Hamstringing Hillary

The Democrats are having hearings on the firing of 8 US attorneys by the Bush administration, claiming they are politically motivated. That may be true, though I doubt the hearings will get to the bottom of it, since they are most certainly politically motivated.

But let's set the record straight, for the Democrats and MSM editorialists. The US attorneys were all appointed in the first place by the Republican Bush administration, and serve at the discretion of the president. That is one way of ensuring accountability for incompetence.

And let's also recall that at the "dawn" of the Clinton administration, Bill fired virtually all the US attorneys--more than 90. Presumably it had a little bit to do with a case called Whitewater.

So maybe it's a good thing to have more Congressional oversight, but the Dems may want to consider they might be hamstringing President Hillary.

If that's what they really want to do they should say so. :)
