FITZ Sighting

[kpete]

Patrick Fitzgerald held a press conference (viewable online) in Chicago today after charging Chicago City Clerk James Laski with receiving $500 a month in bribes to give city business to a company in the Hired Truck scandal.

Best moment:
QUESTION: Given the risk to Mr. Laski's career and his reputation, his sense of honesty here, it doesn't seem like a whole heck of a lot of money given the risk.

FITZGERALD: I'm not going to disagree with you. If what we alledge is true, it's wrong for people to take bribes -- it may also be stupid, but we're in the business of what's prosecuting what's wrong.
Fitzgerald was evidently spotted in Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday, making it less likely (though certainly not impossible -- that is after all what planes are for) that The Hill was right and he was with the grand jury on Wednesday of this week.

He looked awfully chipper and at ease. According to the NYT, Camp Rove does not yet know what Fitzgerald plans to do. Evidently Turd Blossom does not match the Special Counsel for high spirits these days.

5. Someone else said it was the issue with LL on the cover but

they didn't see the article on Fitz. For some reason I can't find this article. Grrr.

7. That's weird

A friend of mine said she had that one but didn't see the article. I will tell her to look thru it again. She must have been nervous or something. LOL!

Thanks Julie! :hi:

9. Cat_girl, it's towards the back

There's one large photo of him with a bunch of his staff members; the article's several pages long. It's there. :woohoo: It's right after the article on Lindsay Lohan.

p.s. I think the article's going up on their website next week.
