President Bush recently fired 8 US attorneys, which he is completely entitled to do, and the mainstream media (MSM) won't shut up about it. Worse, the Republicans can't seem to stop apologizing.

Concurrently, Dianne Feinstein has resigned as chairperson and ranking member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee where she served for six years, during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum's ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.

Feinstein abandoned MILCON as her ethical problems were surfacing in the media, and as it was becoming clear that her subcommittee left grievously wounded veterans to rot while her family was profiting from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. It turns out that Blum also holds large investments in companies that were selling medical equipment and supplies and real estate leases—often without the benefit of competitive bidding—to the Department of Veterans Affairs, even as the system of medical care for veterans collapsed on his wife’s watch.

But the MSM hasn't said a word — and neither have the Republicans!

I can understand silence from the networks, news services and newspapers when a Democrat is caught at corruption; they're on the same side. But why aren't the Republicans saying anything?
