One was fired to make way for one of Karl Rove's cronies, another one was the successful prosecutor of corrupt GOP Congressman Duke Cunningham.

"Not political",

What's all the fuss about? Do you really think working for a political appointee doesn't come with certain "understanding?

This has been going on for decades, nothing new. Hell, if i were President I would want to make sure any US Attorneys on my watch were of the same political persuasion as I, it's just common sense.

ALL of the attorneys were fired when Clinton came in. Does it bother you so much that they claim it to not be political? OK, so they are lying about it. Did anyone make a fuss about whether it was political when Clinton did it?

Is it also true that Clinton got a blow-job?

Yes, Clinton did get a BJ from an intern (like a teacher/student relationship, or congressman/page relationship - usually that is not considered acceptable).

But, he didn't just get a blowjob. He was being questioned under oath because of allegations of sexual misconduct. He lied to cover up the pattern that supported the allegations.

There were also substantial allegations of being a rapist, sexual imposition & harassment, making advances to a woman on the day of her husband's death, having the Arkansas state police help him get women...

Yep, and his attorney general did not prosecute Clinton for sexual harassment in violation of federal law. It turns out that there is a problem with a person higher up in an organziation granting preferential treatment/unequal access to subordinates on the basis of sexual favors.

And yet many think it was just a blowjob. People will believe anything.

p.s. - I thought that was thr biggest mistake made by the right. Instead of making it a legal issue, they made it a MORAL issue.

That action by Clinton was political and SOP when a new president takes office - what makes this move by Gonzales and the Bush administration so unusual (and therefore suspect) is why they chose to do it now.

The culture of lies and media sound-byte spin will continue until we decide we're not going to up with it any longer.

I agree. And the problem with "moral issue" was that every right seemed to have a skeleton in his closet.

"Not political",

...And your insignificant point is???

Political appointees serve at the pleasure of the sitting President. If the Chief wants to sack some of the last President's appointees, that is his prerogative under the law.

Klinton sacked EVERY US attorney, and nobody squawked about that, iirc, except the Usual Suspects(tm); e.g., those on the other side of the political aisle.

There is a selective amnesia (even myopia) that seems to affect the body politic that extends down to political / news junkies...

All you're doing is robotically repeating the party talking point, like a FoxNews talking head.

Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush also replaced most of the US Attorneys when they came into office, just as Clinton did. Nobody's saying that's not SOP for new presidents. And everybody acknowledges that US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president.

But a firing of this many US Attorneys in the middle of a term is rather unprecedented. And doing so to influence criminal investigations and prosecutions is completely improper and may even be criminal.

Now you can preach to the choir all you want, but the only people you'll "persuade" are those who would never, ever, ever dream of voting for a Democrat anyway, so what the hell difference does it make? If you want to tilt at windmills like Don Quixote, that's your privilege. At least Tony Snow gets paid for it.
