The audacity of hoop

There was some trash to be talked on Friday, as President Obama officially installed Eric Holder as attorney general.

“[S]everal months ago, Eric even had the audacity to comment to a reporter on my basketball skills,” the president told the audience at George Washington University.  “He said, and I quote, here’s what he said, ‘I’m not sure he’s ready for my New York game.’ We will see about that, Mr. Attorney General.”

But Holder would have none of it (or at least he knows when to back down). When he took the microphone, he said the president is “never going to see my New York game. He’s got 10 years on me, he works out … but had I been 10 years younger.”
