Like a bad Mexican dinner, the U.S. attorney kerfuffle continues to come back up again and again. For reasons that baffle those of us who don’t suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome, various Lefties continue to hammer on the case of Thomas Heffelfinger, the former U.S. Attorney from Minneapolis, who doesn’t happen to be one of the 8 US-A’s that was fired. Because someone, somewhere put his name on a list of potential fire-ees, various people have decided to use him as a human brickbat with which to beat the administration.
This is about the silliest thing I’ve seen. Heffelfinger resigned his position nearly a year before AG Alberto Gonzales moved to fire some of his US-A’s. Trying to conflate the issues is like blaming Daunte Culpepper for the bad quarterbacking the Vikings had in the 2006 season. But logic has never been a Leftie strong suit, of course.
There are plenty of things to beat up the Bushies about – the conduct of the war, the way they refuse to defend themselves against the scurrilities of the Lefties, their occasionally pie-eyed assumptions about human nature. But this is just silly.
