>>> it must be very very lonely to be Obama. I suspect it is going to get lonlier. He can always rely on the companionship of his closest friend, the bus driver.

Holder puts me in mind of Humphrey Bogart’s in-character observation about Peter Lorre’s character in Casablanca:

“I don’t mind a parasite, but I DO object to a cut-rate one.”

Holder is a tool, and he’s a great mirror for President Downgrade for the simple reason that he’s just as big a piece of cheap, perambulatory scum as The Wun is.

>>> Perhaps the proper word for the relationship might be “surrogate” or “mouthpiece.” I believe the ACTUAL term you're seeking here is "two-bit shill".

I don’t think this F&F affair seems very dangerous to Obama yet. The Dem base doesn’t care diddly about it and that’s what Obama’s campaign staff is trying to hold now. To throw Holder under the bus would mean that Obama would be admitting he made an error in appointing him and in keeping him. Obama can’t admit that kind of error.

I strongly suspect that Holder knows too much to be hung out to t dry.

Maybe O trusts Holder. That means he knows Holder won’t do anything O considers unuseful. But that’s not the point.
The point is that when the buck stopped with Holder, it didn’t get to O. Once Holder becomes, as he has, an involuntary conduit instead of a shield, his usefulness–which is not related to his perceived trustworthiness–is over.
Question is, what can he be trusted to do or not do when he’s out on his ear.

Alternate ending:

My belly and my money
you see before you dies

There’s also a good ending with the word disguise.

Can anyone tell me why poetry that has absolutely no form, none, is called poetry.

I call bullshit. Poetry is DNA, the coded instruction. How more formulated can DNA be? Hunh? Poetry without rules is like genetic instruction without rules: You get monsters and stillborn. Yech.

Free verse is not poetry. It is musing and may be amusing but it is not poetry. I hate it. Let it go the way of the Commerce Clause and socialism and eubonics and eugenics and slavery and abortion and bring back the dodo because we all love the dodo.

I’m a fat little froggy
with fat little thighs
and a big fat belly
from my throat to my thighs.

I like to sit calmly
viewing the scenery
and slurp suddenly
the lunch before me.

I’m a fat little froggy
with fatty fat thighs.
My belly and my money
float below the pond’s skies.
