Sheila Jackson Lee blames Bush for Fast and Furious

“This Fast and Furious debacle started under the Bush administration,” Jackson Lee declared. “And it is been evidenced by various reports that it started under the ATL office in Arizona unbeknownst to leadership in Washington DC, at least leadership that came in under the Obama administration in this instance, Eric Holder.”

Attempts by Democrats to pin the Fast and Furious operation on Bush, however, don’t stand. National Review’s Andrew McCarthy explains:

Wide Receiver actually involved not gun-walking but controlled delivery. Unlike gun-walking, which seems (for good reason) to have been unheard of until Fast & Furious, controlled delivery is a very common law enforcement tactic. Basically, the agents know the bad guys have negotiated a deal to acquire some commodity that is either illegal itself (e.g., heroin, child porn) or illegal for them to have/use (e.g., guns, corporate secrets). The agents allow the transfer to happen under circumstances where they are in control — i.e., they are on the scene conducting surveillance of the transfer, and sometimes even participating undercover in the transfer. As soon as the transfer takes place, they can descend on the suspects, make arrests, and seize the commodity in question — all of which makes for powerful evidence of guilt.

Sheila how about we just cut to the chase and you list the things that you don’t blame on Bush? If there are any....

[Grams A]

It would be hard to come up with anything re SJL that could be considered satire or unbelievable. Between the mayor in Houston and SJL we seem to have an assortment of fruits and nuts concentrated in one city.

Wow, talk about having lost control of the message — someone like Snakehead could have spun that much, much better. Now that she is bleating, there’s no way to rehab it.

[From The Deer Stand]

One has to remember that SJL ranks right up there with Homer Simpson.

[MestaMachine]

...she says as the flag on Mars remains invisible....

[BerniesFriend]

The fall of the Roman Empire, The Black Plague, slavery, the Great Depression, and the Holocaust are all Bush’s fault as well!

And on a personal note, I couldn't find my watch this morning..Bush's fault..

[tacticalogic]

If it’s all Bush’s fault, why do the want to hide the evidence?

[EQAndyBuzz]

“SJL is just a less polished female version of BO without the spin and organizational skills.’

SJL is Cynthia McKinney only without the personality.

Sheila Jackson Lee .... this lying dumbass....

If this was George Bush’s fault then Holder would be supplying the documents requested by the House Committee

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Difference is that the 3 items are useful and people can need them.

If stupidity was a crime then she would get the death penalty.

[CodeToad]

"If this was George Bush’s fault then Holder would be supplying the documents requested by the House Committee."

Worth repeating loudly.

[ColdOne]

If this was George Bush’s fault then Holder would be supplying the documents requested by the House Committee BINGO!!!!!! TRIPLE BINGO AWARD!!

“This Fast and Furious debacle started under the Bush administration,” Jackson Lee declared” Well then have your king release the documents and have the Democrats retroactively impeach Bush.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

In a way, I sort of admire Sheila Jackson Lee. It takes something really special to make Nancy Pelosi look sane...

[dennisw]

hehehe thanks

[tacticalogic]

In order for her to know this, she must have access to evidence not provided to the committee.

Where did she get that information?

[onedoug]

Sorry Sheila. Bamy’s Executive Privlege covers Bush too.

[TurboZamboni]

same place she got the US flag on Mars info:her own disturbed mind.

[Wizdum]

Guess.

[GOYAKLA]

OMG
OBAMA-MUST-GO
