the most incompetent attorneys general in u.s. history. he is the guy who brought on gratuitously the fiasco of the ksm trial in new york that even the democrats rebelled against. he has led a department that has been either totally ignorant or disingenuous or worse, the fast and the furious scandal. and now he plays the race card. i think it s, to use his word a towardly use of the race card. unbecoming. it also is dangerous in a country where it can stoke that kind of racial animosity. he shouldn t be using it. i say it with all due respect. merry christmas, mr. attorney general. [ laughter ] bret: we ll leave it there. that is it for the panel. stay tuned for some holiday wishes from our washington bureau. i d like one of those s and some coffee.
arlen specter video it s a shame we don t have arlen to watch here. it s another instance where he s extremely slippery. he s apparently dishonest about what he knew. and this guy has now quite a number of controversies and instances of ineptitude to his name. one we haven t discussed is the ksm trial. he wanted to bring ksm to new york city to try him. absolute firestorm. even democrats couldn t abide the idea. the problem with eric holder web s a highly political lefty who is unsuited for this job. i doubt president obama will throw him under the bus, but if there is a second term he won t be there. megyn: he stood by him today. coming up, a new strategy for dr. conrad murray s defense team. [ male announcer ] it s a fact:
night. and that s the memo. now for the top story tonight. does brit hume think the obama administration is in retreat? he joins us now from washington. what say you, mr. hume? i think the administration is in retreat. and i think the key thing to do is not to watch so much what he says but watch what he does. this retreat and this movement, which i think he will make gradually, to the center will not be announced. it will not be it will not be forecast by him. but i think as he confronts each issue as it comes to him he will realize that the only tenable position will require him to shift ground and you will see him do it. as you pointed out in the talking points memo on extension of the bush tax rates the so-called bush tax cuts, you saw that they re making peace with reality as well on the whereabouts and timing of the ksm trial. so those are two examples. bill: all right. but we re not exactly sure that president obama is in going to go for the extension of the tax
many in the end, how many states it affects and how many homeowners. thanks judge, see you later. check out freedom watch, fbn, with our man, the judge. martha: our man, the judge! we know voters say it s all about jobs this time around and that message may be hitting home in a big way in one very hard hit state where you may watch the state watch the state house, rather, flip from blue to red. bill: he sits in a courtroom in new york, accused of being an accomplice to bin laden, the judge has already said he cannot hear from the main witness because he was water boarded. what does that mean for the ksm trial? will it ever take place?
together. but if either side compromises too much, their base will punish them. look at savannah and i were talking about look at the ksm trial and negotiations for that, right? everybody seems to agree this guy needs to be held accountable but everybody is in their own corners how and where to do it and guess what has happened? the guy still hasn t been brought to any kind of justice. you get this paralysis is what you see here when this inability either to compromise or this issue of your base punishes anybody who remotely look. joe by the fact you and i are talking about compromise, we re just gone washington, now know? i m sure we will get attacked for that. a new poll came out. i will mary what happened yesterday with today. yesterday, scott brown supported a financial reform bill, as a conservative, i probably wouldn t have supported but he did it.
