Other than the fact that George Will thinks he's a good default pick? I've always liked Jindal, but admittedly I don't follow his day-to-day actions in Louisiana that carefully. He did a good job on the BP spill, doesn't have any known personal problems, has experience as...

Keep pushing Fast and Furious investigation

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2012 57 Comments

I have not devoted nearly enough space to the Fast and Furious scandal and cover up. It is a potential Achilles' Heel exposing the "above the law" attitude of this administration. From The Daily Caller: A single internal Department of Justice email could be the smoking-gun document...
