   Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy jumps in with a question that has tripped up two of Holder’s predecessors at the nominations table.

   “Do you agree with me that waterboarding is torture and illegal?” the lawmaker asks.

   After tracing the history of the simulating drowning tactic to the Khmer Rouge and other troubling regimes, Holder responded, “I agree with you, Mr. Chairman, that waterboarding is torture.”

   A Code Pink protester in the audience forcefully nods his head.

       Oh, I do? I’ll go check it after my last meeting. I’m sorry I haven’t been around as much, but the time between Thanksgiving and now hasn’t been kind. We’re OK, but I’m glad the holidays are over. Didn’t really feel much like celebrating.

   I can’t believe the reign of error is almost over.

   That’s why we’re going to party like it’s 2012 in DC this weekend. 😉

     (Because, to hear the history channel tell it, the world ends on Dec 21, 2012. So if we make it to Dec 31, it’s all good forever after.)
