Who’ll survive the Obama administration’s scandal longer: Attorney General Eric Holder or Fox News contributor Juan Williams? News that the Justice Department has been tracking both AP reporters and Fox News’ James Rosen has led to some soul-searching by the administration’s usually reliable water carriers, but Williams seems prepared to defend Holder to the bitter end. But why is Fox News employing Williams to put all of the West Wing’s talking points in a blender when liberal blogs would do just as well?
It’s hard to be sure, but Williams seems to think Holder needs to investigate his underlings to make sure real journalists like Fox News’ James Rosen aren’t accidentally caught in the snare set for those rogue bloggers and tweeters Sen. Dick Durbin warned us about on Sunday.
If @TheJuanWilliams says real journalist one more this on @oreillyfactor tonight @michellemalkin is gonna have to call in #tcot

Juan Williams just used the phrase "real reporters" during a O'Reilly segment. On May 26th I tweeted this. https://t.co/8CNyh8OZJY #Bloggers

How long will it be before you have to be a "registered" journalist or blogger? Of course there WILL be a fee and a background check.

There goes @JuanWilliams with his 'real journalist' bullshit again. This time on O'Reilly.

Relax, real journalists: Eric Holder will investigate who’s been monitoring you and make sure it never happens again. What? He personally vetted the search warrant naming Rosen a co-conspirator under the Espionage Act? By Williams’ logic, maybe Holder should investigate the judge who believed that ridiculous claim.
Juan Williams is off the rails.

It seems Juan Williams has jumped the shark on his Holder idiocy.

Saw #JuanWilliams on #O'Reilly. Williams and anyone else who thinks #Holder can investigate himself is a flipping idiot Kool-Aid drinker!

Juan Williams seems to be a disgrace as a commentator for Fox News. He is so wrong in his knowledge of what is truly going on with Holder.

How soon until MSNBC announces a new show co-hosted by Eric Holder and Juan Williams?
