NY Times blisters GOP over McKay firing

The New York Times pens a hard-hitting editorial in tomorrow's issue that portrays the firing of John McKay as emblamatic of a Republican party trying to justify its own attempts at voter suppression. Well worth a full read. It ends this way:
These charges, like the accusation that Mr. McKay and other United States attorneys were insufficiently aggressive about voter fraud, are a way of saying, without actually saying, that they would not use their offices to help Republicans win elections. It does not justify their firing; it makes their firing a graver offense.
Republican support is collapsing for Gonzales. This administration is in big, big trouble. Righties can try to issue weird defenses, but once again the unethical and un-American tactics of the GOP and this administration have been exposed for everyone to see. The only ones who can't see it are those who have deliberately closed their eyes and their minds.
