While Attorney General Holder was busily muttering “I don’t know” over and over at the House Judiciary Committee hearing today, Democrat Rep. Watt was busily babysitting his adorable grandson.

People heard a crying baby during a portion of the questioning. No, it wasn’t Eric Holder … yet.

Heard a baby crying on this page: http://t.co/lSBUx5JLKu Thought it was Carney for a sec, but it was Holder hearing.
