Fitzmas!

Rachel Maddow has realized the thing we've been ignoring for too long during the Rovakgate Rumorfest. The right isn't just speculating idly on what might be good political strategy here... They’re telegraphing what's about to happen. In fact, one of two things MUST happen now:

(A) Fitzgerald is going to disappoint everyone who wants to see indictments in this case by closing up shop (still a possibility), or

(B) Fitzgerald is going to sprout a HUGE bullseye on his head that says ATTENTION RIGHTWINGERS! AIM YOUR FLAMING DOOKIE HERE!

The right may end up hating this investigation for a million reasons, but they'll take it all out on the prosecutor (at least in the short run) if there are indictments. In a way that Dems never did to Kenneth Starr.

Need a refresher on what they're doing to Ronnie Earle in the DeLay case? Here's a handy reminder.

I say it's time for the left to learn a little something about Patrick J. Fitzgerald.

Homework time!

Start here - Washington Post profile.
A great post on him from the White Rose Society here.
Also a good Baltimore Sun profile (via Boston.com) here.

Quizzes come due Fitzmas morning.
