Neolex,

I very seldom address comments to other commenters, but your statement about the firing of the DAs puzzles me.

“The difference here is that Clinton fired all of them for no reason. He just wanted his own people in there and fired everyone. Bush, on the other hand, fired specific people who refused to tow the line (some of them Republicans, btw). ”

Hmmm, explain the difference again please. I’m just a tad confused about the distinction between wanting your own people and wanting people who will follow your lead. I guess I don’t grasp the nuance, kinda of like the definition of what is is!
