The difference between Patrick Fitzgerald and Kenneth Starr:


No hand and ankle cuffs!


Hand and ankle cuffs!

Now tell me ladies and gentlemen, which was worse? Being involved with the POTUS about a failed land deal worth about $200,000 before said president was in office or being a party to a treasonous corrupt administration that blew the cover of a CIA agent?

caveat - Ms. Miller may have been in cuffs, the media just didn't show.... but if she were in cuffs, I am quite sure it would have leaked out.

2. Fitz has the interests of America as his priority
Starr's priority was always the GOP

3. At some point she had to be in cuffs--she was put in jail--and
the handcuffs are part of the process.
But--Fitzg appears to be treating all of the people he has subpoenaed with dignity. He also does not appear to be biased, as was K. St*rr. Putting yourself across as an unbiased fact-seeker lends some integrity to the justice system as it operates in this administration--something we all deserve.

5. You may be right.
I am amazed there were no photos of Ms. Judy in handcuffs. I betcha he thought that whitewater case was crap.

4. No leaks, no interviews, no meeting TV crews at the curb
Fitzgerald runs his investigations the way a civil libertarian would want them run. He makes me proud of the system.

6. Kenneth Starr had to apologize in the end for doing an three year
investigation that "got" the president on something he did at the end of year three.

Fitz - will never have to apologize for anything.

7. I'm sure Starr rehearsed in front of a mirror every morning.
He thought he was quite the celebrity.

Fitzgerald takes his role seriously and solemnly.
