Holder: Palin Not A Good VP Pick, So 'Even Worse' Judge Of Impeachment

CAITLIN MACNEAL – JULY 13, 2014, 9:46 AM EDT

Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off Sarah Palin's call to impeach President Obama, taking a dig at the former Alaska governor's credentials.

"She wasn't a particularly good vice presidential candidate. She's an even worse judge of who ought to be impeached and why," Holder said about Palin in an interview with ABC's "This Week" aired on Sunday.

Palin on Tuesday said that Americans "should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment."

Holder blamed "gridlocked Washington" on Republicans. “For whatever reason, (some) Republicans decided early on that this was a president they were just simply not going to cooperate with,” he said. "And over the past five-and-a-half years, we have seen demonstrations of that, where the president has reached out his hand, offered compromises that have simply not been met in the way they have been in the past by a Republican Party willing to do the appropriate things."

resigning. She makes money from those who wants to listen to her crap, no credibility, but they still pay her to jump up and lie to the crowd. It is a TP illness which is terminal.

Ever. The queen of snark, the ranking mean girl of the Republican party makes bile seem sweet. She is the personification of a party that is pinched on both ends. Unaccomplished, entitled, universaliy misinformed, hyper-partisan, arrogant and angry, the face of a party that dies 2% every 4 years.

of her, that would get the repeated and breathlessly attention that she gets.

Cheney, Bill Kristol ... No matter how bad they are, not matter how wrong a republican is, they get media attention on demand.

What democrats have been that bad or that wrong that would get the attention they get?

Ask her what it means, then ask her to spell it.
