Why bring Holder into this? Rich's pardon happened on Clinton's watch. There are lots... Tarheel_Dem Jul 2012 #10
Maybe because Holder advocated for Marc? Or do you want us to bury our heads again? Huey P. Long Jul 2012 #12
A lot of us advocated/voted for these guys too. Now they're disgraced. What does that make us? Tarheel_Dem Jul 2012 #27
Hilarious. First you want to deny the info, bury it. Huey P. Long Jul 2012 #28
