PA-Sen: Specter Compares Eric Holder to Alberto Gonzales

I always respected Arlen Specter for not toeing the Bush line, especially on the whole issue of torture. But I think at 78 years of age, Arlen’s starting to go off his rocker. Just look at his latest diatribe regarding the appointment of Eric Holder to the post of Attorney General in the Obama administration.

Oh yeah, Arlen. Holder is soooo much like Gonzo, with all the torturing and wire tapping phones. Let’s see, what did Holder do? He was the DEPUTY AG for Janet Reno during Elian Gonzales, Marc Rich, and Al Gore’s “campaign financing violations.” If you’re looking to blame someone, blame Janet Reno.

Looks like someone’s trying to burnish his credentials with conservative Republicans to avoid a primary challenge….Look out, people. Snarlin Arlen’s back (not exactly sure if he ever went away in the first place)!
