SLIMY DOUBLE-CROSSING NO-GOOD SWINDLERS

Is Obama’s Attorney General Secret Space Pirate?

But now ya treating me like a scruffy nerf herder ....
The new Attorney General for President Hopesalot is Eric Holder, who was the deputy AG back when Bill Clinton was doing whatever slimy stuff, etc., this is what you get, but wait! Doesn’t this character look exactly like a convicted space monster from the early 1980s? Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff suggests Holder is actually a smuggler who ran spice out of Bill Clinton’s Mena Airport in Arkansas.

    Only if Eric has a AAG named Chewie.

    I wondered why I am craving Colt 45. I thought it was all the discussion of Shiner Bock on the previous thread…

    “Works every time.”

  3. Hey, he went more-or-less legit in Cloud City, AZ.

  4. superfecta says at 4:29 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Dammit, I wanted to say ‘works every time’ first.

    At least he hasn’t told us this deal is getting worse all the time.

  5. carrythezero says at 4:30 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Mmmmmm Colt 45 !

  6. superfecta says at 4:31 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Is it too geeky to suggest that someone must have told Obama about his little maneuver at the Battle of Tanaab?

  7. magic titty says at 4:31 pm, November 18th, 2008

    I’m a bit tired of these Clinton-era re-treads…
    Anyway, is Alberto Gonzalez going to be deported now?

  8. NoWireHangers says at 4:32 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Perfect side-by-side, Ken.

    I’d still hit it.

  9. superfecta: Bill Clinton just said he was a fair lawyer, he didn’t think they were looking for someone to lead this crazy thing.

  10. Serolf Divad says at 4:37 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Don’t worry, he’s just made a deal that will keep the empire off our backs forever.

  11. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 4:37 pm, November 18th, 2008

    If this means that all legal cases will be settled by laser swords and robots, I’m SO in!

  12. Cape Clod says at 4:38 pm, November 18th, 2008

    I’m thinking he looks more like the nattily dressed Det. Harris from the “Barney Miller” show.

  13. ReelectTilden says at 4:42 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Kev-O-Tron: Damn beat me to it. I opened this link for the specific purpose of making a Colt .45 reference.

  14. O'Rourke says at 4:42 pm, November 18th, 2008

    He’s got a lotta nerve coming back here after what he pulled.

  15. Ken Layne says at 4:44 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Cape Clod: It is actually true, but wouldn’t provide nearly as many nerd ESB comments.

  16. It’s a trap!

  17. marioninnyc says at 4:48 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Another former Clintonista? Did Colbert already coin “changiness”?

  18. eatsshootsleaves says at 4:50 pm, November 18th, 2008

    He’s responsible now, the price you pay for being successful.

  19. HA! I was the first person to mention this! Wonkette owes me money, or a hooker!

  20. CivicHoliday says at 5:03 pm, November 18th, 2008

    He may have betrayed us once, rebel nation (read: Mark Rich), but he can now be trusted and will help lead us to a bright new empire-free future, led by Barack Obamawalker.

  21. Someone must’ve told Barry about his little maneuver at the Battle of Taanab.

  22. MarieDeGournay says at 5:08 pm, November 18th, 2008

    I can see it now! Eric Holder flying the Millenium Falcon out of the exploding Congressional Dome yelling, “YEEEEEEHAAAAA!” FTW

  23. Beer4Prez says at 5:08 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Obama’s smart. You nominate a bunch of Clintonites to appease the woman-folk/old Dems, Then they fail to successfully complete the confirmation process because of how bad and shady the Clinton’s were, and BAM! In comes the CHANGE.

  25. SayItWithWookies says at 5:15 pm, November 18th, 2008

    So I guess I’m the only one who read the linked article? ‘Scuse me, I have to go wash the “sucker” off my forehead.

  26. Numbat Dundee says at 5:20 pm, November 18th, 2008

    And wasn’t the space pirate in the movie a sellout too? I vaguely recall that he made a Clintonesque deal to sell the good guy to Pizza the Hut or something.

  27. pondscum says at 5:25 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Once again I am very proud to say I have never seen any of these movies. Ya nerds!

  28. SayItWithWookies: The article came from Ken’s back issues of Penthouse. Whadya expect? Pulitzer material?

    BTW, Seal, with two bullets in his head, did not die friendless. http://www.wethepeople.la/seal2.htm

  29. Strangefellow says at 5:34 pm, November 18th, 2008

    MarieDeGournay: Someone needs to turn that idea into a YouTube video immediately.

  30. Now the guy on the right isn’t black enough. But the guy on the right is too black. Barry on the other hand is jussst right.

  31. I like his rich smile.

  32. Beer4Prez: I’m tired of appeasing the old. The baby boomers had their Kennedy when they were like 18.

    No more appeasing. I want Blood. Now!

  33. Cape Clod says at 5:44 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Ken Layne: Yeah, there’s that. Might spark some ‘Firefly’ comments, though.

  34. bitchincamaro says at 5:47 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Stuyvesant High grad; good enuf for me.

  35. thundergirl says at 5:50 pm, November 18th, 2008

    his wife is my ob/gyn–that makes me a viv, doesn’t it?

  36. Team Arctic says at 5:52 pm, November 18th, 2008

    I’m afraid his subpoena powers will be quite operational when the Republicans arrive.

  37. sanantonerose says at 6:48 pm, November 18th, 2008

    I hope Huggy Bear gets a plum post! In fact, the whole cast of I’m Gonna Git You, Sucka should serve in some official capacity.

  38. psychedelicSludge says at 6:49 pm, November 18th, 2008

    “… prominent Armenians you may have heard of: actor/writer Eric Bogosian, former Gov. of California George Deukmejian, and administrator of Bespin City Lando Calrissian.”

  39. Lazy Media says at 6:55 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Cape Clod: Another vote for Ron Glass as Harris for the doppelganger. Heck, he’s more of a Venus Flytrap from WKRP than a Lando Kalrissian.

    Crap, I didn’t have to look any of that up.

  40. Da Derga says at 7:10 pm, November 18th, 2008

    During his confirmation hearing, a senator had better ask him how many parsecs it took him to make the Kessel run. The American people will not settle for anything over five.

  41. Thanks Layne….that actually made my day.

  42. glamourdammerung says at 7:38 pm, November 18th, 2008

    Actually, I always thought of Lando as more of a space sex offender than space pirate. That molestache is pretty magnificent.

  43. Snozberries says at 7:58 pm, November 18th, 2008

    This is what Willis was talking about.

  44. SwanSwanH says at 8:57 pm, November 18th, 2008

    “How *you* doin’, Chewbacca?”

  45. MarieDeGournay: With Joe Lieberman in the co-pilot chair, laughing nervously.

  46. IonaTrailer says at 10:43 pm, November 18th, 2008

    magic titty: Fuck that - I want him to begin writing up the impeachment proceedings.
    Signed: Mme. Defarge

  47. Ken Layne says at 12:48 am, November 19th, 2008

    I just want to remind you that you are all TERRIBLE NERDS.

  48. MarieDeGournay says at 3:15 am, November 19th, 2008

    Ken Layne: Thanks for reminding me when those movies were actually fun and bloated pieces of crap.

  49. MarieDeGournay says at 3:16 am, November 19th, 2008

    *not bloated pieces of crap (oops)

  50. schvitzatura says at 9:42 pm, November 19th, 2008

    At least one Bothan died to bring us this information.

  51. Billy D, Billy D, Billy D!!
