Attorney General Eric Holder angrily and pointedly referred to a famously embarrassing comment from Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert at the end of a contentious hearing on Tuesday. "Good luck with your asparagus," Holder said — an unusual but obvious dismissal of Gohmert's entire line of questioning.
Background is in order, obviously. Last May, Holder and Gohmert got into an argument at a House Judiciary Committee meeting. Gohmert, who's been consistently critical of the attorney general (if largely inconsistent on the reason for the critique), alleged that the Department of Justice had failed to prevent the Boston marathon bombing. Holder criticized Gohmert's characterization, and Gohmert, flustered, responded: "The attorney general will not cast aspersions on my asparagus." It was never clear what he meant or what he was trying to say, but the "asparagus" line became a running joke, with Gohmert as the target.
