‘Maybe that’s how you do things in Idaho or wherever you’re from’

Eric Holder just said that to Representative Raúl Labrador, who is, in fact, from Idaho.

In fairness, he was responding to a grandstanding presentation on Labrador’s part in which the representative cobbled together testimony from Holder going back ten years to establish a “pattern” of Holder saying, in effect, “I don’t know” in testimony.

With respect to causing a government official's death, in efforts to hail into court law abiding citizens you don't like, in order to rob all such citizens of their fundamental liberties:

Obviously, Holder, that's how you and your boss learned to do things in Chicago.

In efforts to hide your complicity in 1st degree murder of a government agent, if you are now 100% committed to Operation Nose Guard, you may wish to not lead with your chin.

Or, simply tighten the strap on your helmet, tough guy.

Because, Mr. Atty. General, out there "wherever" is where they do silly, backwards stuff, right? You know, like that clinging to their guns and their religion and stuff like that?

Of course, if the Atty General and his minions had CLUNG to guns instead of WALKING them, there'd be good people alive today who are not.

The contempt of this administration and their elitism is, perhaps, the best election campaign weapon we have against them. It can sometimes be hard to explain economics or even the byzantine intricacies of the gunwalking fiasco...but everyone knows when a smartass elitist snob with an attitude is dissing them, their family, their values, their religion, and their way of life...and will never, ever willingly vote to have them be put in charge.

With a name like Labrador you might think he's from Canada, but he actually was born in Puerto Rico.

Labrador is my congressman. The last election pitted an incumbant anglo blue-dog Democrat versus a conservative Latino Republican, with Labrador the winner. This gives the lie to the myth of people in Idaho being racist hicks.
