Chuck Schumer's 15 Minutes of Fame...Again

Democrat Chuck Schumer is known for latching onto " hot " issues and capitalizing on them to advance his party's political agenda. That is why it should come as no surprise that he is trying to pull the wool over America's eyes by making a big issue of the Bush administration's firing of 8 federal prosecutors. These are essentially " at will " employees who serve at the President's pleasure. Now that Schumer is accusing the administration of firing selected prosecutors based on the percentage of ( corruption and other ) cases they pursued against members of one party, journalists like Paul Krugman who want to advance this view are even attacking New Jersey's US Attorney Chris Christie, who has presided over the fight against political corruption there. Those journalists have failed to mention that the percentage of corruption cases prosecuted against Democrats versus Republicans in NJ is proportional to the number of Democrats versus Republicans in office in NJ. Thank you Peter Applebom for coming to Christie's defense in last Sunday's New York Times. We say to President Bush, Attorney General Gonzalez, and especially Chris Christie stick to your guns, gentlemen ! It is unfortunate that we can not fire our congressmen at will by voting every time they do ! I dare say Chuck Schumer wouldn't last long in the job !
