<..> What has Eric Holder done to earn such a distinction? Well, let's see. As a young attorney at the Department of Justice he worked to uncover and prosecute government corruption. That was, by the way, in the mid-1970s, when shards of Nixon's corruption were still embedded in bureaucratic agencies. President Reagan appointed him to the bench of the Superior Court during his term, President Clinton appointed him Washington, DC US Attorney and Deputy Attorney General, and briefly served as Acting Attorney General under President Bush before he went into private practice.

In his years in government practice, he created a domestic violence unit, wrote health care enforcement regulations, and also created a program to restrict some guns and bolster gun safety laws.

Lawrence will explain it better, but really it comes to this: Eric Holder is the NRA's most hated man, and he's black, too.

Damn, that is a soul-satisfying channelling of the outrage I felt when I heard that part of the Mitt Romney video. Well done, Lawrence O'Donnell.
