Let’s keep our perspective here…let’s try to stay off the mountain top until the indictments come if they come…..remember we have been screwed before by this bunch and regardless of what we think at the moment, Fitzgerald is a Republican investigating Republicans.

If there is no indictments and no report….I see a very deep, deep valley ahead.

1. Why do you say that Fitzgerald

is a Republican?

[The Whiskey Priest]

3. He was nominated by a Republican.....do think a Republican would nominate

Democrat?


Patrick Fitzgerald has served as U.S. Attorney for Northern Illinois since September 1, 2001, after being nominated to the position on the recommendation of U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL). On October 24, 2001

4. but all indications

are that he is not political.

I don't think Fitzgerald is a Democrat either.

And I do believe a Republican would nominate a non-Republican if that person was an old college buddy, btw.

6. And Peter Fitzgerald was a conservative Republican.

I live in Illinois and had the misfortune to have him as one of my Senators for four years.

8. my in-laws are freepin fundies

but my husband is not. Family ties don't dictate political leanings.

9. Peter and Patrick Fitzgerald are not related.

They just happen to have the same last name.

On edit: Ashcroft would have died before he let a Democrat be appointed special prosecutor on this.

[thinkingwoman]

10. I sit corrected

that's what I get for reading quickly and making an assumption. :eyes:

Thanks for correcting me greataunt.

Yes, Ashcroft would have died first. He would sooner have boiled himself in that oil he likes so much.

11. I live in Illinois...so I know about the Fitzgeralds.

You are welcome. Hell, I have repuke relatives as well.

[thinkingwoman]

12. well hello neighbor

I'm a Hoosier.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Hello back, neighbor.

I am in Chicago.

2. "Fitzgerald is a Republican investigating Republicans. "

Proof?

14. the stale old "Attack of the Liberals" ....

I just don't think that whine has much traction anymore...

"When I first read this editorial, the argument sounded vaguely familiar. And then it hit me. An old "Simpsons" episode featured a Rush Limbaugh-like talk show host bemoaning the conviction of attempted murderer and Republican loyalist Sideshow Bob. "My friends, isn't this just typical? Another intelligent conservative here, railroaded by our liberal justice system," he tells his listeners in disgust."
