Court overturns order keeping ‘Fast and Furious’ documents secret. Nice but not anything to get excited about. The Obama administration will fight this all the way to SCOTUS.

Fast and Furious update: Lie, cheat and kill and get a promotion!
We think we’ll apply for an ATF job. We can screw up until the cows come home and still get promotions.
Only in Obama’s world can you ignore the law by allowing illegal gun purchases, cheat by allowing the same guns to cross the border and go into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, kill, (a Border Patrol Agent was killed by one of the aforementioned firearms), lie about it to congress and then get that big, fat promotion!
The ATF has promoted three key supervisors of a controversial sting operation that allowed firearms to be illegally trafficked across the U.S. border into Mexico.
All three have been heavily criticized for pushing the program forward even as it became apparent that it was out of control. At least 2,000 guns were lost and many turned up at crime scenes in Mexico and two at the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona.
So whom do we congratulate?
The three supervisors have been given new management positions at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. They are William G. McMahon, who was the ATF’s deputy director of operations in the West, where the illegal trafficking program was focused, and William D. Newell and David Voth, both field supervisors who oversaw the program out of the agency’s Phoenix office.
So what was the result of “Operation Fast and Furious?”
No cartel leaders were arrested.
We think we’ll apply for an ATF job. We can screw up until the cows come home and still get promotions.
Oh, wait. We already have those jobs. Except no one gets killed when we screw up on our current jobs.

Brit Hume on fire: “Fast and Furious” is Obama’s Watergate
Watergate, anyone? Fox News’ Brit Hume says the Mexican gun running scandal is moving from simmer to boil and is starting to remind him of Watergate.
Watergate, anyone? Fox News’ Brit Hume says the Mexican gun running scandal is moving from simmer to boil and is starting to remind him of Watergate. Hume asked the most famous question that was asked during that scandal.
The Daily Caller reports:
“This is a real scandal,” Hume said. “And once again, we have the classic question of what did the attorney general, for example, know? When did he know it?”
Hume likened Obama’s handling of the scandal to that of Nixon’s handling of Watergate, which ultimately resulted in Nixon’s resignation.
“This Obama Justice Department reminds me of nothing so much as the Nixon Justice Department,” he said. “You have the scent of high-level knowledge of serious wrongdoing and you have the smell of cover-up and I think the stench of cover-up on this gun-running operation is very strong indeed.”
To Nixon’s credit, he never promised us the most open, most transparent administration in history.
