The one where I finally blog about the "Fast and Furious" scandal

There's not a single thing I could possibly add to Stephen Colbert's expert analysis of the worst scandal to hit Washington since the 40th anniversary of Watergate. He nailed it. Warch, learn, discuss -- and have a great weekend:

    Not funny. Tell it to the dead agents family. Whatever they pay you is too much.

    What is funny is that the geniuses here think this is Holder’s entire fault and it is a scandal of Obama's making. Holder did not know about this operation and these Arizonian Agents where operating on orders of the previous AG. So, let’s not let the facts get in the way of the Right Wing Media Machine's Scandal.

    BTW, Obama Administration must be squeaky clean if this is all they could dig up, besides his birth certificate and the fact that he is a secret Muslim.

    What's funny is that you actually believe what you wrote, LOL!! You couldn't be more WRONG!!

    "Wide Reciever" electronically tracked the weapons and the Gov'ts of both countries were involved. And the number of firearms was smaller, it was detailed and when it didn't work it was halted.

    Holder and his cronies let the guns walk, without tracking devices, without a detailed plan and a Federal Agent was killed.

    You are nothing more than an "Obama excuse merchant"!! Inform yourself, before you post and look foolish. Just a tip.

    Sorry, wing nuts, this is another bush failure foisted upon Obama. Looks like you got caught drinking your own kool-aid again.

    Now the bigots will have to find something else to hate our black president about.

    Actually Bunch Colbert was wrong and unfunny. He got Operation Wide Receiver mixed up with Operation Fast and Furious, which has been common among the liberal media. Operation Wide Receiver was run on a much more organized scale with the Mexican Government. Where as Fast and Furious was done without the Mexican government's knowledge. Wide Receiver resulted in the guns being tracked and recovered with zero American casualties. Fast and Furious still has hundreds possibly thousands of guns not yet recovered because nothing was used to track the guns going into Mexico and resulted in the death of Brian Terry (I know you have no idea who he is Bunch). Also, Wide Receiver wasn't covered up. With Fast and Furious, Eric Holder has repeatedly contradicted himself when testifying in front of Congress and has dragged his feet in turning over documents that he redacted to cover his own behind. I would suggest you actually do some research but that would require being professional (which you're not) or having half-a brain (which you don't). But you'll do a whole blog dedicated to a deliberately edited Mitt Romney clip. You're a failure Bunch.

    40th anniversary of Watergate, and we get treated to another round of "Executive Privilege". Doesn't seem like the lessons were learned by at least one over-rated "Constitutional Scholar".

    Only a moronic, pseudojournalist would use the idiot Colbert as some type of "investigative journalist".

    What are you going to do when the DN goes down the toilet?

    Bunch doesn't even have the courage to put his thoughts to paper. That says a lot.

    Keep on dismissing Will, reality is coming. Only then it will be after the election and you will be saying "how did Barry lose?"
