But this didn’t stop the media from coming up with ridiculous arguments against President Bush and how his legal and willful firings of US Attorneys was somehow more serious than when Clinton came in and wiped the slate clean in 1993 to block an investigation of a crucial Clinton ally, Daniel D.

President Bush said on Wednesday that he was “frankly not happy” about the way Attorney General Alberto Gonzales had handled the dismissal of federal prosecutors but that he still had confidence in Gonzalez.
Patterico describes how this will backfire on the democrats.
