He was a registered Democrat who supported JFK and Lyndon Johnson. He was a Jew who coverted to Catholicism and was pro-Palestinian. He was a sharp and hostile critic of the Iraq war. He was responsible for the Valerie Plame witch hunt. He supported Ron Paul in 2007. He was a Paleo Conservative of the Pat Buchanan mold.

Your point being to spit in his face before he is even in the ground? How thoughtful of you.

Those on the left absolutely despise Robert Novak and Patrick Fitzgerald too. Novak and Fitzgerald have exposed large numbers of crooked left-wing scumbags over the years. (The freepers who baselessly attacked Patrick Fitzgerald as a "Democrat partisan" had egg all over their faces after the "partisan" Fitzgerald indicted a number of top Obama & Durbin supporters)

It's sad that so many freepers are willing to join the left in vilifying them because you can't get over ONE incident involving Novak and Fitzgerald actions on a person who happens to have the same party affiliation as you.

Judging a person's career by one incident and ignoring the dozens of times they've been on the right side is the height of narrowness. All the Patrick Fitzgerald haters on this board remind me of the Ken Starr derangement syndrome on the left. They had nothing but praise for Starr until they decided to destroy him over Monicagate. Talk about putting "party loyalty" over doing what's right for America.

MaestroLC is right. Any "downfall" of Bush's Administration was entirely due to it being their own fault. Alberto Gonzales is a fine example of that. It's his own fault he stepped in it as A.G., not the actions of others.

I agree, pointing out that he supported Ron Paul was a low blow. [grin]
