Congrats to long-time bachelor and Scooter Libby prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. He's getting married.

Patrick J. Fitzgerald, 46, the U.S. attorney in Chicago since September 2001, plans to marry Jennifer Letzkus, 34, a teacher, spokesman Randall Samborn confirmed.

Samborn said the couple plan a "small private wedding" but declined to say exactly when or where. He also would not provide Letzkus's hometown.

    The idea that the WH (1.00 / 0) (#5)

    would have a reception for someone who put justice above politics is quite risible :>)

    Your definition of justice (none / 0) (#6)

    is extremely risible.

    that you'd have an accurate concept of justice is even more risible. :>)

    'great work' isn't how he would characterize what he did on the Libby case :>)

    Maybe not, (none / 0) (#10)

    but he was rather fearlessly going after the pervasive corruption that is the hallmark of the Daley administration. I think someone pulled some strings to get him pulled away.

    After seeing what he did to the fomer governor (1.00 / 0) (#11)

    of Illinois, that would be motivation enough to kill two birds with one stone by taking him off investigating the Daley Admin. and putting him on the Libby case which kept him occupied for a while.

    I'm not following you here. (none / 0) (#12)

    Corruption is rampant in the Daley administration, as it was with George Ryan. Why would you not want prosecutions in these cases?

    who wouldn't want the Daley Admin. investigated, and conclude that it would make sense for 'someone to pull strings' and get him out of Chicago and over to Washington, D.C. for the Libby case.

    In essence, I was supporting your argument with more reasoning.  

    I'm not saying it was the right thing to do, BTW.

    I'm against corruption by any public officials, be they Republicans, Democrats, Greens, etc.

    I wish him, her and them happiness.

    (At the risk of sounding sexist or whatever) I hope she can cook and has a tolerance for him working late - 'cause if we all remember Fitz' history correctly, he stacks the empty pizza boxes and has an empty fridge.
