What’s got Eric Holder’s panties in a bunch? It’s Rep. Darrell Issa and his pursuit of the truth. During this afternoon’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, the scandal-plagued AG lashed out at the House Oversight Committee chair:
Wow RT @ethanklapper Holder to Issa “The way you conduct yourself as a member of Congress is unacceptable and shameful”

#Holder accuses Issa of being “shameful” #Scandal

Whoaaa…Holder just told Issa that the way he conducts himself as a member of Congress is “unacceptable”

Let’s go to the videotape (via The Washington Examiner):
“That escalated quickly.” RT @danabashcnn: WOW – eric holder just called @darrellissa shameful.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) May 15, 2013
No kidding. And Holder’s not doing himself or his boss any favors:
Not sure losing his cool helps Holder’s case, obviously

RT @krobertsnj: Holder scolding member of Congress. Is this the best strategy for the Obama administration to take with Congress right now?
— Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) May 15, 2013
No. No it isn’t. Then again, this is the Obama administration we’re talking about. Sound strategy is not their forté.
Wow, Holder getting personal now.

Eric Holder just said Issa was “Shameful” for asking him a question. Maybe Issa should recuse himself.

Apparently, it’s shameful for the Chairman of the Oversight Committee to conduct … Oversight. #TheChicagoWay

Wow. Eric “I recuse myself” Holder is saying Issa is “shameful” in the way he conducts himself. Too funny.

Anyone have a mirror Holder can borrow?
The guy who pardoned Marc Rich and who runs a DOJ that send 2500 guns to drug cartels just called Darrell Issa “shameful”
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) May 15, 2013

Bonehead move, bro.
Yeah, it’s over. Eric Holder just puffed up and played the “How dare you, SIR!” card.

Holder’s toast. He know’s the fat lady is singing.

In the battle of Holder vs. Issa, it’s pretty clear how things are gonna end.
Money’s on Issa over Holder.
