Hillary Clinton must think the country has amnesia:

“DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday dismissed any comparison between the firing last fall of eight U.S. attorneys with the replacement of 93 U.S. attorneys when her husband became president in 1993.
“That’s a traditional prerogative of an incoming president,” Clinton said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Once U.S. attorneys are confirmed, they should be given broad latitude to enforce the law as they see fit, she said.

“I think one of the hallmarks of our democracy is we have a devotion to the rule of law,” Clinton said.

She conceded that should she win the presidency in 2008, she likely would replace all of the U.S. attorneys appointed by President Bush. She said that’s merely following traditions in which presidents appoint prosecutors of their own party.”

Yeah, another “clean sweep“. Leave it to her to go out and make an ass out of herself on a story that outside the beltway nobody cares about.

But she does has chutzpah talking about a “rule of law”, and “let prosecutors enforce the law as they see fit”.

Especially striking when you consider that the the main reason for her husband’s clean sweep – which she incidently also participated in – took out most of the prosecutors investigating her and Bill in Arkansas.
