Is this the beginning of the end for the embattled Holder? Already, Florida is showing no fear of him (Florida Defies Holder, Rejects DOJ Demands to Stop Purging Non-Citizens from Voter Rolls). Holder's authority is melting away.

As the political situation worsens for Obama, expect short tempers to flare and more incidents of this nature to continue.

How much of these leaks are true, we’ll never know. How much are to make a certain person look principled, we’ll never know.

I think stock prices for ConAgra Foods will go up the next few months.

They own the Orville Redenbacher’s brand.

Once again News from the UK? Any media here covering this? Doubtful.

"Eric Holder and top Obama adviser David Axelrod 'had to be separated'"

Is this like the old joke my Italian friends are always gleefully telling my Greek friends?

"How do you separate the men from the boys in Greece?

With a crowbar."

How it really started:

“David, do these slacks make my butt look big?”

Anyone who believes Axlenut is against Dem operatives in the DOJ is looney. This is the start of a BS attempt to distance the WH from Holder.

“Holder ... and David Axelrod ... had to be separated”

In a catfight like that, someone surely would have broken a nail.

Shirley, I tell ya ...

Watching Holder and Axelrod go at it would be like watching Iran and Iraq fight in the ‘80s. You really want both sides to lose.

I can imagine Obama during this incident “oh, please, must you be so violent ... let me order us some brandy alexanders and let’s just sit together on the sofa and chill out”

This story is a bunch of crap. With this administration, follow the politics instead of the money. Obama directed, and continues to direct, the political decisions at Justice, EPA, State, take your choice. Axelrod is not between Obama and Holder.

Every week I wake up thinking perhaps this will be the week HOLDER is issued his “Contempt of Congress”, but no the GOP never ever disappoints. Each week we have further evidence the GOP has indeed undergone a Laminectomy. The House Weeper has to be removed before we get to the debt ceiling debacle again.
