Rove Reportedly Will ‘Help Lead’ GOP’s Fight Against Eric Holder For Attorney General
Think Progress —
Senate Republicans, including Sens. Arlen Specter (R-PA), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and Jon Kyl (R-AZ), are trying delay confirmation hearings for Attorney General nominee Eric Holder, raising questions about Holder’s role in the 2001 pardon of Marc Rich.

Political Animal —
PULLING THE STRINGS.... When Barack Obama introduced Eric Holder as his choice to be the next Attorney General, the response was relatively muted on the right. There was some grumbling about the Marc Rich pardon, but even most Republicans conceded that Holder, with his extensive background and qualifications, would be confirmed. Karl Rove appeared on the "Today" show soon after the nomination was announced, and called Holder "controversial," and promising, in his best passive voice, that "there will be some attention paid to" Holder's Clinton-era work. This week, several conservative Republican senators, none of whom seemed to care about Holder before, began railing against the ...

Last week, we learned that GOP Senators are setting up a first fight with the Obama administration over the Eric Holder nomination. Now, we find out, via Think Progress, that the Republican Senators have Karl Rove leading their strategy: The Republicans want to fight inane political battles, not solve the nation's huge problems.
