Fitz... *sigh* He is incredible (something positive)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0604080216apr08,1,5328838.story?coll=chi-news-hed

"I had an image of public service as being a whole bunch of Mother
Teresas out there. I'm glad they're out there, let somebody else
do it," Fitzgerald said. "The sense was that public service was for me
the thing I'm going to do if I came back in the middle of my life with
a trust fund."

Fitzgerald said he worked three years in private practice and lived
frugally so he could pay off his student loans and take a job in
public service.

"The truth is people don't realize how rewarding public service is, in
a way that's just not taxable," he said.

1. Thanks!
When asked about a "public perception" that prosecutors tacked multiple charges onto indictments with the hopes of "making something stick," Fitzgerald firmly disagreed.

"I think one, it's not ethical to do that, and two, confusion doesn't play to the government's strength," he said.

-----------

Of course we know for sure the indictments against Scooter Libby was the real deal. I think that public perception against prosecutors were for prosecutors like Ken Starr.

5. He is incredible, isn't he?

Absolutely.

Let's hope that there are several students at yesterday's speech by our favorite guy who are also now considering public service as well. We need 'em.
