These days, creating satire is hard because the actual news is so ridiculous. Today's cartoon is a case in point. Eric Holder announced that he is resigning as Attorney General, but would serve until his replacement is found. So Hope n' Change thought "wouldn't it be funny to suggest that his replacement might be one of the few people on Earth who is even more of a race-baiting incompetent?!"
But no sooner had we finished the cartoon than we discovered that Al Sharpton is actually working with the White House to help select Holder's successor. An idea so staggeringly bad that it's almost impossible to come up with something worse.
Just kidding! There's already a worse idea floating around out there! After Holder steps down, there are rumors that Barack Obama will nominate him to fill a Supreme Court slot after the president decrees, by executive order, that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has actually been legally dead for years.
Not to overstate the case, but the thought of Eric Holder joining the Supreme Court is about as appealing as a freaking bake sale at Auschwitz. He is a genuinely despicable human being; a racist of the first order, a serial obstructor of justice (and Justice), and a slithering toady who has reached new lows in enabling the illegal and anti-American actions of a rogue president and his party.
Hope n' Change will be glad to see him go - but we'd be a lot happier seeing him go to jail.
Bonus Cartoon: FERG YOU, MR PRESIDENT
Speaking of race-baiting bastards, in his major address before the United Nations, Barack Hussein Obama went to pains (as usual) to proclaim that the United States isn't morally superior to any other country, no matter how backwards and brutal.
"In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe," professor Obama droned, "I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions."
Racial and ethnic tensions unendingly stoked by Obama, Holder, Sharpton and many others for their own political and personal benefit.
To date, there is no proof of police wrongdoing in Ferguson, let alone an epidemic of beheadings, rapes, and mass killings. There is no conceivable moral equivalency. And no excuse for this president's unending denigration of our nation.
So the take-away is that America sucks, but ISIS really, realy sucks?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to say that I couldn't believe my ears when he actually brought up the Ferguson talking points, but I'd be lying. It's easy to believe that our President would take any opportunity on the international stage to badmouth his own country.
But hey, it's the "international reset" that people voted for, right?
And no excuse for this president's unending denigration of our nation.
ReplyDeleteAlthough factually correct Stilton, my view is that there is no excuse for this president....whatsoever.
Massively increased the gulf between the races, possibly destroying any chance of reconciliation?
ReplyDeleteYes Mr. Presnewdebt, YOU did build that.
If nothing else, Barry has torn down the myth of the " strong black man".
Dependent people are NOT strong and proud.
So the black community got that going for it, eh?
Holder WILL be rewarded by his master (the thing hypothetically in the WH). All the work done by MLK and others from the 6O's regarding race relations has been destroyed in the last five years. It is worse now than it ever was but I believe that's part of the traitor in chief's agenda. I'm glad Holder is leaving but, as you say, he'll probably be replaced by someone worse (if that's possible). I wish EVERYONE in DC would resign.!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I wanted to see this racist rot in a jail cell the rest of his pathetic life, it will never happen. He has faithfully done O'Liars dirty work for 6 years, and will be rewarded mightily for setting our country's racial divide issue back 50 years.
ReplyDeleteSo... if Darth Vader Ginsberg retires before Barry-o's finally finished with his reign of terror, Holder might be in like Flynn. But two points: Replacing Ginsberg with Eric the Black really won't change the SCOTUS much; just swapping one anti-American asswipe with another. Point two, in today's "Democrats running scared" environment in Congress, I'm not convinced Holder would survive the confirmation hearings, especially if the Republicans don't blow it again and actually gain control of the Senate.
I dunno.... then again, what if a judge like Clarence Thomas quits or dies, and Reid is still running the show over at the Senate?
The timing of Holder's leaving is quite suspicious with the November elections so close. Not that I would ever accuse the most transparent Administration in history of having ulterior motives.
ReplyDeleteAs far as him becoming a Supreme Court Justice, there still is that little matter of his being the first AG ever to be charged with Contempt of Congress - a charge he must still answer to even if he no longer holds that position. That, along with the Fast & Furious documents he must turn over next month, could make him a very hard sell for congress to approve him for the SCOTUS.
Perhaps his resignation is meant to give Øbama the chance to say the Republicans are again blocking progress when they refuse to accept whatever scumbag he comes up with in the next few weeks to replace Holder. Holding that over congress' and the American voter's heads could be just enough to let the Dems keep control of the Senate.
Good riddance to Eric Holdhispencildik, maybe he can go on the speaking circuit in Zimbabwe.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Ruth Buzzi Ginsturd, there are Amazonian cannibals that can finally give her some actual beneficial use. I REALLY wouldn't be surprised if lamont appointed HIMSELF to SCOTUS, and made himself Chief inJustice!
Holy CRAP... can I survive two more years of this bovine exhaust?
On the bright side -- with enough crafty parliamentary maneuvers by the current senate Republicans -- and solid investigations by anyone in the press/blogosphere it could well be a year or more before a replacement could be found and approved (and perhaps the first pick or two could crash and burn, for good effect) ... and then there'd only 1 year to get Holder into the Supreme Court and would still require a departing judge (oops, one had a car wreck!, ahem) -- and then the same stall tactics -- and I'm not so sure Obama will get much chance to screw up much more.
ReplyDeleteIf Holder is kept a year - that's just one year for a new AG -- he'd be more placeholder than could be active. And surely a court appointment could be held off while the nation is at war ...
Well, it's a bright side, anyway, and I try to find them ...
My only question about his resignation was "What took him so long?"
ReplyDeleteIMO Holder would never get through the confirmation process for SCOTUS. Even the senate dems would have enough common sense (and fear of having their vote held against them in the next election) to prevent that. Say what you will about obama, but I think he's smart enough to realize that a prolonged confirmation battle might just unearth what House subpenas haven't been able to.
As for the Ferguson = ISIS bullsh*t, I have come to expect nothing less from barry. Sadly, he never disappoints...
@Jim H - "crafty parliamentary maneuvers by the current senate Republicans"?!?!
ReplyDeleteYou DO look for the bright side, don't you.
Ahhh, Barry, he never fails to disappoint. I suppose we can expect the next 2 years to be as filled with "bovine exhaust" (loved that phrase Bruce)as the last 6 have been.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think his resignation is another Wizard of Ozbama magic trick. "Look, see what I'm doing about the AG nomination! Pay no attention to what that man behind the curtain is doing." Believe me Barry is up to something.... again!!!
On the bright side, the Border Patrol has proven their worth by busting a smuggling operation at the Canadian Border. Now 51 illegals face deportation or the threat of becoming soup:

Is that a turtle in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
Doc, when you're you're good, you're good. And when you're bad, you're good. And Doc, today, you're great.
ReplyDeleteI think I just confused myself - again.
@CenTexTim ... when one comes from so far down the pecking order ... there's only a bright side :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it take just one Senator to put a hold on a nomination? Surely there's one! Yes? hmm.
Stilton-This is my first attempt at a comment here, even though I have followed HnC for some time. These two pieces are over the top funny! Thank you for managing to lampoon a subject that is a joke to begin with!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fairly obvious the resignation was timed to have confirmation hearings for the successor during the lame duck Congress when a bunch of outgoing criminals, er, Senators will still be large and in charge and can get in the next piece of crap without resistance.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the absolute impossibility that It hadn't already picked a new AG before this announcement was orchestrated, the only valid question is (as with all of Its maneuvering): what fresh hell is this?
ReplyDeleteWeiner / Holder 2016!
ReplyDeleteOK... old joke....
@Shelly,
Yes, the timing is there for Eric the Black the slip quietly away avoiding prosecution (well, in his mind anyway), and having his spotless name tarnished (also in his mind). I just pray that when those F&F documents are finally delivered, the FBI shows up at Holder's mansion and physically drags his sorry ass out in cuffs in front of about 47 national network cameras. It'd be fun watching Chrissy Tingles wet his pants over that one.
Hey, I can dream, can't I?
@Stilton from Wednesday's post, So glad you knew the bangedy-bang, stabity-stab, tankety-tank joke!
Anon,
ReplyDeleteI'm betting the pick was made weeks, if not months ago. O'Liar is a scumbag, but he's a devilishly smart scumbag. Could we really believe he'd let Al "IQ of a walnut" Sharpton actually PICK somebody?
And I'm not so sure this is a fresh hell. We just might be seeing the beginning of the end for poor widdle downtwodden pwesident O'Liar. Then again... devilishly smart he is.
The Obama Administration "acted stupidly"........
ReplyDeleteSo let's see if I got this straight.
ReplyDeleteWe have an idiot talking to a moron about selecting somebody stupid to the AG job. Oh, I got it!! Business as usual!!
@Stilton: You outdid your last outdone as usual; bless you for your artistic/comedic/realistic prowess!
ReplyDelete@RobertPotato: Point well made about the Obidness as usual!
Personally, I believe Eric the Pudholder is the worst AG since 1 million years BC.(sorry Loana and Tumak) He has done nuttin for the Republic; for which he is supposed to stand, but only to cover his bosses' ass, and all others of the Ochangey administration.
Good riddance, Earache Poleholder, may you rot in Federal Prison for at least half of the crimes you have committed against America.
PS: Is it just me, or does Holder look more Egyptian than 'black'?
Thanks David SC. A "fine" record indeed! If he's replaced by someone even worse, we are truly doomed.
ReplyDelete@John the Econ- I think your summary is almost right. You left out that Obama thinks that Islam - even radical Islam - doesn't suck at all.
ReplyDelete@TrickyRicky- Agreed.
@Queso Grande- Holder and Obama have set race relations back 50 years - and I'm old enough to state that as fact.
Sadly, they've deliberately done so to keep black voters trapped on the government plantation.
@Judi King- Yep.
@Colby Muenster- You're right that Holder on the Supreme Court wouldn't change things much, but he's a youngish guy and could continue the tradition of screwing up the Constitution for a long, long time.
And the idea of losing a Conservative justice while Reid is still in charge scares the bejeezus out of me.
@Geoff King- I'm sure there are layers upon layers to the timing of Holder's announcement. He's drawing away some of the fire for current DOJ scandals, his suggested replacement will surely be female or minority (allowing the GOP to be attacked in the midterms for asking any questions), and Obama may have inside information that Ginsburg will be wandering into traffic soon and so it's time to put Holder on the SCOTUS conveyor belt.
@Bruce Bleu- I don't think Barry could ever stand to be "one of nine" because he's too arrogant. My best bet is that following his second term, he's got his sights set on becoming the King of the United Nations.
Don't think I'm joking.
@CenTexTim- I think Holder would survive confirmation proceedings. All he has to do is attribute all criticism to racism (as is his wont) and the Dems and media will do the rest.
@graylady- You can pretty much bet that with any change of this size, there's one or more deeper agendas.
@Geoff King- Unfortunately, the turtles were released after being told to return for a court date. Even if they start now, it will take them years to get there.
@Anonymouseseses- Thanks! It seems like people enjoy my cartoons the most when I'm really and truly pissed.
@Jim Hlavac- I'm guessing Barry will nominate a female minority in a wheelchair to prevent such obstruction.
@Uncle Dirt- Hey, good hearing from you! I hope you'll be a regular here in the comments section - this is a great group of people!
@Shelly- I think you've put your finger on the number one reason for the timing. Barry can't risk a possibly Republican Senate getting too large a vote in Holder's replacement.
@Anonymous- You're right; although I've read that the White House is "scrambling" for a replacement, I don't believe it for a second. They surely have their top five choices all lined up and ready to go.
@Colby- Oh how I'd love to see Holder doing the "perp walk." That's going on the top of my Christmas wish list.
@bobtater- Brevity is the soul of accuracy. You've nailed it.
@David in SoCal- Holder really doesn't look black black, although when he was wearing a giant afro in his college radical days, he sorta kinda did.
It's interesting how many of Obama's top black officials are actually lighter-skinned than John Boehner. I don't think it's altogether coincidental, as there is said to be a lot of color consciousness and bias within the black community.
@Judy King- Whoever replaces him, Holder has already stacked the deck by making the Civil Rights division of the DOJ into a radical lefty nightmare. Obama cited this as Holder's "great accomplishment." That should scare the hell out of all of us.
I was intentionally avoiding the news the last couple of days to let the gray matter shrink back to normal...just saw that Holder is 'leaving' last night, and like you guys, I too KNOW it's a plan in the works with devious intentions for our nation.
ReplyDeleteAlso, though, here in Oklahoma, we have the infamous honor I suppose, of hosting the first of probably many human beheadings by
a nut-job jihadist! In my state here, we're still pretty OK guns, and hopefully those few Okies who subscribe to the PC view on guns will come around.
I personally am very much for gun-control...I believe you should aim your gun with both hands so you do not miss!
New to the website - I feel like I've landed on the right planet and found my people!
