Senator Leahy = Rip Van Winkle?

Apparently Pat Leahy doesn't know what's up these days:

After Republicans lauded George W. Bush’s choice of Alberto Gonzales as the first Hispanic attorney general, Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy told reporters: “It would look like a horrible double standard... to turn down or hold up the first African-American to be attorney general...”

Leahy said that Holder is "the most qualified person in decades to be nominated for attorney general."

Wait... what? The MOTHERFUCKING PRESIDENT is African-American. I don't think Harlemites are sitting on their couches every night with heads in hands, distressed over the possible blockade of Eric Holder's confirmation. You effectively said he's the most qualified person for the job. This is sufficient. You don't need to go parading around as some 21st century incarnation of William Lloyd Garrison. Apparently you were sleeping yesterday. Now that you have awoken, let me tell you that you are a retard.
