Jimmy Kimmel: Don't Have Guns? Eric Holder Will Get You Some

Over the weekend, late night comedian and show host Jimmy Kimmel spoke at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and didn't leave Operation Fast and Furious out of his notes. When he cracked his joke about the scandal, the room didn't laugh, mostly because the press refuses to hold the Obama administration accountable for one of the bloodiest scandals in American history. Not to mention, contempt charges for Eric Holder were ready to go Friday, so it may have just been a little too soon for everyone in the room to take. Not to mention, the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, I.C.E. Agent Jaime Zapata and hundreds of Mexican citizens as a result of Fast and Furious, is no laughing matter.

"Democrats would like you to stick to your guns. And if you don't have any guns, you can ask Eric Holder to get some for you."


President Obama was sure to steer clear of Fast and Furious during his remarks at the event.
