Brou, Ha! Ha!

And again, manufactured politics drives the inexorable dismantling of the Bush presidency.

The latest purturbation of the media and the liberal wings of government is over the firing of some several U.S. attorneys by the D of Jus.

This is entirely a manufactured "scandal."

U.S. attorneys are not civil servants. They serve, as has been pointed out, as members of the executive branch, not the judicial branch, and they serve at the pleasure of the President. Their hiring and firing is always political. And, in the end, it seems that the worst one can say about the firing of these attorneys (all appointed by Bush himself), is that they were fired for not pursuing the agenda of the administration when instructed to do so, and that room needed to be made for more attorneys to have this on their resume.

They were asked to pursue an agenda, certainly, which is their job. They were never asked to produce a certain result, or to sway the legal process towards some party or wing.

Certainly, nothing can be said to be remotely scandelous about this issue when faced with the firing of not 8, but all 93 U.S. attorneys. This was done in 1993 by Bill Clinton. None were his appointees. Which is more political? I don't claim even Clinton was wrong. But the double standard is.
