Holder to Attend White House Congressional Picnic: Awkwaaaard

There's nothing like a congressional contempt vote to make things weird at a picnic.

Attorney General Eric Holder will apparently swing by tonight's White House Congressional Picnic, according to Huffington Post's Jennifer Bendery. This, just one day before a potential full House vote to cite Holder in contempt of Congress as part of the Fast and Furious investigation.

We predict tonight will be slightly less awkward than a middle school dance.
