I leave to the political blogs the current spat over former Houstonian and current Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ handling of the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys from various parts of the country, but I did chuckle over Jay Leno’s comment from one of his monolouge’s from late last week:

President Bush held a news conference where he accused the Democrats of playing politics with the firing of the U.S. attorneys. You know, the attorneys he fired for not playing politics.

I don’t know enough about the facts of this affair to make an informed judgment on what ought to be done. However, it does occur to me that the President should be a bit troubled that his Attorney General does not know how to fire some subordinates properly. The database of emails relating to the firings is here.
