:  “– Got it:  Black is emblematic of rot, deceit, hate, cynicism, and sociopathology.  And I’m sure in your mind it likes it some watermelon too.  And gangster rap music.  And can tap dance like Mr Bojangles.  Do I have that about right?”

me:  “In the context of souls, yes, black invokes all those things — though I don’t think the watermelon or rap music or Bonjangles references are germane.”

Eric Holder’s soul:   “Of course you don’t.  Because you are a racist who can’t see his own racism.  Which unfortunately is typical of many of today’s most dangerous racists.  And nearly universal in of all you white devils, particularly those of you on the right who continue to harass me and the President and Ms Rice because we’re of color.  But let me tell you:  you won’t punish my people.  Not on my watch.”*

me:

Eric Holder’s soul:

me:

Eric Holder’s soul:

me:

Eric Holder’s soul:  “What?”

me:  “Nothing.  Just waiting to see if there was any such thing as irony lightning.  Which evidently there is not.”

    I await my Senator’s advice as to the purpose of laws before leaping to any conclusions, Goldstein.

  2. Libby says:

    Eric Holder’s soul: Coward!

  3. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I imagine Eric Holder’s soul to be very tiny and to speak in a high pitched sort of a squeek.

  4. Libby says:

    I suppose you’d have to check with the Devil himself on that one, since he surely has gotten Holder to sign over his soul in exchange for achieving (and keeping) such power. Oh, and for getting away with killing a coupla hundred Mexicans with his Fast and Furious scheme.

  5. geoffb says:

    This could fit as a comment in any of the three posts up today. It is about the “Shield Law.”

    It has a meeting of the mob families called by the Godfather to settle a war which is spiraling out of control.

    And it informs us that Eric Holder has a soul and is searching it for something or other.

    [Holder] “While both of these cases were handled within the law and according to Justice Department guidelines,” … “they are reminders of the unique role the news media plays in our democratic system, and signal that both our laws and guidelines need to be updated.” He added, “This is an opportunity for the department to consider how we strike the right balance between the interests of law enforcement and freedom of the press.”

    To begin the process of recalibrating that balance, Holder is initiating a dialogue with representatives of major media organizations. Invitations go out today, with the first meeting taking place possibly as early as this week. Holder’s aides say he is encouraging a no-holds-barred conversation with the goal of updating and strengthening DOJ guidelines. But Holder’s own personal soul searching has already begun, with, among other things, the question of why he signed off on an affidavit that in retrospect he believed may have crossed the line.

    As an explanation, if not a justification, Justice officials say that the department’s leadership had come under withering pressure to investigate leaks from both within the intelligence community and Congress. On multiple occasions, Holder fielded calls from the CIA director and other top officials demanding leak investigations.

  6. JHoward says:

    …the question of why he signed off on an affidavit that in retrospect he believed may have crossed the line.

    All that stupid shit we got busted for as kids in retrospect we believed may have crossed the line.

    The question is why why he signed off on an affidavit that in retrospect he believed may have crossed the line is considered a rational fucking narrative.

    Holder’s Regrets and Repairs

    How the attorney general feels about his own role in the Fox News case—and how he plans to prevent it from happening again.

    Oh. Never mind.

  7. sdferr says:

    That Holder would pervert the intentions of his civil rights forebears, even those of his self-identified sort, isn’t surprising at all, nor is it surprising that he would fail to recognize his perversion of their intentions, being as he merely substitutes his own for theirs without regard to ever bothering to ponder their intentions — how could he know what he doesn’t know, after all?

  8. BigBangHunter says:

    – No Howard. Not nevermind. Never nevermind. Thats what the gestoppo is trying for. Enough smoke and mirrors and cognitive dissonant statements that no one can make any sense of, hoping everyone will just give up in disgust and walk away. Fuck them. Keep hammering their asses til they have no where left to hide.

  9. JHoward says:

    Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and given him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the new wonderful good society which shall now be Rome’s, interpreted to mean more money, more ease, more security, and more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.

    -Marcus Tullius Cicero

  10. SBP says:

    Looking forward to seeing Holder doing the perp walk.

    It won’t happen, but I’m still looking forward to it.

  11. Darleen says:

    To begin the process of recalibrating that balance, Holder is initiating a dialogue with representatives of major media organizations.

    Yeah, let’s see that list.

    Kabuki theater, nothing more, because the “major media” organizations need an excuse to re-don their Lewinsky knee-pads and have dissenting, upstart, media wiped out by the Leviathan.

  12. BigBangHunter says:

    – Don’t be so sure of that SBP. There is nothing and no one that Bumblefuck and his closest cadre won’t throw under the bus to protect the Wonce and a half.

    – If the perjury charges have legs holder is toast.

  13. leigh says:

    I request that the phrase “Kabuki Theatre” be banned.

  14. leigh says:

    Issa subpoenas Kerry.

  15. LBascom says:

    Gotta come up with an alternative for consideration first leigh.

  16. BigBangHunter says:

    – That should be good for a few laughs. We’ll all get to hear what the DoJ did and said before they did and said the opposite. Either that or Maybe one of the Congress criters can ask him how he’s doing on locating his form DDS180. What a pethetic joke we’ve become.

  17. leigh says:

    I’m working on it, Lee.

  18. Ouroboros says:

    Nope.. Apparently HaShem gave up the whole ‘irony lightning’ thing a while ago.. about the time the Protestants took over.

    A pity.. a vengeful G-d would so come in handy these days.

    Otherwise, brilliant dialogue, Jeff.

  19. BigBangHunter says:

    – What will break the back of this Choom gang in the WH, including fearless Leader, is if one of the upper eschelon crooks gets tired of being used as a tool for the bullshit narrative and Utopia pie in the sky and decides to simply rat out the whole mess.

    – How many lying balls can the WH politboro keep aloft until one falls and the whole house of cards comes crashing down. Don;t know, but maybe someone should consult with Nixons ghost.

  20. LBascom says:

    maybe someone should consult with Nixons ghost.

    Better to ask Vince Foster’s ghost.

    Eric Holder’s Soul: You like a wuss. I’m going to keep pissing on you.

    Me: Shit.

    Eric Holder’s Soul: No shitting on you is your own party’s job.

    Sentator McCain : Piss in his eyes! I want to see the little hairy footed wacko bird crying! Nobody disrespects my daughter.

    Eric Holder’s Soul and Me in unsion: HA! EVERYONE DISRESPECTS YOUR DAUGHTER!

    Senator McCain : Oh…Fuck you!

    Obama: I already fucked everybody enough for one day McCain. Got to save something for tomorrow. Sheesh.

    I request that the phrase “Kabuki Theatre” be banned.

    I’ve been trying to push the GOP as “the party of Noh”, but it won’t catch on…

  25. BigBangHunter says:

    – Lee Harvey….where are you now that we need you.

  26. leigh says:

    I like that mondamay. In fact, I was going to suggest that in my original post and thought I might be reaching.

    It’s settled. I’m going with Party of Noh.

  27. BigBangHunter says:

    – Well we’ve certainly become the Land of Nim, so it fits Leigh.

  28. palaeomerus says:

    Drum, flutes, masks and Japanese wailing? The party of HELL Noh (maybe).

  29. BigBangHunter says:

    – Its just precious the way the WH is keeping Bumblefuck “busy” these days. The latest is his roundelay with his fat-fuck lover in NJ. *spit*

  30. Darleen says:

    sorry, leigh, if the phrase is over-used, but when the f**k do “journalists” cozy up with the White House to discuss the acceptable ways for the President to tell them what is fit to print?

  31. dicentra says:

    Gotta come up with an alternative for consideration first leigh.

    Noh Theater

    Théâtre de l’absurde

    Ionesco

  32. leigh says:

    Darleen, I propose that we begin calling “journalists” reporters again, “educators” teachers and “attorneys”lawyers again until they show the proper respect for us, the Great Unwashed.

    Sadly, reporters have been on the payroll at the WH since the days of the broadsheets. They just have a larger venue now with cable tv and twitter.

  33. leigh says:

    Well we’ve certainly become the Land of Nim, so it fits Leigh.

    Boy howdy. Ain’t that the truth, BBH?

  34. dicentra says:

    I see my clever mention of the other traditional Japanese theater form has come too late to be original.

    Blast you all for your perspicacity!

  36. SBP says:

    I get the comparisons with Nixon (of which there have been a lot lately) but there is one major difference between RMN and BHO: Nixon was competent to hold the office.

  37. sdferr says:

    A more contemporary designation might be the Firesign Theater, which could plausibly claim We’re All Bozos On This Bus when speaking of “simulated exhilaration”.

  38. Slartibartfast says:

    Ever wonder how nishi is taking all of this? I do.

    And I am chuckling, a little, gleefully, while I wonder.

  39. BigBangHunter says:

    – We are now being treated, or totured, take you pick, with long winded opiniom pieces temporizing Holder/DoJ/SecState, IRS, as being sorrowful, but just maybe over zealous in trying to do a good job for America.

    – Its all patent bullshit.

    – In the end, all of these intimidation programs were aimed at one thing, dragging Bumblefuck safely across the finish line, and they all think they’ve won.

    – We’ll see.

  40. dicentra says:

    Think of it as Cosmic Consciousness, di. Great Minds Thinking Alike, and all that.

    More like an echo chamber. :-)

  41. dicentra says:

    Ever wonder how nishi is taking all of this? I do.

    With the same dose of denial, lack of self-reflection, and moral vacuity as she always has.

  42. RI Red says:

    Aw, Jeff, quit with the fiction, already. Everyone knows that Holder doesn’t have a soul.

    And anyway… Sandy!

  44. charles w says:

    Red, he has a soul. Its just that it is in the union and had that day off.

  45. serr8d says:

    Heh. When I first spotted the post’s title, I read “my brief conversation with Eric Holder’s cunt.”

    Don’t know why, but that made more sense than the notion he has a soul.

  46. BigBangHunter says:

    – More logs on the fire.

    – Apparently he was sorrowful after he wasn’t. Maybe him and Kerry studied under the same Marxist tutor.

  47. mojo says:

    Eric Holder: Satan’s pillow-biter

  48. Eric Holder’s soul is contained in a decanter on Screwtape’s dining table.

    For those occasions when garlic just doesn’t offer the desired kick.

  49. Squid says:

    More logs on the fire.

    On the one hand, I hate autoplay, and I especially hate autoplay that advances straight to the next video. On the other hand, the Breitbart site went from Obama’s expression of “confidence” in Holder directly to footage of a train wreck.

    Still no irony lightning.

  50. sdferr says:

    With a view to minding his own safety, George Zimmerman refused comment on the state of Eric Holder’s soul.

  51. leigh says:

    Zimmerman’s lawyer needs to ask for a new judge. Again. Or make ye olde motion for a mistrial and outright dismissal of all charges right out of the gate.

  52. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Gotta come up with an alternative [to Kabuki theater] for consideration first leigh.

    Noh Theater

    I propose pantomime justice.

  53. leigh says:

    I believe that’s covered under Kangaroo court.

  54. Ernst Schreiber says:

    – Lee Harvey….where are you now that we need you.

    Even as a rueful, despairing joke, that doesn’t work. Kennedy was far more useful to the Left in death than he ever was in life.

  55. Ernst Schreiber says:

    What are all these hearing about, if not justice?

    Note: political advantage may be the de facto answer, but it shouldn’t be the de jure one.

  56. serr8d says:

    Barack Obama was groomed for this, a stealth agent. Even some liberals are starting to pause.

  57. RI Red says:

    Charlesw @ 1:43, I’m thinking you may be right about the union soul, but Holder’s has one of those “no-show” jobs.

  58. BigBangHunter says:

    – “Shovel ready excuses”?

  59. RI Red says:

    Leigh @12:13, sorry, I’m late to the party as usual.
    In the same vein as retiring “kabuki theatre”, can we retire the word “outrage”? That one wore out from extreme overuse.

    “Eric Holder’s soul”

    Objection, your Honor. Assumes facts not entered into evidence.

  64. Gulermo says:

    This from Serr8d”s link:

    “Conservatives try to increase economic liberty but show less regard for civil liberties.”

    This is one of those chicken/egg thingees, isn’t it?

    Because, as we all kn0w, Conservatives “show less regard for civil liberty”. Liberty is all about the display of something/something really important.

  65. Gulermo says:

    “Liberals care deeply about civil liberties while trying to restrict the economic kind.”

    Evidenced by the tepid response to the IRS scandal, I assume, or any number of other “civil” issues in the last seven years, for that matter. If I had to guess it would be that certain groups have “civil liberties”, while other groups, not so much.
