Really?

Blame Bush? Lie about your intent? Forget the name of the slain border patrol agent? It's all here.

In Other News

The Florida Republican primary dominated the news cycle today, but there was some interesting news that might threaten Obama's re-election, regardless of whom the GOP nominates. Darrell Issa, who has been one of my heroes for his relentless investigations of Obama administration corruption, and there is plenty, has threatened that miserable hack with contempt for failing to produce documents relating to Fast and Furious.

Holder has until Thursday, Feb. 9. to comply, according to Issa.

Issa accused the Justice Department of trying to “obstruct our investigation and deceive the public” by withholding documents.

“Your actions lead us to conclude that the department is actively engaged in a cover-up,” he said in a four-page letter.

The California Republican pointed to a document that the DOJ released last Friday, which indicated that Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer had promoted gun-walking to Mexico on the same day that Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich wrote to Congress denying that the DOJ had allowed guns to walk.

This is normally Dean's beat, but this news was just too juicy to ignore. Clearly, senior members of the so called Justice Department are obstructing justice. Taking the fifth, threatening stool-pigeons whistleblowers, playing the race card: all part of the Chicago way at inJustice.

This is too egregious not to be used against Obama in November, it will be all the more effective because it goes to his supposed strengths on integrity. Same for Solyndra and other green crony capitalism plays.

More Obama = Bush: Gunwalking

Dean has been crushing the Fast and Furious story, since only CBS and the LA Times seem to want to cover it, and now CBS maybe not so much. Now, the administration is resorting to its first and last line of defense, blame Bush. The differences between this administration and the Bush administration shrink by the day. The only big difference? Obamacare. Other issues? Gitmo still open, even more wars in progress, use of secrecy to obfuscate legal justifications for prosecuting the war on terror, loads of bankers and Wall Street types in the administration, growing the size and scope of government, PATRIOT act extension, even higher deficits, lax border enforcement; the list is nauseatingly long. Now we can add gunwalking to the list, apparently. See all the latest gory details at Beers with Demo.
