OK, I haven’t seen that last item in the headlines yet, but you’ve got to hand it to Katie: Today was a very good day to be the author of a book entitled, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and the Shameless Cover-Up.
Meanwhile, via Memeorandum, the other important headlines:

So that’s the big news for everybody except Katie Pavlich, for whom the big news is, “You’re gonna sell a metric buttload of books today.”
She probably will sell a ‘buttload’ of books, but I can’t help but question asto whether or not there is any new information in her book that isn’t already available on the internet.
I guess we’ll just have to buy it to find out, but that logic didn’t look to good when we were discussing Pelosi and the Affordable Care Act, and it doesn’t seem any better now.
ATM I am reading ‘The Meme Machine’ by Dr.Susan Blackmore. It’s amazing how easily the human brain can be manipulated by using particular memeplexes and the evolutionary algorithems within us to replicate election results; repeatedly keeping Americans enslaved to the two-party system. We’ve all seen the experiment where the rats continuously take to the water-bottle with the morphine in it; one addiction is the same as the next.
The time is long overdue to free our minds, but once again a vote against Mitt is a vote for Obama.
Like to play a game of mousetrap anyone?
There’s a wee small problem with Pelosi’s statement that Levin does a great job of explaining.
First, to arrest Rove, she would have had to prove wrong-doing. In the Plame investigation, everyone knew it was Richard Armitage who committed the pseudo-crime. There was no legal standing.
Hells bells, Libby went to jail based on the charge of perjury during his testimony to the Grand Jury. Pelosi had no legal standing, AND it would have pulled conservatives and independents over to the GOP in 2008 regardless of the economy because Pelosi would have been rightly seen as over-reaching.
Those rats are getting a lot more benefit/cost out of that morphine than we are out of our politicians.
Did anyone see the “Bombshell” post at Scoop’s today? I’m kinda late to it. But Scoop found video of Gibbsy and “Big Sis” that proves Obama and Holder both knew all about “Gun Runner.”
“At the President’s Direction”
Bam!
So, the question should now be “Will Obama let Holder go in an attempt at damage control?”
My guess is no.
No, the question is whether the AG will have an unfortunate accident, or be made an offer good enough to tide him over while he sits silently in jail, refusing to answer questions.
A good bit of the information “available on the internet” came from her research.
But stick to pop psychology, it seems more your speed.
I’m still good with telling Libs Pelosi COULD have arrested ROVE but SHE BETRAYED THEM!
Tell him to stay out of Vince Foster Memorial Park…
Agreed!
You should never advise anybody to play stupid Stupid.
Hot stuff. Looks like everyone knew…..and everyone lied.
I’m leaving most of your post alone, but I must say that Pavlich did a find job of putting everything together. You can definitely find most, if not all, of the information on the web, but she put it in one not-terribly-large and accessible package. Yes, of course I have and have read her book.
Not much more to say. It’s all about waiting, now.
Nah. They can drag this out past the election in court. Then, if Obama loses or even if he wins, he can pardon Holder for everything – including the many things we still know nothing about.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Obama issue such blanket pardons to many officials in his Administration, possibly even himself.
Voting for Mittens will set the Conservative movement back at least 8 years!
Can our Republic withstand that?
This is an obvious political move. Republicans, if they were truly concerned about the future of our country, would be concentrating on reducing the nation’s debt and entitlement reform. Sure…election time is upon us…but still…
I think way too much ink has been spilled on this story. I think it is important to highlight when the Feds law enforcement strategies fail….but I’m much more worried about debt, entitlements, and the economic collapse in Europe.
Had McCain been President, Fast & Furious would have still come into existence in some form or fashion…and Republicans would be trying to save face just like Democrats are.
The 8 years of Dem control after the 4 years of Mitt is of greater concern IMO.
Regardless of which party controls the WH, the results remain the same. Republicans are for the most part ‘progressive-lite’ and the flavor remains the same.
The better question is what is Obama hiding: What does the President know and when did he know it!
Coulda, woulda, shoulda. This is not just another political story. 2 federal agents have been killed possibly with these guns. Hundreds of Mexican citizens have been slaughtered with these guns. This is much bigger than Iran/Contra, or Watergate for that matter.
As for ink being spilled, the MSM has barely touched this story until now, which they claim is a which hunt.
He may need that pardon, depending on how many cases of cans of worms come to light after Romney takes up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania.
Concern troll much?
No, he is quite sincere. We think the skies are always dark in his world, though, and the whole place is labeled “Here Be Dragons.”
I said 8 years because I would hope that Mittens gets booted out after 4, but then we would probably have 4 years of another Progressive.
Political slappy much?
People get killed with guns all the time. That certain weapons were used to kill those agents is regrettable….however, I’m pretty sure the killers would have found other weapons to use.
It is important that such errors are found, highlighted, and corrected. But this issue hasn’t been handled from a responsible way, but one that is purely political….which is what Conservatives are supposed to be against.

Then we give them to Mexico. All of them.
BREAKING NEWS: West Wing of White House destroyed in Inauguration Day fire. All records of Obama administration tragically lost!
The guns and even the deaths aren’t the issue. The issue is this administration deliberately conspiring to arrange crimes to undermine the Second Amendment in violation of their oath of office.
“This is an obvious political move.”
Sure. Because everyone knows that murdered Border Patrol agents and the resulting coverup is “political.”
