Dana On Newt

Whoa:

“I think that it is unrealistic to think that we could establish a moon base by 2020, even if we spent all the money in the world,” Rohrabacher said. “[It’s] just going to bankrupt every other program.”

Rohrabacher said Gingrich is a visionary thinker “who can paint pictures for people of what a bright future we could have. But he doesn’t have the management and leadership abilities to lead those to fruition.”

I actually disagree. I think that we could easily get back to the moon by 2020, for less money than NASA is currently spending, but only if it is important, and Congress doesn’t dictate how to do it. In other words, we can’t do it.

Schadenfreude For Eric Holder

He really is a contemptible little man. And I’m referring to his moral, not his physical stature. I’m glad to see that CNN gave Hayden an outlet.

Fisking the liar’s prepared remarks for this morning’s hearing.

[Update a few minutes later]

A failed “Fast and Furious” whitewash:

By turns whiny, petulant and deceitful, Holder would rather accuse his critics of racism than substantively address the scandal. But with each “withdrawn” letter, Friday-night document dump and sudden resignation, it becomes ever more clear that the man who facilitated the outrageous Marc Rich pardon for President Bill Clinton is incapable of shame.

The people who should really be ashamed are the senators, on both sides of the aisle, who voted to confirm this corrupt, sniveling, lying, gun-grabbing racist hack to the nation’s highest position in law enforcement.

I should note that my Twitter timeline is pretty busy with the hearings.

[Update mid-morning]

“Eric Holder should become a campaign issue today.”
