You're Kidding, Right?

Tell me you're kidding? I mean, really, Mr. Attorney General Holder? Really? You've been whoring yourself around, mouthing off and trash-talking like some two-bit race-hustler Al Sharpton wannabe and you haven't even bothered to gather the most basic facts? You haven't even read the law?

"I've just expressed concerns on the basis of what I've heard about the law. . . not having read the law . . ."

Nope, I guess not. But seriously, why should I expect anything more? You're an Affirmative Action baby, just like your boss.

But, not. You're the man our President has chosen to lead the Justice Department. Really? You're the top law enforcement official in the Federal Government and you've been criticizing this law and impugning the motives of the people who passed and support this law and you can't be bothered to read a 10-page law?

Wow.

All snark aside, this little episode is very revealing about the character of Mr. Holder. First, he has told us he is a demagogue. He has no problem making uninformed snap judgments about important legal issues. He has no problem impugning the motives of his fellow citizens based on nothing more than his ignorant prejudices. That's important to know.

But more than that any of that, Mr. Holder has revealed a uniquely "entitled" mindset. He's told us that he has NO PROBLEM telling the entire country that he hasn't performed the most basic tasks required of his job. It's his JOB to inform himself about important legal issues. It's his JOB to enforce laws. It his JOB to be a role model for law enforcement officials around the country. It's his job to be a leader, to offer guidance, to exercise wisdom and discretion. And here he is, on Capitol Hill, telling the entire country that he hasn't done his job. That's entitlement.
