Eric Holder Says It's Been A 'Tough Four Years'
Business Insider ^ | 11/8/12 | Erin Fuchs

Eric Holder told law students Thursday he's still trying to decide whether he has anything to contribute as attorney general during Obama's second term, the Blog of the Legal Times reports.

Holder spoke to law students at the University of Baltimore, using a baseball reference to drive home his desire not to stay in his position too long.

He likened Janet Reno to baseball great Lou Gehrig, who played 2,130 consecutive games, the Legal Times reported.

"I do not want to be the Carl Ripken," he said, referring to the player who broke Gehrig's record.

Holder hinted at the controversy that has enveloped him by noting it's been "an interesting and tough four years."

Hey Eric, remember the ref who got caught fixing the games? That's you.

I could never decide whether Eric Holder was a masculine version of Lavrenti Beria, or a feminine version of Janet Reno.

Holder and his boss, responsible for the deaths of hundreds, will walk free, yet the schlub who posted a YouTube about islam that nobody saw will do a year in prison.

The soft tyranny has turned hard.

Yes it has, Eric, and you’re a big part of the reason why.

WTF? MAN HOLDER F*** YOU FOR EVEN DEIGNING TO COMPARE YOURSELF TO “CARL” RIPKEN.

You got 200+ Mexicans killed and probably are the reason for the OKC bombing - you couldn’t even compare yourself to Bill Buckner.

Does he now? He doesn't know what hard years are. I bet he hasn't lived in four different places, each worse than the last and earned less money each year while doing it. Meanwhile, he's been living high on the hog, aiding and abetting criminals and funneling guns to the drug cartels.

I hope he gets run over by a bus. That should about even out his karma.

I got a flash for ya', Mr. Holder. Life is hard.

It's a lot harder when you're stupid, as in your case.

He wonders if he has anything to contribute in a second term??? He didn’t contribute anything positive to this country in his first term. His was the Dept of Injustice based on color - black good, white bad. Good riddance, hope he goes.

Dear Eric,
My dog made a mess in the back yard. Are you hungry?
Goodbye.

It’s always tough when you constantly break the law and are under investigation by Congress. I guess that does make it a though job - you asshole!
