Eric Holder Hospitalized
Posted on | February 27, 2014 | 43 Comments
Don’t know what the diagnosis or prognosis is:
Attorney General Eric Holder was taken to an area hospital Thursday after reporting faintness and shortness of breath.
Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said Holder, 63, began experiencing the symptoms during a regular senior staff meeting at the department.
“As a precaution, the attorney general was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center to undergo further evaluation,” Fallon said. “He is currently resting comfortably and in good condition. He is alert and conversing with his doctors.”
Most likely a heart attack, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center on Thursday morning after experiencing faintness and shortness of breath.
Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said Holder, 63, had complained of the symptoms during his regular morning meeting with senior staff.
… let’s all say a prayer … but keep our intentions between ourselves and God
February 27th, 2014 @ 12:37 pm
Heh. He got Issa’s latest subpoena.
http://youtu.be/stdi-1tIUhM?t=16s
February 27th, 2014 @ 1:00 pm
He had an attack of conscience.
But he’ll get over it.
February 27th, 2014 @ 1:10 pm
Sounds like afib or a blocked artery.
February 27th, 2014 @ 1:14 pm
Well, bless his black, flabby heart…
February 27th, 2014 @ 1:16 pm
Perhaps it’s due to stress and overwork. Or an existing condition aggravated from stress and overwork.
In either case, immediate retirement is a sound idea.
February 27th, 2014 @ 1:43 pm
I’d never wish ill on the evil bastard, but if you spend your life advocating and breaking the law for a thoroughly evil and failed ideology, something is going to wear out eventually. He and the entirety of the Obamunist cult are racing the clock, trying to destroy the country before they are deposed in two years.
February 27th, 2014 @ 1:45 pm
Satan balked at renewing his 7-year contract.
Good thing he signed up for Obamacare.
February 27th, 2014 @ 1:48 pm
He accidentally slipped up and told the truth.
Systems can’t handle a shock like that, all at once.
February 27th, 2014 @ 1:57 pm
Well, it worked for Hillary.
February 27th, 2014 @ 2:02 pm
Hahahahaha!
February 27th, 2014 @ 2:06 pm
In lieu of flowers: Encouragement out to Mr. Holder’s family today. Your husband and father may be an unindicted felon, but everyone needs an old man.
February 27th, 2014 @ 2:08 pm
Is is head pale? He might need a bullshit injection.
February 27th, 2014 @ 2:56 pm
In the interests of bipartisanship and comity, I think that we should all hope that Mr Holder recovers soon, and sees the need to spend more time with his family.
February 27th, 2014 @ 3:01 pm
Commies always play that with one of their own, but not when it happens to an opponent. I say “Let’s Dance!”
February 27th, 2014 @ 3:02 pm
Sounds like she went to Duke for a reason. The reason being the party atmosphere where she could meet rich boys and have a good time. Look at all her other college applications, USC, Pepperdine, etc. Perhaps a serious mental illness is exhibiting itself. Cognative dissonance is generally a precursor to a break down. It is clear she really wanted to be outed and humiliated for doing a job she says is not humilitating.
February 27th, 2014 @ 3:11 pm
Heart attack? Well, you gotta’ have a heart in the first place.
February 27th, 2014 @ 3:30 pm
Most likely flu, or other viral infection.
If it is cardiac it is more likely atrial fibrillation than an occlusion.
Just playing the odds…
February 27th, 2014 @ 3:48 pm
[…] is a bitch eh Eric Holder? The corrupt AG was hospitalized earlier after he felt faint and complained about ‘shortness of breath.’ Nothing was […]
February 27th, 2014 @ 3:50 pm
I suppose the Left is disappointed that it isn’t Justice Ginsberg…
February 27th, 2014 @ 3:53 pm
😀 Glad I could make you laugh … returning the favor that you grant to me almost daily.
February 27th, 2014 @ 3:54 pm
Oh he is quite familiar with a fib …
February 27th, 2014 @ 3:57 pm
I think you hit the wrong thread … although the part about serious mental illness fits in here too …
February 27th, 2014 @ 4:07 pm
“spend more time with his family” visiting through the Plexiglas visitor’s window at Club Fed!
February 27th, 2014 @ 4:27 pm
It wouldn’t be very Christian to hope…
Either way the jackass POTUS will just install another immoral lackey.
February 27th, 2014 @ 4:42 pm
Yeah but the confirmation hearing would be entertaining.
February 27th, 2014 @ 4:46 pm
I thought she stumbled and fell while “not drunk”?
February 27th, 2014 @ 4:54 pm
Don’t sweat it, I can wish enough ill on the “evil bastard” for several people.
February 27th, 2014 @ 5:00 pm
HAHAHA!!! I walked right into that one.
February 27th, 2014 @ 5:47 pm
Was he supposed to testify somewhere?
February 27th, 2014 @ 6:35 pm
Indeed. Personally I want him to live and be healthy so we can impeach him properly.
February 27th, 2014 @ 7:13 pm
Actually, nothing to mess around with. I had it a year and a half ago. They had to stop my heart and restart it, after knocking me out, of course.
February 27th, 2014 @ 8:05 pm
I was thinking of the one she had a virus, fell, got a concussion and was hospitalized after they discovered a blood clot…so didn’t have to testify before congress.
February 27th, 2014 @ 8:14 pm
Oh Lord, please ensure a clear blast radius around Holder before affording him what he merits.
February 27th, 2014 @ 8:14 pm
I totally agree, but yeah, this is the wrong thread.
February 27th, 2014 @ 8:55 pm
Perhaps he had some kind of accident…like a head on collision with the truth. A crook like Holder would probably find that quite traumatic.
February 27th, 2014 @ 11:47 pm
Did the attack come on Fast and Furious for Mr. Holder?
February 28th, 2014 @ 12:54 am
I suspect Holder is establishing the ‘sick’ narrative in case Republicans retake the Senate. If they do, he will resign for ‘health reasons’ right after November, before they can impeach him. He’s hoping this will give him some emotional cover and sympathy from the MSM. If they don’t retake the Senate, he will ‘miraculously recover’ a la Hillary.
If Holder resigns, Obama won’t be able to nominate another partisan. In that case, he’ll continue indefinitely with the acting deputy AG. I don’t know who that is, but if they serve under Holder they must be just as bad.
*edit* P.S.: I’m not a practicing Christian, and I hope he dies. Few people deserve it more.
February 28th, 2014 @ 12:58 am
In light of Holder’s support for gay marriage, maybe the ‘she’ part too.
February 28th, 2014 @ 2:56 am
I wish him only justice.
I think that would suffice.
February 28th, 2014 @ 4:13 am
He doesn’t have the same doctor that Massive Headwound Hillary has, does he?
February 28th, 2014 @ 8:47 am
You’re a cruel, cruel man.
February 28th, 2014 @ 8:48 am
Is it okay if he suffers for a few months first?
Asking for a friend.
