>>Let’s see. Clinton fires 90 some odd atty’s and no media hype. President Bush fires 8 and all H*** breaks out?
What am I missing here<<

Do you guys pay attention at all? Using that as a defense just makes you sound ignorant. Rush isn’t even using that one anymore. GWB fired ALL USAs in the same way that Clinton did when he came into office. All presidents do that.

“GWB fired ALL USAs in the same way that Clinton did when he came into office. All presidents do that.”

Can you substantiate that?

No he didn't. And that was in retrospect the greatest mistake of his administration. Most of his problems can be traced to the Clinton carryovers.

Maybe not enough attention. I read the Harriet Myers proposed firing all 93 attorneys and that Gonzalez rejected this as disruptive and thus we have the genesis for limited firing.

If all the attorneys were fired why were there Clinton holdovers still there to be re-fired in 2005?

Here is one of many articles that seem to match my recollection.
