Here's an interesting question:  How do you feel Director of the Georgia EEOC Commission, former Georgia House member and candidate for Labor Commissioner Melvin Everson would do if he ran for Congress against Hank 'I Think Guam Is Tipping Over' Johnson in Georgia's 4th District?

The newly drawn lines put Everson's home in Snellville in the 4th now....And Everson did just go to Washington D.C., where according to his Facebook page, "he made the rounds".  He also stated he flew in the same plane with several members of the Georgia Congressional delegation.  Is "making the rounds" cryptic for testing the Congressional waters? 

In a classic understatement, Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens sent out a Facebook message this morning calling the performance of United States Representative Hank "Guam Is Tipping Over!" Johnson at yesterdays' 'Fast and Furious' hearings 'embarrassing to all Georgians'.  

  Quoting Olens, "Rep. Hank Johnson's performance at AG Holder's hearing was embarrassing to all Georgians." 

According to The Daily Caller,  Johnson "compared the scandal to what he considers a surge in illegal gun sales to criminals.

After asking Holder for the specific number of guns the Justice Department and ATF helped smuggle into the hands of drug cartels — to which Holder responded there were about 2,000 — Johnson alleged that the “gun show loophole” was far worse.

“Now, how many firearms are sold to al-Qaida terrorists, to other convicted felons, to domestic violence perpetrators, to convicted felons, to white supremacists?” Johnson asked Holder. “How many unlicensed gun dealers, or let’s say, how many weapons, how many assault rifles let’s just say in a given year are sold to such individuals by unlicensed gun dealers at these gun shows and how many of those end up walking away to Mexico? Can you give us a number on that?”

“I don’t have a number on that,” Holder said, offering to try to figure out later for Johnson what the exact number was.

“Would it be more than a couple of hundred?” Johnson followed up, likely meaning to say a couple “thousand” because his reference was in the context of Fast and Furious.

Though Holder previously admitted to Johnson he didn’t have those statistics, he played into the argument without the facts.

“I’m pretty certain it’d be more than 2,000, but in terms of getting those numbers to you, I can try to do that after the hearing,” he said.

Johnson also claimed that the Senate is to blame for operations like Fast and Furious because it’s been almost six years since Congress’ upper chamber confirmed a presidential nominee as the head of the ATF.

“Over the past five and a half years, we’ve had five acting directors of the ATF,” Johnson said. “The Senate’s failure and refusal to confirm a nominee for that important agency. What affect does that have on the ability of that agency to be guided in such a way so we can avoid situations like Fast and Furious?”

“I think that’s actually a very good point,” Holder said. “When you have a confirmed head, there’s a certain prestige that goes with that demarcation. But, beyond that, it allows a person to have a longer term and a certain consistency to put in place the programs, put in place controls that don’t exist and allowed Fast and Furious to happen.”

Johnson finished off his questioning by commenting that he thinks conservatives are systematically trying to prevent the ATF from functioning. “I think the NRA and other Second Amendment rights radicals have confidence that the U.S. will not have a competent ATF head,” he said"

If you don't believe this, go to the Daily Caller story and look at the interview that Johnson did after the hearing. 

Johnson is an unbelievable clown who in any other district would have been kicked out of office years ago.  I for one am very appreciative of the job that US Representative Darrell Issa did yesterday in holding US Attorney General accountable for his actions, even to the point of actually telling him he was not telling the truth, which he was not.  Well done Congressman Issa!

Further, I applaud Georgia's Attorney General for having the courage to state the obvious.
