The Rise of Another Loyal "Bushie"

This just flew into our mail box:

Perhaps the best way to understand what the controversy about the eight fired U.S. Attorneys is all about is to follow the career trajectory of one of their replacements.

In Little Rock, the Bush administration pushed out a staunch Republican who had a reputation for professionalism and fairness -- and replaced him with a lawyer whose principal experience is making sure that Republicans win elections. The interim U.S. Attorney in Little Rock, J. Timothy Griffin, has been carefully groomed as a "loyal Bushie" since his days in law school.
