New Book: Axelrod, Holder Close to Blows in West Wing
Newsmax ^ | 6/2/12 | Martin Gould

Posted on 06/03/2012 12:31:39 AM PDT by Nachum

Two of President Barack Obama’s closest allies, former senior advisor David Axelrod and Attorney General Eric Holder came close to blows immediately after a Cabinet meeting, according to a new book to be released next week.

Only the intervention of senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prevented the two men from throwing punches, Daniel Klaidman claims in the book, “Kill or Capture.”

Politico’s Mike Allen got an advance look at the book, which is due to hit stores on Tuesday, and revealed the altercation in the West Wing which started when Holder accused Axelrod of trying to place a political operative in his Department of Justice.

“After the [Cabinet meeting] ended, Axelrod made a beeline for the attorney general,” Klaidman wrote in the book subtitled “The War on Terror and the Soul of the Obama President.”

“Obama’s senior adviser was incensed. It had gotten back to him that Holder and his aides were spreading the word that he was trying to improperly influence the Justice Department. Axelrod, who knew all too well that even the hint of White House meddling with Justice Department investigations could detonate a full-blown scandal, had been careful not to come close to that line,” Klaidman continues.

That’s the real Jarrett? OMG . I’m gonna have nightmares.

Never thought I’d look forward to a pic of Helen Thomas.

Good grief, what a steaming pile. This guy must be the most inept liar in the history of lying.

Holder's sense of isolation within the administration had turned his job into a grind.

...Obama's closeness to Holder became a bone of contention for administration staff.

Would it even be possible to read this amateurish propaganda piece anywhere outside of a vomitorium?

This is what happens when you have two liberal a-holes in the same room.

Ha ha. I just saw some reader's comment on BuzzFeed that Obama, since the ARRA in 2010, has added 4,000,000 million jobs without a single net job loss in any one month since that time. His followers are completely delusional.

Both are onoxious and narcissistic. The difference is Axeldouche thinks he is a tough guy and Holder knows he is a sissy. Maybe Holder can help decorate their cells in
Federal lockup!

But Jarrett was not prepared to put up with the macho display. “Petite and perfectly put together as always, she pushed her way between the two men, her sense of decorum disturbed, ordering them to ‘take it out of the hallway.’”

So all three took it out to the hallway and whipped it out to see who had the biggest unit and Jarret won hands down...

I don’t get it. Why replace an Alinksy with an Axelrod acolyte or Tweedledum with Tweedledee ? How can you infiltrate the DOJ’s race baiting ‘Alinsky Inc.’ with another Alinksy?

Saul Alinsky gave this interview with Playboy shortly before his death:

ALINSKY: ... if there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell.
PLAYBOY: Why?
ALINSKY: Hell would be heaven for me. All my life I’ve been with the have-nots. Over here, if you’re a have-not, you’re short of dough. If you’re a have-not in hell, you’re short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I’ll start organizing the have-nots over there.
PLAYBOY: Why them?
ALINSKY: They’re my kind of people.

What a pantload of propaganda.

Oh, no. I can even name the political operative being placed in the JD: Eric Holder.

Here is what the fight might have looked like if Valerie Jenrette had not intervened

What to the hell is Holder, if not a political operative?

Maybe someone has already found this and posted it down-thread, but this link to your thread was featured in Gateway Pundit....

Axelrod and Holder nearly came to blows--"It was sort of like watching a fight at an #Occupy camp. You didn’t want it to end. (Free Republic)" (Link under the picture)
