Excellent Words!

Sometimes former First Lady Michelle Obama said silly things, but like most people she has a few excellent thoughts to share as well.

The quote from former Attorney General Eric Holder -- in which he morphs her famous, "When they go low, we go high" statement into, "When they go low, we kick them" -- was probably Holder's idea of a joke. No administration with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in it can stage a realistic contest as to who would be the biggest stiff with the least humorous sense of humor. But Holder usually managed to do quite well in the fight for second place, so I think he was trying for some kind of over-the-top humor.

That the attempt would fail as soon as he opened his mouth was a good guess. But still, it's nice to see someone rebuke the former chief law enforcement official in the United States for even jokingly advising assault against people with whom you might differ ideologically. Hearing Holder speak almost makes me wish it were Democratic presidential primary season again, so he could walk home with his single-digit show of support and we could go back to ignoring him.
