Eric Holder And David Axelrod Had To Be Separated From Fighting Each Other After Cabinet Meeting

Eric Holder, who heads Mr Obama's justice department, is said to have become "incensed" after being accused by David Axelrod of complaining publicly about political interference in his office.
"That's bull****," Mr Holder said in a confrontation after a cabinet meeting, according to author Daniel Klaidman. He writes: "The two men stood chest to chest. It was like a school yard fight".
The relatively mild-mannered Mr Axelrod is said to have told the attorney general: "Don't ever, ever accuse me of trying to interfere with the operations of the Justice Department", a taboo in US politics.
In 'Kill or Capture: The War on Terror and the Soul of the Obama Presidency', Klaidman discloses the struggles within Mr Obama's White House at it mounted its controversial campaign against al-Qaeda.
He writes that Mr Holder and Mr Axelrod were separated by Valerie Jarrett, a White House adviser and confidante to Mr Obama. Ms Jarrett "pushed her way between the two men, her sense of decorum disturbed, ordering them to 'take it out of the hallway'," says Klaidman.
The argument is said to have erupted over attempts to add a political official to the staff of Mr Holder, who has presided over a handful of political and public relations blunders since taking office in 2009.
Denying impropriety, Mr Axelrod, a hangdog 57-year-old veteran of Chicago politics, is said to have told Mr Holder: "I'm not Karl Rove".
Mr Rove, a top aide to President George W. Bush, was accused of pressuring the justice department to fire seven politically unhelpful federal prosecutors in 2006.

The only way to separate the men from the boys at the White House these days ... is with a crowbar.
“Yep. Purse fight. And here’s why zer0 didn’t break them up.”
Because zer0 is a figurehead. Valerie Jarrett is the real power in the White House.
Holy crap... that’s just spooky
LOL...funny posts here...intense sissy slaping.
Maybe the movie Boy’s from Brazil is true?.
My money’s on Holder. I hear he carries a knife and is willing to use it.
Why were they separated?
They should have been provided with framing hammers and allowed to finish their disagreement.
Girls gone wild. Out of control, little spatting leftist girly men squirming around the capital. This is undignified. They should grab a pair of dueling pistols and head for the grounds.
I don’t know anything about any Frank Dux so I wouldn’t know him if I saw him, but I’d say those look like just some regular judo peeps to me.
I don't think that was a judo movie.
(Now you know all that I know on the matter.) :)
Before I explain how Frank is a total fraud, let me make a quick statement on Ninjas. There were real Japanese espionage agents and guerrilla warfare specialists. HOWEVER, their hand to hand combat techniques probably didn't look all that different from other Japanese Jujitsu of the time. Frank says that he had a Japanese neighbor that was one of if not the last Ninjitsu practitioners like in the movie. He also supposedly fought in an underground tournament, the Kumatie, and knocked out a couple hundred people in a couple hundred fights in a row. This guy is so full of shit, it spills over and he has suckerd a lot of people including Van Damm, a very good and respect Muay Thai practitioner (IMO, one of the best martial artists who became actors).
