#1 Fitzgerald has been spot on in Chicago getting pols who are criminals. The Libby case does not fit his M.O.. I almost wonder if the Dems have something bad on Fitzgerald himself?

#2 OK, let's talk about Sandy Berger then. Classified documents in his pants or was he just glad to see us?

#3 “Novak wrote that Armitage did not slip me this information as idle chitchat, as he now suggests.”

Makes for great fodder over cocktails but not only hasn’t Armitage been charged with a crime it appears he hasn’t violated any ethics rules. Besides that, one can only imagine that he is about as untouchable as it gets. Now get out there Dick and bench-press Novak’s bony ass through a plate glass window.

#4 I want Fitzgerald on a lie detector.
I smell treason.

#5 Armitage is "our kind, dear"... they really don't eat their own.

#6 "Prick". Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

#7 So, who's in a tighter spot? Nifong or Fitzgerald? Both guys are going to face the potential for some nasty charges after their prosecutions fall through.

#8 The Donks in Illnois tried their best to get Fitz pulled from his pursuit of their corruption to concentrate on the leaks full time. Fitzgeralds pursuit of the Kleptocracy in Illinios is doing more to restore democracy than what Nato is doing in Afghanistan!
What frightens national pols is the local corruption or Illnois leads to their offices in D.C. According to indictments and guilty pleas, Rove is only one person removed from it and Kjellander is in it up to his eyebrows; as is Durbin and others. THAT IS WHAT MAKES FITZ SO DANGEROUS AND WHY SOME FOLKS WANT HIM GONE.

#9 I still think it was a Durbin/Hastert/IL Combine hit job, Fitzy was getting close to Richard II.

He was a good prosecutor, doing good things in IL.

#10 Maybe so, but I wouldn't give a cup of spit for his anti-White House staff work in DC.
Remember, Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson are anti-Bush operatives. There is a war going on. What exactly is Fitzgerald doing ?

#11 The case against Libby is extremely lame given no underlying crime and a plausible story that he was just confused (hundreds of calls and emails per day).

But Fitz's most disgraceful act was to keep innocent people hanging (and paying 300 bucks an hour for legal help) for years before finally exhonorating them. It is prosecutorial malfeasance and the timing must have been politically motivated for what is a very simple case.

Maybe he should go to Durham, NC and help with the Duke lacrosse case. That prosecutor is barely worse.
