Ah, the basic question! Is he evil, corrupt, and paranoid like Nixon, or utterly inept, hapless, and incompetent like Carter? And Obama has made his choice: "I didn't do anything bad, I'm just really, really lazy and stooopid!" And Holder fits right into the same mold. "I not do nuffin' wrong, I just a useless lump what doa'n know nuffin, 'bout, nuffin no'how no way. I stoopid uneducated man, wha'choo 'spect anyhow." I mean seriously, folks. These are supposed to be smart, extremely well-educated men - and they are! And yet, when caught doing wrong and surrounding themselves with corrupt people of their own choosing, they play the stupid and incompetent card every time. If they're going to claim stupidity, who am I to deny them? OK guys, you're both incredibly incompetent, uninvolved, and useless in your jobs. Have it your way.

At least Hitler and Mussolini made the trains run on time. Obama managed to screw up air travel - intentionally!

"The Obama Administration denies knowledge of these scandals." Hey, at least that's plausible, since this is the least-knowledgeable administration in our nation's history. Thugocracy - smells like Axelrod, Plouffe, and Rahmbo in here...eeewwww!

Great post! Yes, it's the old "incompetence defense"; we're not bad, just hopelessly incompetent. Now, for the next few weeks we'll see President Indignant sputtering on about how everything is a partisan sideshow. Up 'til now the press has pretty much covered for him, but with the IRS thing and the AP thing they may have finally pooted in the churn.

Wow! Anyone that can find a way to get into this much trouble when they have 95% of the press backing them and covering up for them is really hopeless! Can a President be impeached for gross incompetence and stupidity? No? Too bad!

Sounds like Carney's defense is "No, we're not more paranoid, corrupt and thuggish than the Nixon Administration...we're just more incompetent, irresponsible, and feckless than the Carter Administration."

Yeah, I thought that was a dumb comparison too. But then again, Obama calling to congratulate him was ridiculous and poorly thought out. Our glorious Prez called him "courageous". Sure, real courageous, leading your fiancée on for years and ruining her life while cheating on her with other men, and then coming out to cheers from 100% of Hollywood and 95% of the media, trying to gain fame he'd never get as a journeyman last man off the bench on a very poor team. It takes no courage to be gay in America - go to Iran and give it a try. If this is his version of courage, Obama is a moron. Never mind; he's a moron regardless.

Yeah, Sanford is damaged goods, but for the Dems attacking him I have a few names to toss out: Clinton, FDR, Kennedy, Weiner, Spitzer, Clinton(the ostensibly female one), Rangel, William "Cold Cash" Jefferson, Maxine "Muddy" Waters, Blagojevich, Geithner, the Jesse Jacksons, Sr. & Jr., John Edwards, Wilbur Mills... I could go on ad nauseum, but space is limited. Sex scandals, lies and liars, tax cheats, crooks and just general slimy scum have a huge and historic place in the Democratic Party. Glass houses, folks.

Thugocracy. What a nasty and disgusting little Administration we have.

"Socialism for thee, but not for me" is the motto of the liberals in Washington - and yes, I include most so-called Republicans in that group.

True, kind of what I thought when I read that too. In reality, 'hypocrites' is one of the kinder things they're called.
