I&#039;m no authority on the &#039;conflict of interest thing&#039; in the case of X worked at law firm Y which represented organisation Z.  However, I can confirm that Covington and Burling have a *really* nice office down on Pennsylvania Avenue just down from the White House and there is a very good coffee shop just a couple of doors away.</description>

		<description>Hmmmmmmmmmm!
I googled some of the items and i think it would be fair to say that the size of the company and where it is situated it would be hard for them not to do business with either party as well their partners and workers have donated to both parties for elections.
Holder was a partner for the firm for the period of the imbeciles rule.
It could follow that there could quite easily be a conflict.
Gouldie for Help?

&lt;blockquote&gt; For months, we have been trying to get to the bottom of why Eric Holder would not really investigate the cases of Mr. Siegelman and Mr. Scrushy,  Mr. Minor, the two other judges in Mississippi and Charles Walker. Well, I finally have the answer .  I got it from writing my Greg Craig article that was located on the Jason Leopold website Public record.

 I got a tip and I researched it. And boy, was I shocked at what I learned.  Seems Mr. Holder, before being selected Attorney General of the United States of America, worked for a firm called Covington and Burling.  The tip I got was that the firm had a very important client whose name was George W. Bush and they represented a very important organization I am sure ya&#039;ll all have heard of - the Republican National Committee. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Ten Telltale Signs of Republican Disease

&lt;blockquote&gt; There may be a medical explanation. Perhaps the Republican daily diet of whoppers has caused organic brain rot, a variant of mad cow disease. On the other hand, their failure to accept reality might be psychological, early onset dementia resulting from excessive exposure to Fox News and hate radio.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ooh what a classic Gaffy. 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Nearly half of Americans don&#039;t know that states have two senators and more than half can&#039;t name their congressman. And among Republican governors, only 30% got their wife&#039;s name right on the first try. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>There is no video but it sure is a hilarious read.
Bill Maher is really sockin it to em.

&lt;blockquote&gt; Sarah Palin says she would never apologize for America. Even though a Gallup poll says 18% of Americans think the sun revolves around the earth. No, they&#039;re not stupid. They&#039;re interplanetary mavericks. A third of Republicans believe Obama is not a citizen, and a third of Democrats believe that George Bush had prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks, which is an absurd sentence because it contains the words &quot;Bush&quot; and &quot;knowledge.&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Obama Aide John Brennan Declares End to War on Terrorism

&lt;blockquote&gt;John Brennan picked a deeply symbolic day to end the “war on terrorism.”

On August 6, 2001, Brennan, then a senior CIA official and now President Obama’s assistant for counterterrorism and homeland security, “read warnings that Osama bin Laden was determined to strike inside the U.S., but our government was unable to prevent the worst terrorist attack in American history,” he recalled to an audience Thursday at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. It was a reference to a CIA analysis, called a President’s Daily Brief, that the 9/11 Commission uncovered as a key warning that an attack by al-Qaeda was likely.

Eight years later, in his first speech since joining the Obama administration, Brennan annulled several key aspects of the so-called war on terrorism — starting with both the name and the idea that the United States was involved in any sort of “global war.” Brennan said Obama will subordinate counterterrorism to “its right and proper place” as a “vital part” of the administration’s national security and foreign policies, but not the lion’s share of them. Saying he was careful not to elevate al-Qaeda to a greater position of importance than it deserved, Brennan linked the rise in support for extremists to problems of global governance, economic crisis and social stratification and said the administration would make a concerted effort to address what he considers those extremist root causes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
