Scary

I know I use that word often when discussing the Bush Administration and the Right Wing. However, the latest folly of the Bush Administration is plain scary: Bush is firing United States Attorneys (the head Federal prosecutor for each judicial district) left and right. And the firings are clearly politically motivated, with an unpleasant, Rovian twist (is there any other type of Rovian twist?). Josh Marshall, in my opinion, the very best blogger out there, bar none, is all over this story. Go to TPM for the details.

Atrios, scolding the mainstream news networks (you know, the "liberal" media") adds this very relevant point:

The Bush administration is purging federal prosecutors. Perhaps [CNN] should cover this.
