Dahlia Lithwick: The Job Ahead for Eric Holder | Newsweek Dahlia Lithwick on Legal Issues

Then too,Lithwick is a determined leftwinger. The only ones to place ''tremendous pressure''on Holder are other leftwingers who are already whining that they are being refused a seat at the table of ''change'' by Obama,who is fast packing his cabinet with DLCers rather than DAILY KOS propeller-heads. The fear of Lthwick is that it is all getting away from her. That her desire to deliver payback to the Evil Ones will be thwarted by something bigger than all of us,the crushing financial crisis that will put Lithwicks priorities,as far as Americans go,somewhere between ambrosia salad and oil changes. Obama pulls a CHURCH Committee and he will wreck what is left of the CIA and he knows this. Go gunning for Lithwicks Evil Ones and he can forget about his ''post-partisan''world. Raise the bar too high and anyone caught even throwing chewed gum at a detainee will be howled out of office by the minority GOP. Lithwick and her CODE PINK pals will be sidelined,to make room for the ''change'' that is coming,that not all adherents of the Expected One really wanted.

I just saw you on the Rachel Maddow Show, and I couldn't stop staring at your hair long enough to decipher what you were saying. I lost my job in June, but I would gladly give you some money for a decent hair cut. PLEASE--do something.
