#1 Weren't the Dems courting the idea of making them the, umm, 58th state a couple of years ago? Shows you what they really care about.

#4 "note Holder's comment that 'maybe this is the way you do things in Idaho, or wherever you're from.'"

"I'm from Idaho, Mr. Holder - the one on this planet, not whatever planet you're from."

#6 Importantly, Holder was born and raised in the Bronx, NY, and his father was from Barbados, but he was raised in Queens.

The vast majority of Puerto Rican immigrants lived in the Bronx, Brooklyn and East Harlem. So it is likely that Holder has known many Puerto Ricans, and also knows how to insult them.
