Krugman on Purge-Gate

Paul Krugman on the US Attorney firing scandal Kevin Drum creatively calls Purge-gate.

Krugman:

The Bush administration has been purging, politicizing and de-professionalizing federal agencies since the day it came to power. But in the past it was able to do its business with impunity; this time Democrats have subpoena power, and the old slime-and-defend strategy isn't working.
