From USA Today, On Politics: Sarah Palin calls for Eric Holder's ouster
Sarah Palin says Attorney General Eric Holder should be fired over the flawed weapons-trafficking investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious.
The former GOP vice presidential nominee lashed out at Holder in a post on Facebook and joined Republicans such as Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar in seeking Holder's immediate resignation.

If Holder refuses to resign, Palin writes, "then President Obama – with whom the bucks ultimately stop – can prove that he respects honesty, transparency, and accountability in his administration by firing Holder."
Holder "expressed regret" this week to the family of slain border agent Brian Terry, who was killed in Arizona last year. Two weapons tied to the weapons investigation were recovered from the scene where Terry was killed. Holder said he wants to know why and how weapons that were under surveillance got into the hands of Mexican drug cartel members.
Obama said last month he has "complete confidence" in Holder.
