"[Attorney General Eric Holder said the department] has a special responsibility in addressing racial ills. That - that strikes fear down the spines of many conservatives in this country"

Beautifully unintended and ironic Freudian Slip is beautifully unintended and ironic.

Hah, I knew I couldn't have been the only one who caught it!...

Honestly, I had to double-check the source of the quote, because at first, I thought it was a completely straight-faced denouncement of neocons.

If this is how poorly the neocons DEFEND their owen priorities, I look forward to future Democratic victories in 2010 and 2012.

Well a lot of people thought that the Bush Justice Department sort of got us back to the point where we were - we were being reasonable.

...Huh?

Sorta related but did anyone watch the shit storm between Pat Buchanan's racist ass and that black professor at Georgetown on Hardball?

homasse February 20 2009, 01:28:42 UTC

No! What happened?

randomneses February 20 2009, 01:31:20 UTC

Megyn with a "y".

Second problem would be whenever her mouth is open, sounds come out and it's never a good thing.

sinthrex February 20 2009, 01:57:37 UTC

That's been my thoughts on her for the last several years.

terl_girl February 20 2009, 03:18:08 UTC

To be fair, she has put the smackdown on Bill-O on more than one occasion. Although I think he enjoys the abuse.

sinthrex February 20 2009, 04:07:15 UTC

I'll take your word for it. I've never seen her and Mr. Bill together.

What I have seen of her can be summed up in "An attractive container for fail."
