>> Fitz is a talented, ruthless and unscrupulous prosecutor
Talented and ruthless, eh?
And that explains the great strides he has made in his prosecution of Rod Blagojevich just how?
No, my take on Fitzgerald is, he is JUST like Eliot Spitzer — an egomaniac, a force to be reckoned with, a fire breather, but *only* until someone with guts stands up to him. The rest is pure PR (with the help of a complicit press) and intimidation with no substance or gravitas behind it.
Sadly, Robert Novak was not the man to stand up to Fitzgerald, although he could have been. I understand, but I sure don’t respect him for it.
