Richard Cohen Dissents

By Victorino Matus

Although it is no surprise conservatives are unhappy with Eric Holder's nomination for attorney general, one interesting dissent comes today from within the ranks. It seems that Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen is still up in arms about the pardon of Marc Rich: link

Soon after Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, the former president and I had a brief telephone conversation. I had been downright heated about the pardon, a lot angrier than I had ever been about Monica Lewinsky. Clinton implied that I had things historically backward. Long after the Rich pardon had been forgotten, he said, the Lewinsky scandal would remain a vivid memory. That day is yet to come. The Rich pardon is back.
