Politicizing politics
" 'Loyalty to Bush and Gonzales,' blared Wednesday's ominous headline in the New York Times, "Was Factor in Prosecutors' Firings[.]"
"One would hope so," Andrew C. McCarthy writes at National Review Online (www.nationalreview.com).
"Of all the Bush-administration controversies, the tempest over the termination of eight United States attorneys, the top federal prosecutors in their jurisdictions, may ultimately rank as the most damaging. And not because it was the most serious, but because it was the most revealing: about the administration's ineptitude and Washington's hypocrisy," Mr. McCarthy said.
"As it does peerlessly, the Times has crafted the template for mainstream-media coverage of this saga. Loyalty to Bush and Gonzales — could anything be more sinister? That's why, we're told in yet another breathless dispatch, 'Congressional Democrats ... are investigating whether the White House was meddling in Justice Department affairs for political reasons.'
"The storyline makes great theater. It is also absurd. You might as well ask whether Congress is proposing legislation for political reasons, or whether loyalty to the party leaders might have had a teensy-weensy bit to do with what bills got voted."
