Nancy Pelosi Explains The Conspiracy Against Eric Holder

Here's the smartest and most powerful Democrat woman ever, explaining how Eric Holder is defending the voting rights of the Democrats' most loyal constituency, Imaginary-Americans.

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Republicans are investigating Eric Holder because they want to distract him from stopping voter suppression laws.

The argument from the California Democrat is quite unique, as the party's argument has long been that the attorney general has provided enough documentation in the gun-walking investigation, and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is on a witch hunt.

Pelosi took it in a new direction during a 30-minute press conference, when she also lambasted Republicans as intransigent and unfit to govern.

"Contempt of Congress, contempt of Congress," Pelosi said. "To frivolously use that really important vehicle to undermine the person who is assigned to stop the voter suppression in our country. I'm telling you, this is connected. It is no accident. It is a decision and it is as clear as can be. It's not only to monopolize his time, it's to undermine his name. To undermine his name, undermine his name, as he goes forward to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

A spokesman for Issa called the charge "offensive."

“This investigation began a year and a half ago after a U.S. Border Patrol Agent was murdered and guns from Operation Fast and Furious were found at the crime scene," the spokesman, Frederick Hill, said in a statement. "For Minority Leader Pelosi to dismiss this tragedy and say the investigation is really about voter suppression is offensive and wrong.”

Nancy Pelosi is really on a roll lately. Has she been evaluated for Alzheimer's lately?
