always with the clinton thing...

yeah, that's way off drak. they all bring in new guys when they take office or are re-elected. this is not that. instead it's a very big deal. gonzales is gone, and it's going to be conservative republicans - not your clinton lovers - who factor in his removal. they know the difference. further, it's the abuse of the patriot act that may spell big trouble for gonzales, as it should.
