Michael Steele
said on Roe and Roeper yesterday that the whole F&F obfuscation is smokescreen to keep focus off the economy.
He may very well be right: might I suggest to the dorks in DC, and what minuscule media we can influence: It’s the economy, stupid. Stop fucking with thise deck chairs. After we win the election we can clean Holder’s clock for him, preferably involving rope.
Update: From comments at John Venlet’s pace, just so it doesn’t get lost:
The mainstrem media has been touting the “recovery” for ages now, and won’t stop. Even when it’s obviously in the toilet, they still use the word “Recovery”, as in ‘Stalled recovery” or “Slow recovery” so as to make sure all the apparatchiks know that it is, in fact, a recovery, and that it is Obama’s recovery. As far as they’re concerned, things are going well, and always have been.
Indeed, all the conservative outlets have been doing as they have been instructed and ignoring the economy in favor of the Holder story, and the white house will keep waving that red herring as long as it gets play. Last several days it has been all Holder, all the time, and not one commentator has said bubkhis about the economy.
By now Holder et al would have had plenty of time to hide whatever they had that was incriminating. What has happened, I’m willing to bet, is they have found some feeble and tenuous link back to the previous administration, somehow. And it will be released at the moment when they can use the media thats completely in the tank for them to make all of conservatism look petty and partisan.
In the meantime, it’s doing exactly what the White House wants it to do, which is to make conservatives see red and completely ignore the Economy, which is what will get Obama thrown out.
I’m all for seeing justice done, and I’m all for seeing these people lined up against a wall, and the more the merrier. We have to keep our eye on the first principle, which is to get rid of Wingnuthead. Once that is done, we can leisurely drive Holder and his clan into the ground, and hopefully really pressure him to take as many with him as he can. If we don’t concentrate now, on getting rid of Obama, this will never, ever happen.

The CNN marionettes are saying that the republicans are using it to distract for their own lack of performance on the economy.
people’s unfounded opinions are reported as “news” and no one cares.
The Clintoon news Network has never exactly been hinged properly.
Yesterday daughterofasonfagun the younger was sitting opposite me in deli looking at CNN. She alerts me to DNC Chair D. hyphenated-Schultz saying that the administration had to come clean on F&F. The closed-captioning confirmed. With my neck being as stiff as it is, I literally almost fell out of my chair. Witnessing the Rats at long last, initial reaction or no, to desert a shipping sink, was quite a head turner.
Why can’t we cover both F&F and the crappy economy? Multiple points-of-attack divide enemy forces.
Because this is a trap, mark my words.
This sounds like African politics…
Create diversion while you carry on looting the place.
Hillary is waiting in the wings. rings whole new meaning to when the fat lady sings.
I wish we could get a do over on Viet Nam. Started by a democrat, but it damn near killed the republicans.
Michael Steele? Really?
The fact that he still has microphones put in front of him on a regular basis just furthers my belief that the GOP is trying to throw this election.
Seriously, one look at the finalists in the primaries and any ref in the NFL would have thrown a flag for intentional grounding.
“GOP is trying to throw this election”
isn’t that what they always do?
Was that a trick question?
As far as I’m concerned this is no different than the gay marriage/whatever deck chair arranging that goes on anytime the Left decides to make it an issue. The GOP clearly can’t ever do more than one thing at a time, and that not well.
The tinfoil in my beanie makes me look at the handful of GOP candidates who, love ’em or hate ’em, could have beaten Obama like a drum and ask “What do they know that I don’t?”
Looking at what’s coming down the pipe globally, I’m convinced that only a fool or a narcissist could want the job for the next four years, which goes a lot toward explaining the choices on offer this time ’round.
“which goes a lot toward explaining the choices on offer every single election”
There, I fixed it for you.
