Justice! — and “a harsh indictment of the inner workings” of the Bush White House. Whereas a Congressional panel holding AG Holder in contempt for lying and stonewalling the investigation of a federal operation that led to a number of deaths, including to US Border Patrol agents? A witch hunt. By witch huntery racists looking to hunt witches. And Colin Powell, Jeb Bush, and the rest of the conciliation and

And? If something more comes of this, I’ll be absolutely shocked. I mean, just look at how the WSJ reports on this: White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Mr. Obama’s reasoning was similar to that of former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Mr. Schultz said the other presidents “protected the same category of documents we’re protecting today,” meaning after-the-fact internal materials. It was the first time Mr. Obama

We already know (well, many of us do) that the GOP establishment, with the help of a number of “conservative” bloggers who are more and more becoming a rather slick part of that establishment’s messaging apparatus, are on board with the Big Government / “compassionate conservatism” agenda — to the point where the Bushies and Bill Kristol, to name just a few on the right, defended Obama’s quasi-amnesty overreach; and

Could be that he doesn’t want to tip his hand politically — but more likely he’s waiting for the most up to date polling data to tell him whether or not he should act on his instincts. What those instincts are to be determined, of course, by the most up to date polling data. Pragmatism. Options. Sure beats the hell out of that purity shit, doesn’t it?

This is how the United States of America ends: not with a bang, but with the specter of a giant fucking clown car pulling an unlicensed street taco cart. (h/t bookworm)

Or, put another way, according to the number 3 Democrat, the President has the Constitutional right to rule as a dictator, and the Constitution essentially provides for a complete rejection of the notion of separation of powers the framers put in place to prevent a dictatorial centralized authority of the kind they’d just fought a revolution to free themselves of. — Which, that sounds about right. Just so long as

Yes. And the private sector is doing really rather poorly. I blame Bush. And racism. You?

But what the triumphalist Republican fails to mention as a reason for his state’s successes is its vibrant illegal community — and the fact that the Governor doesn’t have to deal with the vestiges of the George Bush era. Besides, crowing over how your state is doing well while more progressive — and so good and moral and righteous — states like California slide headlong into the fiscal and economic
