Nice to see people who work their way up get the top job. After 8 years of seeing unqualified people get top jobs just because their friends has shown to be bad and doesn't work. Mr. Holder was Deputy AG with the Clintion Administration. What's strange is how disrespectful Ashcrof was to him and now he's the AG. Many are talking about the pardon he worked on for President Clinton in the Mark Rich case. Oh yes Mr. Rich's attorney was little Scooter Libby. Once you read the Consitution it's clear Mr. Rich was ok for a pardon. Now I did notice no one mentioned Bush stepping in to give convicted felon Scooter the get out of jail card.

My choice for AG will always be Patrick Fitzgerald but I know God has big plans or my Little Angel. Yes Randall Samborn too will be bested as he's my best friend and the sweetest person I know. Randall's smile could bring World Peace.
