Progressives Cry 'Witch Hunt' After House Committee Holds Eric Holder in Contempt

See the roundup at Twitchy, "#DarrellIssainThreeWords: Unhinges vicious liberals."


And more, at Huffington Post, "Nancy Pelosi Slams Contempt Vote: 'I Could Have Arrested Karl Rove ... But We Didn't'." (Via Memeorandum.)

Plus:

* Angry Black Lady, "Fast and Furious Hurts Both Sides

* Balloon Juice, "We’re Playing Different Games."

* Charles Pierce, "What the Gobshites Are Saying: Fast & Spurious Edition."

* Firedoglake, "Regardless of Fast and Furious Witch Hunt, Executive Privilege Claims Deserve Scrutiny."

* The Impolitic, "Contemptible Congress."

* Little Green Footballs, "Breaking: Republican ‘Fast and Furious’ Inquisition Finds Eric Holder in Contempt."

* Mahablog, "Impeachment by Proxy."

* Moderate Voice, "Pure Politics."

* No More Mister Nice Blog, "EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE: IT'S BEEN CLAIMED FOR NON-PRESIDENTIAL COMMUNICATIONS AND ON BEHALF OF PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS."

* RADAMISTO, "THE F&F 'SCANDAL'."

* Think Progress, "FACT CHECK: Executive Privilege Does Not Apply Exclusively To Presidential Communications."

* Washington Monthly, "FastnFuror."

Actually, I think some of the progressives are actually digging this. It's all a joke. Nothing to see here, move along. And Obama's president --- so the laws don't apply anyway.
