“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.”

What a pantload of propaganda. Trying to make Holder out to be as pure as the driven snow to Axelrod’s “bad cop” act.

[Slump Tester]

I doubt if either one can take a real punch. They both probably hit like girls.

[Jack Hammer]

Given the fact that the White House is currently populated almost exclusively by crass and egomaniacal morons, the only surprise is that such conflicts are not more frequent.

[SatinDoll]

I agree with headstamp - it’s bullshit.

[LibWhacker]

Both of them were on Queer Street before the match could even began.

[monocle]

What does one expect after all - David Axelrod is not one of Eric Holder’s people.

[The Cajun]

David Axelrod and Attorney General Eric Holder came close to blows

Yup, I can believe that in a certain way.

[Iron Munro]

Let's see how tough they are when they end up in prison where they all belong.

[Michael.SF.]

Blows?

as in jobs?

[TigersEye]

I can almost picture it. Like a fight between Ernest T. Bass and Barney Fife.

[DB]

So was Berry dealing the blow?

[paul51]

Only the intervention of senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prevented the two men from throwing punches,

She threatened to kick both their asses

[ElkGroveDan]

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,”

Oh puhlease. Sounds like someone is trying to cover Axelrod's rear as the truth about Fast and Furious comes closer and closer to emerging.

[Aria]

So why was it the intervention of Jarrett and not Obama...that is if this really happened. Seems to me this is just more confirmation that the self-declared genius POTUS is more like a speechifying potted plant.

[MacMattico]

Isn't Holder already the Political Operative in the Justice Department?

Or is O and Axelrod afraid he's to close to the Clintons?

[eyedigress]

Don’t buy anything this admin does. The shift off socialism captures nobody. 7 million workers out of work is all him. Get Bent Baraack Hussein Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Safetgiver]

“As president, you kill people.”

“An inscrutable Obama looked back at Clarke, not betraying any emotion. ‘I know that,’ Obama told Clarke in an even tone.......And wait until I get started on my race war, population control and reeducation programs.

[Ann Archy]

Oh PUH-LEEZE!! Holder is the ULTIMATE Politcal guy in the DOJ!! What a freaking joke. The entire DOJ is now the “Just Us” dept. I don’t believe a word of this crap.

[Molon Labbie]

I’m surprised they didn’t need to have a beer summit to get drunked up and brave enough to have a slap fight.

[DemforBush]

Why am I suddenly reminded of the Dom Deluise scene in Blazing Saddles?

“You brute you brute you brute!”
