Patrick Fitzgerald
I’ve just watched Patrick’s news conference. All I have to say is, thank you Patrick. This crazy country needs more centrists, and I think your doing a bang up job.
Just for fun:
.. liberals who thought that perjury was a trivial procedural detail in 1998 will be full of outrage. Conservatives who then believed that perjury was right there in the 7th or 8th circle of Hell will now characterize it as “driving 56.”
Yeah I know.. I know, it’s different this time. Not.

I had to chuckle…did you read the definitions? Since the two poles do not seem to be well defined and can mean different things in different places and even have a place in Marxist theory perhaps it is truly a “recursive definition where a centrist is merely defined by other centrists as “someone who agrees with me”. In this case the number of centrists can not be determined except to say that there are far fewer centrists than people claiming to be centrists”…
Russell’s paradox is fascinating in terms of how contradictory the term can be…
With that said, Fitzgerald did an excellent job both in the manner in which he approached the investigation as well as the care and thoughtfulness that went into the indictment; including his presentation.
Not sure you why you think that Fitzgerald is a “centrist”…I think of him as someone doing his job competently. Perhaps we’re surprised because it is hard to see anyone in Washington (including the wacked out administration) doing theirs?

I guess maybe I should have used the term “independant” instead.
