This is perhaps a profound grasp of the obvious, but I'll say it anyway:
The prosecutor firing scandal makes the prosecutors who weren't fired look like toadies and political hacks -- with one exception. Our U.S. attorney here in northern Illinois, Patrick Fitzgerald, has been such a non-toady and non-hack that the Bush administration can't easily get rid of him.
Meanwhile, Josh Marshall, the blogger with the best grasp of this whole business, has this to offer.
UPDATE: Perhaps I've painted the non-fired prosecutors with too broad a brush. A bunch of them, at a meeting in Chicago hosted by Pat Fitzgerald, gave Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a pretty good dressing down the other day.
