3. Here is one

Ken Starr spent millions of dollars and several years to investigate Whitewater and basically found nothing.

4. Fitz appointed by admin. he was going to investigate.

Well, both were appointed by republicans, conservatives. That's a similarity.

5. I have a secret suspicion Ken Starr was a perv...

...and that Pat Fitzgerald isn't.

[satireV]

7. Oooh I forgot that.

When Starr spoke he gave me the creeps. Then that soft porn report sealed it for me.

I think he has a personality disorder.

We sure don't see Fitzgerald in public much. Much less speaking.

10. Yeah...big time creepy...

...just from my rather simplistic POV. Call it 'street-smart' if you want. There was something wrong there.
And I'm actually a pretty tolerant person...love is love, true feeling's all good...there was something wrong with KS...

6. Starr = ASSHOLE Fritz = NOT ASSHOLE

[ClusterFreak]

8. Ken Starr was a smiling, unctuous, camera whore....

....Fitzgerald maintains a sober, serious demeanour before the press, whose presence he tolerates but does not encourage.

Fitz ingores/avoids press exposure.
