Stephen Colbert nominated himself to replace Attorney General Eric Holder during Thursday night’s “Colbert Report.”
Colbert reminded America that he’d never been a “fan” of Holder, who announced on Thursday that he would be resigning.
“Today, we found out that not only is he a jack-booted thug, turns out he’s also a quitter,” Colbert said.
Although he noted that “Obama’s presidency is sinking so fast even his friends won’t stick around,” Colbert “humbly” nominated himself for the opening.
“Full disclosure, I am not an attorney,” Colbert confessed, “but I’m pretty good at things in general. And I’m a quick learner when it comes to legal matters. One time I fell asleep during a ‘Law and Order’ marathon and I woke up knowing the word ‘jurisprudence.’ It’s only a matter of time before I know what it means.”

OK by me so long as he finishes in time to do the Late Show.
Excellent choice. No problem with the confirmation either. He’s a shoe in.
I think he needs to go for the pencil-thin Thomas E. Dewey mustache.
