#rsrh Holder: WH will eventually close Gitmo. (pause) HAHAHA!!!!!

(Via Hot Air) And here I thought that Eric Holder was a humorless toad.  This is some high, high humor that he’s laying down, here:

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that the Obama administration will do its utmost to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay before next year’s presidential elections despite political opposition.

Holder said at the European Parliament that even if the current administration fails to close it ahead of elections, it will continue to press ahead if it wins the November 2012 presidential vote.

Two things:

  1. No, they’re not going to close Gitmo.  But if you believe that the While House really will this time, just because they promised to and everything, then please give me money instead of Barack Obama.  He and I are equally contemptuous of you, you understand – but I’ll just spend the money on roleplaying game supplements and the latest Terry Pratchett BBC miniseries, which means that I won’t be spending it on anything that actively harms or upsets you.  Obama won’t make that promise!
  2. “If.”

See, this is why I don’t bother much…

…with the Left-sphere.  It’s not so much that they’re dumb – although many of them are 110 IQ types trying to pass for 130 – it’s that they know what they know; and they know that they know better than anybody else knows.  Couple that with a general unwillingness to check their work and hilarity ensues.

Seriously, if you honestly think that the Speaker of the House would say the following:

Can’t pay your student loan? Face it your parents were lazy and you couldn’t afford college.

…to Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi – or pretty much anything else – then you’re just a dumbass.  And that’s just the first two sentences: the rest of the passage merely compounds the dumbassery.

Sheesh.  Say this for an adversarial relationship with the regular media: it teaches you elementary caution.
