Eric Holder to Press: Waaaaaaah - Stop pickin on me - Waaaaaaah.

 You guys need to — you need to stop this. It’s not an organic thing that’s just happening. You guys are behind it. [More at America's Watchtower]

Note to Eric Holder: Man up, but please, please, please do not resign!

Holder Busts Polanski:

Child molester and Oscar winning director Roman Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland on September 26 on a U.S. warrant seeking his extradition to the United States for his 1978 Flight from justice. Polanski fled the U.S. before sentencing on a reduced charge of unlawful intercourse with a minor, down from a statutory rape charge, for having sex with a 13 year old girl in 1977 at Jack Nicholson's house where Polanski was staying.

Polanski had plead guilty to the reduced charge that sent him to jail for 42 days observation, however he fled California and the United States when he learned that the judge who had initially approved his plea deal, was attempting to renege on it and send the Director to the can for an extended sentence.

Polanski is a darling of the Hollyweird elite. In the eyes of the glitterati, he can do no wrong, from their perspective even un-consenting sex with a child (a legal redundancy) is heavily outweighed by his brilliant artistry as a director. Why should mundane laws like statutory rape apply to him, he's an artist and therefore he's ENTITLED to an exemption from kid-rape rules. So then what the F**K is Eric Holder thinking????

Eric, you dumb-ass, you really know how to step in it dont'chya? You just succeeded in pissing off pretty much ALL of your Boz's Hollywood constituency. JUST BLOODY BRILLIANT MATE!!!

Bring Roman back for sentencing or maybe to get off the rap too, since it seems Polanski may very well have a strong case to void his earlier plea deal on the grounds of both judicial and prosecutorial misconduct in the original case. Time will tell.

In the meantime, Hollywood is PISSED OFF, the French are PISSED OFF, and you and yer Boz keep looking like bumbling nincompoops as we come nose to nose with Ahmedi-Nejad and his impending nuke arsenal.

The Conyers' Curious Timing: He Drops Congressional ACORN probe, She Pleads Guilty in U.S.D.O.J. Bribery Probe

On Thursday June 25th came the following story from the Washington Times concerning Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee John Conyers, (D-Mich) decision to kill a Judiciary Committee investigation into ACORN on the grounds that the "Powers that be" had decided that no such investigation should proceed.

__________________

House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. has backed off his plan to investigate wrongdoing by the liberal activist group ACORN, saying "powers that be" put the kibosh on the idea.

Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat, earlier bucked his party leaders by calling for hearings on accusations the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN) has committed crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style "protection" racket.

"The powers that be decided against it," Mr. Conyers told The Washington Times.

The chairman declined to elaborate, shrugging off questions about who told him how to run his committee and give the Democrat-allied group a pass.

Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh, whose testimony about ACORN at a March 19 hearing on voting issues prompted Mr. Conyers to call for a probe, said she was perplexed by Mr. Conyers' explanation for his change of heart.

"If the chair of the Judiciary Committee cannot hold a hearing if he want to [then] who are the powers that he is beholden to?" she said. "Is it the leadership, is it the White House, is it contributors? Who is 'the power?'"

Capitol Hill Democrats had bristled at proposed hearings because it threatened to rekindle criticism of the financial ties and close cooperation between President Obama's campaign and ACORN and its sister organizations Citizens Services Inc. and Project Vote.

The groups came under fire during the campaign after probes into possible voter fraud in a series of presidential battleground states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Mexico and Nevada.

ACORN and its affiliates are currently the target of at least 14 lawsuits related to voter fraud in the 2008 election and a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act complaint filed by former ACORN members.

The group's leaders have consistently denied any wrongdoing and previously said they welcomed a congressional probe. The group did not immediately respond Thursday to questions about Mr. Conyers being convinced to drop those plans.

ONE DAY LATER, June 26, 2009, Conyers' wife Monica pleads guilty after being charged in a FEDERAL D.O.J. bribery investigation involving sludge-hauling contracts in Detroit. She faces five ... count 'em FIVE ... long years in a federal can, or then again, just maybe she won't face any jail time at all...???

Lemee think... any tie-in here? Who runs the Department of Justice? Oh, yeah... Eric (Marc Rich's Best Friend) Holder, who dropped charges of voter intimidation against two New Black Panther Party thugs after the government already had default judgments against them.

Hat tip to Ms. Placed Democrat who's very timely blog post put me on to this train of thought

USDOJ career lawyers overruled on voting case

It appears that Eric Holder's politicized (read radicalized) Justice department has determined that intimidation at the polls is not a violation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, if the intimidators are of African extraction. The open question remains: Will the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment apply so as to extend to Caucasians, Asians, Hispanics, and all other non-african ethnics the same "right" to intimidate their fellow citizens with impunity through thuggery at the polls?

So, here's the ugly story from The Washington Times:

"EXCLUSIVE: Career lawyers overruled on voting case.
Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day, according to documents and interviews.

The incident - which gained national attention when it was captured on videotape and distributed on YouTube - had prompted the government to sue the men, saying they violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by scaring would-be voters with the weapon, racial slurs and military-style uniforms.

Career lawyers pursued the case for months, including obtaining an affidavit from a prominent 1960s civil rights activist who witnessed the confrontation and described it as "the most blatant form of voter intimidation" that he had seen, even during the voting rights crisis in Mississippi a half-century ago.
