Holder. Hm. I would like to see him become a legislator after his term as Attorney's General.
He ain't no Gonzalez.
Gratefully.
The criminal investigation into the Gulf tragedy is a given.
I think the Huffington Post has a point when they call for a 'Temporary Receivership' for BP.
He needs to write an ethics manual for Rahm. Rahm is screaming for guidance. It's all that Ritalin he takes.
He doesn't take Ritalin?
Oh.
I mean there are reports of him unable to keep his clothes on at times. Sounds a little maniac to me.

US Attorney General Urges OECD To Do More To Fight Corruption
By Samuel Rubenfeld, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to do more to combat corruption, in a speech Monday in Paris.
Holder said that although the group has led the response to a global problem that the World Bank says costs 3% of world gross domestic product, some member countries still haven't convicted anyone. He acknowledged that it is difficult to investigate and prosecute corruption because it requires "more will, resources, experience and effort" than most crimes.
"It involves gathering evidence from foreign jurisdictions, pursuing wealthy and powerful individuals, and enduring lengthy challenges in the courtrooms," Holder said. "I urge the countries...to deepen their commitment to this global effort by dedicating the appropriate resources, such as prosecutors and investigators focused exclusively on foreign bribery cases, and by prioritizing the prosecution of corruption, no matter where the evidence leads."
