   ....where 8 instead of 93 [1]is an outrage.

     Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday
     dismissed any comparison between the firing last fall of eight U.S.
     attorneys with the replacement of 93 U.S. attorneys when her
     husband became president in 1993.
     "That's a traditional prerogative of an incoming president,"
     Clinton said in an interview with The Associated Press.
     Once U.S. attorneys are confirmed, they should be given broad
     latitude to enforce the law as they see fit, she said.
     "I think one of the hallmarks of our democracy is we have a
     devotion to the rule of law," Clinton said.
     She conceded that should she win the presidency in 2008, she likely
     would replace all of the U.S. attorneys appointed by President
     Bush. She said that's merely following traditions in which
     presidents appoint prosecutors of their own party.
     Clinton argued that the Bush administration's firing of the eight
     federal prosecutors has caused an uproar because it is seen as a
     conservative push to shift the balance of power in favor of the
     executive branch.

   There you have it. If elected, Hillary will immediately replace all 93
   US Attorneys because, well, as President, it would be her right.
   But for Bush to replace eight? Why, that's an outrage, I tell you. An
   outrage!
   The sad part is, a lot of people are buying this "logic". Or is it
   that they just don't care about logic at all?
   I agree with Mark Levin. President Bush should immediately pick eight
   more US Attorneys and fire them. Then tell Congress to kiss his butt.
