Sen. Hatch to back Eric Holder for AG   

The former Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee will support Eric Holder's nomination for attorney general, giving him a major boost toward confirmation.

Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah), who chaired the panel for a decade beginning in 1995, told The Hill that he will support Holder.

“I intend to,” said Hatch.

His decision could undermine GOP efforts to stall or block the confirmation. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said Friday that Holder would be the only Cabinet nominee to face a tough confirmation fight.

Hatch said that Republicans should try to strike a cooperative tone with President-elect Obama during the first days of his administration.

“I start with the premise that the president deserves the benefit of the doubt. I don’t think politics should be played with the attorney general,” he said.

“I like Barack Obama and want to help him if I can.”

Other Republicans on the Judiciary Committee, however, have vowed to grill Holder about his time as deputy attorney general under President Bill Clinton.

The first one up, the babbling sister primitive, who thinks "darky" and "pickaninny" and "Sambo" toys are "cute;" the babbling sister primitive is usually the first to see a bonfire, and the first to comment, in case no one else has noticed.

One is sure the babbling sister primitive sits at the computer, her buttocks overhanging and dropping down the edges of her chair, to pounce on each new bonfire as soon as it's lit.

1. I hate to be cynical, but I'll believe it when I actually see it.

Usually people want the last word, but the babbling sister primitive's always very careful to have the first word.

2. I hate to be cynical, also, but I think Hatch's support of Holder means no prosecution of Felonious Bushies.

I hope I am wrong.

3. Specter's not supporting Holder, but that could be about a 2010 run more than anything. I don't know, and hope you're wrong.

5. I always try to remember that it's easy to fall down the rabbit hole of speculations. 

I didn't know Specter wasn't supporting Holder.

Of course, we live in a political world which SEEMS full of sham opposition and a media world that mostly consists of cacophonous corporate clowns, it's hard to know what to trust.

That's not an intellectual atmosphere I ever thought I'd be living in. Thanks, Bushies. Thanks, Fox News.

Thanks, Skins's island.

8. Hatch has always struck me as having an independent streak. Maybe in this case a horse is just a horse.

4. In my book, that automatically makes Holder a bad choice

6. Holder will be confirmed.

I mean, seven Dems would have to oppose him along with every Repub and independent.

10. This is a good thing.

It may bring the "Flock" in Utah into line.

12. Orin wants to be chairman again

Sounds like Orin just wants to undercut Specter.

13. His one vote would break a potential filibuster then if I'm not mistaken...

Actually you got it right this time, it's just for the wrong reason.

LOL, I was just thinking the same thing.

Usually people want the last word, but the babbling sister primitive's always very careful to have the first word.

I've noticed the ex-lying titty primitive was almost always the first poster in any thread I found him in (and disappeared shortly thereafter).  I wonder if there is some sort of DUmmie ping list, or do they keep mashing the F5 button on their keyboards down to a nub?
