Is It Just Me?

Does it seem like almost everyone, at least in the MSM, has lost sight of the ball here? The problem is not that Bush illegally fired the (pick a number 7-8-10-whatever) US Attorneys; he was certainly within his rights to do so, for cause or not. The problem is (say it with me!) OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE in the cases that at least five of the USAs were pursuing. They were fired for no good reason while in the middle of pursuing Republican pols/associates, and, given the story coming out about the Big Tobacco obstruction by the top of the DOJ, it seems unlikely that these firings were anything but attempts to obstruct. This is the meme here, not any other, regardless of how shiny and pretty. This is our Watergate. Nail these bastards to the wall and then put them under the jail. If David Broder whines about 'incivility', then quote Vice Preznit Big Dick to him: "Go fuck yourself!'

It seems likely that there was obstruction in other cases: Abramoff, NH phone, god knows what else. The only reason we haven't heard (yet, anyway) from these cases is that the USAs in those cases went along with the obstruction and weren't fired.
