Covering up is what Eric Holder does: "I'm Winston Wolf. I solve problems," so says the professional fixer in Quentin Tarantino's oddball classic, "Pulp Fiction."
In the film, Wolf acknowledges the problem at hand and sets out to solve it, "Now you got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Take me to it."
The Obama White House, like the Clinton White House before it, has its own Winston Wolf. His name is Eric Holder, attorney general, and this month's corpse in the car goes by the name "Fast and Furious."
If Holder seems untroubled, it is because he has been solving problems for a long time, starting with his appointment as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia in 1993.
Holder became the Clintons' fixer-in-chief on July 18, 1997, the day he replaced Jamie Gorelick as deputy attorney general.
