Of course, the real question is why should we care about less than two handfuls of losers being shown the door? Exactly whom are you characterizing as "less than two handfuls of losers"? People are "losers" because they were fired by Gonzalez?! That is so not the "real" question that it is astonishing. The "real" question is, were they fired because they didn't pursue investigations that the Bush admin wanted them to pursue for political reasons, even though they found no evidence to support the allegations that were made? And were others fired because they were pursuing investigations that the Bush admin didn't want them to pursue, because they were investigating people (i.e., Jerry Lewis) who were supporters of the administration? It appears that the people who were fired were fired for the above reasons, not because they were "losers."
