Wrong gender.

NPR’s Ari Shapiro married his partner in SF.

(not that there’s anything wrong with that said in my best Seinfeld voice.)

JULY 27, 2005 : (MORE BLOGGER JOSH MARSHALL’S WISHFUL THINKING CONCERNING HASTERT & RUMORS OF FITZGERALD LOSING HIS JOB) Late this evening I got emails from a few readers who told me about a news story on Chicago’s Channel 9, WGN-TV which pointed out that Patrick Fitzgerald’s term as US Attorney in Chicago is coming up in October and that pressure is building to deny him a reappointment.
As it was described to me, the news segment featured an interview with former Sen. Peter Fitzgerald (R)(no relation), who suggested that Denny Hastert might be pushing to turn Fitzgerald out of his job.
And who would think a stand-up guy like Denny Hastert would stoop to something like that? -——— “Hastert to Can Patrick Fitzgerald?,” By Josh Marshall, From: Politics , The Coffee House Politics Jul 27, 2005 — 11:29:30 PM EST

*********

JANUARY 2005 : (DURBIN, OBAMA WANT FITZGERALD TO STAY ON) Illinois Democratic Senators Dick Durbin and Barack Obama have been on record since January — before the White House and City Hall probes heated up — as wanting Patrick Fitzgerald to stay. ....Durbin spokesman Joe Shoemaker said Thursday Durbin “thinks there is no finer attorney than Patrick Fitzgerald. He is honest and thorough.’’....-——.—————— “Feisty U.S. attorney’s job safe,” BY LYNN SWEET Sun-Times Washington Bureau Chief , July 29, 2005

“Progressive” blogger Joshua Micah Marshall at Talking Points Memo continues his obsession with the “Hillary Clinton-Bosnia-Sniper” story.

It’s all so predictable that it’s a no brainer to write the script.

I smell sulfur, and I’m a long way away, and generally, the wind blows from west to the east!

It is interesting to watch this develop...they are letting the small outrages slip, in order to cover the BIG outrages...and I believe at this point scandal fatigue is starting to set in. This and the Huma thing, in ordinary times, would in themselves be newsworthy...

They can’t coordinate in writing because it can be subpenaed.

Just a strategy meeting... Need to make sure that everyone's on the same page, parroting the same lines to a compliant, willing media ministry of propaganda.

They've proven they're independent to the few in the public who actually bother with the news, by their selective outrage over the AP phone records seizure, but they know who butters their bread... It was all just a show.

"And now back to our regularly scheduled programming..."

Remember when wrong doing in official circles called for lawyers and political old-heads?

Now it is media fiction specialists and misdirection publicists all pretending to be independent pontificating egg-heads.

This Lerner woman pleading the 5th is an effing big deal, it is as if the IRS scandal is the issue they want us to focus on and not Benghazi. If this is not their plan then they are already screwed beyond redemption.

Whatever they’re planning you can bet your ass it ain’t the truth.

Thanks for the ping! I remember Marshall serving as a disinformation channel during Wilsongate.
