Patrick Fitzgerald: The steely-eyed sleuth

Yes, I recall the "Ken Starr; Steely Eyed Sleuth" articles by the ComPost in the late 90's....

[mewzilla]

The same reason they suck up to Supreme Court judges. First you try sugar, then if that doesn't work, you sling the manure.

[Siena Dreaming]

I'm beginning to think the WH leaked that Rove and Libby might be indicted just to see the left go crazy when they weren't.

Hey, George W. was brought up in a CIA household, with his father as Chief. He knows how to play.

[smonk]

could you imagine the washington compost publishing something like about kenn starr? in a million years?

[A CA Guy]

Well, seems they are chasing down the forgetting of a conversation while under oath about an issue that wasn't a crime.
Seems a strange deal to me. (according to what I heard on Sean H.)

[Mike Darancette]

He drafted a letter that nudged the witness and needled I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the vice president's chief of staff. Three days later, Libby put fingers to keyboard and told New York Times reporter Judith Miller that she was freed from her promise to protect his identity.

He also allowed Miller to avoid telling all that she knew (her other sources) and accepted "I don't remember" as a good answer as to where Miller got the name "Flame". It seems that the only puff revealed so far is Fitzgerald.

Nobody but nobody watches chrissy,don`t worry about that sissy boy.

What, like 200,000 maybe ? Those are pathetic numbers that indicate only inside the beltway types and moonbat whackos are watching.

[irons_player]

"The RATS are really sucking up to this guy."

"This is exactly what I thought when I read this; and I wonder why."


I'm glad you took the time to read the article.

[Wallace T.]

The liberals are hoping that Fitzgerald will be the second coming of Archibald Cox. However, they may wind up with the second coming of Jim Garrison, with his off the wall conspiracy theories on the Kennedy assassination, or of Robert Fiske, the "Mr. Magoo" of the Clinton scandals.

[PogySailor]

The left is building this up, so that when it comes crashing down they can yell that he was "gotten to" by the WH. Dean let the cat out of the bag yesterday with his comments that if no indictments are made, he wouldn't accept that.

[ottothedog]

I am going to LMAO if he doesn't bring indictments. It will be kinda funny to watch him go from steely eyed sleuth to partisan Republican hack.

[Mo1]

I wonder what the MSM will say when Fitzgerald makers it clear that, as defined by the statute, Plame was never outted? Ooops, never mind?

They will have the same reaction as they did with Judy Miller when things didn't go how they thought

[prairiebreeze]

You might want to read this one to get what's very possibly the real scoop on the Plame story. Of course the media couldn't care less about THIS.

Special Report: Was The Wilson Affair A CIA Plot?

[MNJohnnie]

Press puff piece on Fitzgerald which means bad news for the administration

Nope. Just more of the wishful thinking "Here is what I want the story to be" by pretend journalists. Remember the "Army is bogged down in Iraq and cut off from it's supply lines" reporting in March 2003? This is just more media manufactured hysteria. The "Conventional Wisdom" in DC rarely, turns out to be either conventional or wise. Conservative simply must get better at remembering how many time the story turns out to be some what different then the the speculation. I suspect that it will fall in the middle, Not as good as Repbs want, not as bad as Dems hope.

[rushmom]

Boy, I hope you're right. What is your analysis to come to this conclusion?

[mewzilla]

Well, if their heads start spinning like Linda Blair's in The Exorcist, I hope someone gets some pics!

[MNJohnnie]

they finally think they have Bush on the ropes

For what, like the EIGHT time?

[Bar-Face]

I was listening to the RNC parrot today and he was doing his damnest to denigrate and trash Fitzgerald. I have also seen other sources trashing him. I find this very distasteful and very Liberal & Democratic. I know nothing about Fitzgerald, but I want to think he is doing what he thinks and believes is right. As for his partisanship, If it turns out he is on a witch hunt, then we should call him. But I think it is way too early for that.

[Mo1]

It's almost like the press is BEGGING Fitzgerald through words and columns to deliver to them what they believe they so richly deserve.

BINGO!

[irons_player]

You have to be nervous when the PRESS and the CIA are doing the kissy face.
