I hate to correct you here, but Iglesias was a Dubya appointee and active Republican (barely losing the open race for Attorney General in 1998). The problem is that he was clearly not aggressive enough in prosecuting the multitude of rodent corruption in an unusually corrupt state. Domenici and Wilson's roles in the matter were along the lines of inquiring "Why the hell isn't he doing his job ?" He was dragging his heels, so there should've been no surprise when he was canned. ALL U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President, and if they aren't doing their jobs effectively, they can be replaced, period. This was a non-scandal.
Thanks for the clarification. GWB, like his Dad, has appointed far too many Republicans who act like Democrats in the futile attempt to make nice and be friends. To his Dad’s credit, someone once asked him what was his worst mistake as president. He replied “He’s sitting on the Supreme Court.” The reference was to Souter, not Thomas, who was his best appointment.
