'She wasn't a particularly good vice presidential candidate'

Attorney General Eric Holder slammed former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin Sunday over her call for President Obama to be impeached.

President Obama has been the target of calls for impeachment, as well as a lawsuit brought about by House Majority Leader John Boehner.

“She wasn't a particularly good vice presidential candidate,” Holder said on ABC’s ‘This Week. “She’s an even worse judge of who ought to be impeached and why.”

Holder said former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin ‘wasn’t a particularly good’ choice for vice president.

Palin declared last week that Obama should be impeached over the immigration crisis and other issues, a call that even Congressional Republicans have dismissed.

Holder also brushed aside House Speaker John Boehner’s move to sue Obama for his use of executive powers to go around Congress.

“It's a more, I think, a political gesture than a truly legal one,” he told ABC. “Filing a lawsuit against the President that has no basis is not going to improve the quality of life for the American people.”

In the same interview, Holder sounded an alarm over radical foreign fighters pouring into Syria.

“In some ways it’s more frightening to anything I’ve seen as attorney general,” he said.

Amid reports that bomb makers there were working on developing undetectable explosives, U.S. officials stepped up airport security, requiring some travelers to turn on their laptops and other electronic devices.

“We’re doing something in reaction to things we have detected,” Holder said.
