Well, it doesn’t get any better than this:
Good God almighty…
I mean, we all know the first instinct of a Dem Socialist is to lie and/or obfuscate when cornered…so why would he admit a truth that makes him look like such a weak, demagogic tool? Was he afraid that if he had claimed that he had read the legislation, he would have been grilled about the details within? Heh!
Via Pundette, we find an Instapundit less stoic than usual:
THIS IS THE QUALITY OF ANALYSIS I EXPECTED FROM HIM: Holder admits: No, I haven’t read the Arizona law I’ve been dumping on. “Here’s the money question, prompted not just by Holder’s ignorance but the fact that Hillary criticized the statute without having read it either: Are they deliberately not reading it so that they have an excuse to walk back their criticisms later if this gets too hot politically?”
UPDATE: “The Most Transparently Irresponsible Administration in American History.” “How could the Attorney General of the United States malign a state law as raising profound constitutional questions, imply that the lawmakers who drafted it are racists, and direct a Justice Department review of the law without having read the law?“
ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Michael Alexander writes: “Why does this surprise anyone? After all, this administration doesn’t seem interested in reading the laws they write and pass themselves, so why should they be expected to take the time to read someone else’s?”
I’m not through with Holder, today…Check back for more of his brilliance, later.
Not a winning issue for the Obami. The embarrassing demagoguery ain’t woiking.
Hat tip: Gateway Pundit.

Holder is the dimmist bulb to fill the Ag’s seat in quite some time, but since he helps us to fullfill the government’s “compelling interest in diversity”, he has contributed to the robustness of the legal and intellectual discussion in America today. Like when he called us a nation of cowards when it comes to a discussion of race. He is the ultimate end of diversity and political correctness, and a perfect example of why the concepts are completely antithetical to the American Exceptionalism that Barack Hussein Obama holds in such distain.
