and the fact that Obama fires IG’s that were doing their job is just not even worth reporting???????

Media is dead.

This story could not have come out at a better time for the GOP. The Dems probably think though that it’s good timing for them because they need another diversion.

We care because obama and his cohorts in crime need another distraction. Without one, the masses might wake up to what a mess obama is making of the Country. They're going with what they know: Bush's fault, blame Bush, find something from Bush's administration to trot out. Hmph, that well is pretty dry.

What they are not mentioning is that while President, Bush did fire some...but Clinton fired all of them. I haven't checked that, but I remember hearing that the last time the socialists...I mean 'rats brought this up.

More likely Obama will send in one of his closer friends to bomb the Times building to the ground.

“Internal e-mail messages in the spring of 2005 at the White House showed that there was widespread unhappiness with David Iglesias, the United States attorney in New Mexico, because of the perception among top Republicans that he was dragging his feet on voter fraud and corruption investigations involving Democrats.”

Refusal to do one’s job sounds like grounds for firing to me. I don’t get it.

The investigation focuses on whether people, under oath, lied or gave misleading information. I don't know why Rove, Miers, Gonzales, et al just didn't stick to the "it's the President's prerogative" statement and leave it at that. Once people try to do some fancy dancing while under oath, they tend to get in trouble.

Hey Dhimmies! Look up “serves at the pleasure of the President.” Then go take a bath with a plugged-in toaster.

"The Clintonistas fired all 93 of their DOJ attorneys..."

Clinton fired appointees from the previous opposite party administration. This is not an uncommon practice for an incoming president in his first term and under those same circumstances Reagan, George H.W.Bush and George W. Bush did it as well.

This whole case began when Bush took the unusually rare step of firing several of his own appointees in his second term. While it was his right to do so, questions were initiated and it snowballed.

“He didn’t get rid of enough of them.”

....I couldn’t agree more!
