Right wingers are celebrating Holder's resignation [View all]

I just heard the news so I decided to scan the interwebz for reaction.

The right wingers hated him and I do think a lot of it had to do with his race. Many on "the left" are also celebrating the resignation of the first black Attorney General.

Politics makes strange bedfellows.

I think Holder was a fantastic AG and I'm sad he's leaving.
