Did Bush fire some of the worst "profilers"?

Comparing the list of removed U.S. Attorneys with the bogus study on "political profiling" reveals that Attorney General Gonzales may have removed some of the worst offenders, the very U.S. Attorneys that Professors Shields and Cragan believe are most biased against Democrats.

Researching my earlier post today, I broke down their data by state. The top 3 worst offenders, the 3 states with the largest ratio of Democrat investigations to Republican investigations, based on their flawed data collection, were Maryland, Michigan, and Nevada, with California weighing in at 14th place. The removed U.S. Attorneys, shown with their state's Shields and Cragan bias ratio, are from: Michigan (18 to 1), Nevada (13 to 1), California (6.6 to 1), Arkansas (2 to 1), New Mexico (1 to 0), Washington (0 to 0 to 3 Inds), and Arizona (-2 GOP to 0 Dems).

There you have it, folks. The Bush Administration removed three of the U.S. Attorneys most biased against Democrats. What an awful bunch of partisans.

I am of course being tongue-in-cheek here. As I've amply demonstrated, the Shields and Cragan study is worthless. Perhaps this bit of snark will help some folks realize just how worthless it is.

By the way, I am well aware that there are several judicial districts within most states, each with their own U.S. Attorney. The prosecutors removed in California, Michigan, Nevada, and the other states could be the unbiased ones going after Republicanss while Republithugs in other districts in the state are persecuting all the Democrats. But I doubt it.

As a technical note, the bias ratio shown for each state above is the ratio of Democrat to Republican investigations of elected officials at all levels of government, federal, state, and local.
