Xtraeme says:

What's interesting isn't that Gonzales was involved in firing eight US Attorneys, but rather that at the time,

The Attorney General plan[ned] to appoint interim replacements and potentially avoid Senate confirmation by leaving an interim U.S. Attorney in place for the remainder of the Bush administration.

How [did] this happen? The Department sought and essentially was given new authority under a little known provision in the PATRIOT Act Reauthorization to appoint interim appointments who [were] not subject to Senate confirmation and who could remain in place for the remainder of the Bush administration.

As much as I hate to admit it Limbaugh is right. This is a political fishing expedition, yet at the same time if this is what it takes to hold the Bush Administration accountable for its actions - so be it.
