Bush fired all of the US Attorneys when he took office. So did his dad. Now he is doing just what he did in the Emerald City, putting in party hacks w/o the normal congressional approval/oversight using provisions of the Patriot Act. Yup, the party hacks are necessary for the "War on Terrorism". Keep drinking the kool-aid at your never ending lunch.

"The networks conveniently forget Clinton fired 92 of the 93 US Attorneys." Clinton fired another 20 or more during his term after firing 92 attorneys which conveniently ended the Whitewater investigation in Little Rock. For some reason the newly appointed lacky didn't pursue the investigation even though the fired attorney was reportedly within a couple weeks of filing charges on Whitewater. So firing all but one of the Attorneys General to avoid personal prosecution is not a political problem, but firing 8 for not prosecuting voter fraud is supposed to be a political problem. If that is not selective reporting, then I don't know what is.
