Patrick Fitzgerald

Blago only found guilty of Lying
The US Attorney Who Can't Shoot Straight
Madness! Madness! Outrageous!” special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald shouted in a high pitched voice

Boned Jello

The "Madness, Madness" quote was Fitzgerald  beginning his closing argument in the Scooter Libby perjury trial.  It's where Fitzgerald played Captain Obvious in the quest to bag someone, anyone, in the Bush Administration for disclosing that Valerie Plane kept the Xerox machine filled with toner in her CIA office at Langley.  Don't get me started, you know the story.

Here's why Fitzgerald is a punk.  Almost from day one he knew that it was the openly disloyal Richard Armitage, Colin Powell’s deputy at the State Department, who whispered Plane's name to Robert Novak   Didn't matter.  Bagging Bush, Cheney, or Karl Rove was the career maker, and he was determined to trip one of them up.  In the end he had to settle for Scooter who, after answering the same question 100 times, changed the syntax in some of his answers.  Perjury cried Fitz. 

The next time I hear Fitzgerald's name, he's acting as the US Attorney in Chicago.  And get this - he had run wire-taps on Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who, we were told, had been trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat.  Caught on tape: a veritable who's who of Illinois Democrat pols.  Names like Obama, Jesse Jackson Jr., Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emanuel, blah-blah-blah.   The biggest crooks in the nation's crookedest city, and he had them on tape!  Today a jury found Blago guilty of telling a lie.  That's it.  Patrick Fitzgerald; a punk, and now a putz. All the qualifications to be named to Obama's cabinet, so maybe he's not stupid.

Have you noticed that no matter what else they can't prove, the Feds can ALWAYS convict somebody of lying to them?

Even when they didn't?

What about the one count of "not pausing for breath"?
