Here's the really stupid thing: there was absolutely nothing wrong with the firings.

They should have just said (more diplomatically) "these people work for me. They're political appointments. I can fire them anytime I want for pretty much any reason I want. So bugger off. If you want to change things so they aren't political appointments any longer then get to work but remember that the last time -- In 1975 -- it was Republicans that tried to do that and the Democrats who thought it vital that they remain political offices."
