The Wall Street Journal editorial page and the local radio talk-show guy are writing off the Bush administration's firing of selected U.S. attorneys as a "hey, they all do it" sort of thing. After all, isn't that what Clinton did in 1993? But this isn't that, as pointed out here.
The gist: Dismissal of the whole lot, as done by Clinton in '93, is par for the course. The firing of a targeted group for political purposes in the middle of a presidency, however, is playing dirty. That's what is at issue now.
