It looks like the House Republican push to get the media to pay attention to Operation Fast and Furious through a request for a special prosecutor has paid dividends. CNNs Anderson Cooper devoted an entire segment to the scandal, interviewing House Oversight chair Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), and giving a tough but balanced overview of the issue. This might be the best exposure to F&F that CNN viewers have yet seen, and Cooper sounds pretty skeptical that Holder responded honestly to Congress rather easy question:

Old “Dandy” Andy Vanderbilt may not get invited to a few Marxist soirees he so enjoys by unveiling Fast & Furious to the “never heard of it” CNN-Occupy Wall Street crowd.
FYI
Will F&F become the media/democrat vehicle to remove Obama so the dems can field a better candidate? We seem to be getting more media attention. The timing is curious in that they could continue to stonewall should they choose.
The problem is Bush ran a ever so slightly similar operation, Wide Receiver in 06-07
This was a much smaller. MUCH smaller and details are not all at yet but it is thought the guns were never allowed to leave the country
Here is the Kicker
Holder investigated Wide Receiver in09. If hte DOJ thought it was so wrong how looney would you have to be to start up a much much larger op?
will MSM differentiate between the 2 OR will they use the Bush op to cover that lying pos 0dumbo’s smelly butt?
CNN has so lost its audience that the only way they can possibly scratch and claw themselves to relevance is to back away from their incessant leftist tilt. At some point, their lack of advertising revenues due to Fox’s overwhelming market share, has got to hurt. If word gets out that they are trying to balance out by doing things like hiring Ari Fleischer, and allowing conservatives to appear without being savaged, they may have a prayer going into the big political season.
Starting to look that way. Rebellion brewing internally? Pelosi would be consulting with bill clinton. So I suspect clinton has already told obama he is on his way out.
The mid-levels must all be scrambling for deals now. There are already "John Deans," we just don't know their names yet.

Cooper and CNN persist in calling it “botched,” when it was running exactly as planned.
This is great news! Another three people know about F&F. /s
Barak’s got Billy's little white balls where he wants them. Bought and paid for with our money.
They will probably appoint Marcia Clark as prosecutor.
The most incompetent lawyer to ever sit in a court room.
