Fitzgerald or Bush

[BL611]

A quote about Fitzgerald from one of Bush's "white house allies" in todays NY Daily News "He's a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by god to do very important things". Not to put anyone on the uhhh... couch, but could this person be maybe projecting pent up animosity toward someone a little closer to him???

1. Psych 101

Isn't that called DISPLACEMENT?

2. Well you know

I really don't want to accuse anyone, I'm just saying....

3. White House allies are mostly true believers and syncophants

Turning Georgie's legacy into that of the flaming sword of conservatism is their magnum opus. Think of the mormons defending Joe Smith. Bush supporters are just as fervent.

6. ahem...'conservative'? what's been conserved?

that, to me, is one of the big mysteries of the bush extravaganza; this radical change in policy/purpose of government (government is NOW the jack booted thug enforcers of the 'rule of the overseer') from gov 'of the people, by the people, for the people! which it once was! the stars and stripes has become the 'Wastica' and 'christian' a term of fright (children dress up as christians ie black glasses, brass knuckles, bibles and stormtroop uni's on halloween)

14. It's not so much what is being conserved as what is being promoted

The fearful, needing a strong leader type have a "Great Leader"
The rw christian fundamentalists are getting encouragement at every turn
Xenophobia is now American SOP

4. Are they saying....

God isn't talking to GW anymore?

5. "tapped by god "??? Sorry, God did not appoint Fitz

it was someone a tad more r/w as far as I recall.

Fitzgerald will wipe the floor with these deceitful people because he has integrity and his case is proceeding on the basis of facts. All the neocons have in defence are lies and spin.

7. Fitz was originally 'appointed' by Fitz.

nominated, actually...to be the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois- on September 1, 2001...by former senator peter fitzgerald(r-il), the guy who used to have Obama's job- it was the highlight and lasting legacy of his one-term tenure. The United States Senate confirmed his nomination by unanimous consent and President Bush signed his commission on October 29, 2001.

8. Sorry, I meant the appointment in 2003

to oversee the Plamegate investigation. I should have been more precise in my language. And thanks for the extra information.

12. the U.S. attorney position is what got him the appointment...

so some of the credit still has to go to peter fitzgerald.

13. Peter Fitzgerald was HATED by his own party.

They hated him because he wouldn't walk the party line. He chose not to run again because he would get no backing from the party. He had too many ideas that got him labeled as a "RINO".

9. I'm sure Fitz discussed his views about God

with the GJ and witnesses. How else could this WH ally know that this prude of a prosecutor thinks he's been "tapped by God."

Project much?

10. Good catch.

11. I swear, its like hearing Bush talk about Saddam

Whenever they describe someone they oppose, they always end up describing the Chimperor
