Left In Lowell

Wow. I watched some (and listened to more in the car) of special prosecutor Fitzgerald’s press conference. He was very articulate, and sounded so full of…what’s that word…I used to know it…integrity.

He spent an hour talking and taking questions. This is a man who understands how important this investigation is to Americans, but also how justice is supposed to work and when to keep his mouth shut. And in explaining why he’s keeping his mouth shut on further investigations, shows that gosh-darn rare integrity. I was impressed by his background when people talked about him; now I’m in love with this man’s sense of history, justice, and the American Way.

The case against Libby is sounding devastating. This will be one fun trial to watch. And the Republicans (and you Dems too), learn this lesson: you don’t screw with this US Attorney.

It’s going to be damned hard to smear this man, even given how practiced the White House is at leveling attacks on people of integrity. Watch them explode! He brushed aside most of their talking points like cobwebs in the corner. Forget the “perjury is just a minor crime” or “they can’t nail him on any real charge so they went after obstruction of justice.” Fitzgerald addressed that beautifully.

This is a rare moment when truth meets justice, folks. Happy Fitzmas.
