Malkin: Democrats Will ‘Turn On A Dime’ Against Patrick Fitzgerald
Malkin: Democrats Will ‘Turn On A Dime’ Against Patrick Fitzgerald
This morning on Fox and Friends, right-wing pundit Michelle Malkin took up the conservative mantra of linking President-elect Obama to disgraced governor Rod Blagojevich (D-IL). (In fact, Obama may have “indirectly contributed to the downfall” of Blagojevich.) Malkin and host Brian Kilmeade also insisted that Democrats, in seeking to defend the governor, would turn on U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and attempt to discredit his investigation:
KILMEADE: You know, one thing I think Patrick Fitzgerald is bulletproof. Because if Demcrats are going to say he’s this non-partisan, A-plus investigator when he’s going after Scooter Libby, how could they turn around and say he has an agenda when he’s going after the Chicago governor and wherever those links lie?
MALKIN: That’s a really good point, Brian. Of course, they will try to do it.
BRIAN: Sure.
MALKIN: They turn on a dime on their former heroes and they will in this case.
Watch it:
Yesterday, Illinois state Republican chairman Andy McKenna, talking to Politico, similarly insinuated that Fitzgerald’s job was in danger. “Some have wondered if Barack Obama would keep Fitzgerald,” he said.
Malkin and McKenna are fear-mongering for no purpose, however. Obama has already made it clear he intends to keep Fitzgerald at his post. His transition team yesterday pointed reporters to a statement Obama had made in June: “I still think he’s doing a good job. Yes,” Obama said. “I think he has been aggressive in putting the city on notice and the state on notice that he takes issues of public corruption seriously.”
Other top Democrats share Obama’s view. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said he would ask Obama to renominate Fitzgerald, and yesterday Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said, “I don’t think there is any thought whatsoever of changing the U.S. Attorney in Chicago with these very, very troubling and important times.”
Ironically, it is conservatives who are flipping on Fitzgerald, having excoriated him when he was investigating the Bush White House’s leak of Valerie Plame’s name:
WHITE HOUSE ‘ADVISER’: Fitzgerald’s office, although very professional, has been very aggressive in pursuing people. … These guys are bullies, and they threaten you. [10/9/05]
WHITE HOUSE ‘ALLY’: He’s a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he’s been tapped by God to do very important things. [10/24/05]
TUCKER CARLSON: Fitzgerald’s ignorance didn’t prevent him from accusing Libby – falsely and in public – of undermining this country’s security. Fitzgerald should apologize, though of course he never will. When are journalists going to realize that Fitzgerald is their enemy, and the enemy of the public’s right to know what its government is doing? [11/17/05]
BILL KRISTOL: I now think it’s a politically motivated attempt to wound the Bush administration. … He [Fitzgerald] is now out to discredit the Bush administration. [4/9/06]
LAURA INGRAHAM: The person who impeded the process, Sean, in this, in my mind, is, unfortunately, Patrick Fitzgerald. … This investigation should have been shut down, and Patrick Fitzgerald should have gone on his merry way to prosecute other people. [3/6/07]
DAVID BRODER: Like other special prosecutors before him, Fitzgerald got caught up in the excitement of the case and pursued Libby relentlessly, well beyond the time that was reasonable. [6/10/07]
Despite Malkin’s suggestion, there is of course no Democrat seeking to defend Blagojevich. Last night, in fact, the entire Senate Democratic caucus signed a letter to Blagojevich to “insist” he step down as governor “and under no circumstance make an appointment to fill the vacant Illinois Senate seat.”

I support Fitzgerald.

December 11th, 2008 at 2:38 pmOk but WHO in the so-called “mainstream media” will be bold enough to point out the obvious hypocrisy of the right (wrong) wing?

Noone.
We’ll have to rely on the usual, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Colbert, Mr. Olbermann, and the rest of you, the informed voiceless citizens here on TP and other progressives sites.

Is Fitzgerald the last sane Republican?
December 11th, 2008 at 2:39 pmMalkin is a hyper-partisan hack. She abandons journalistic integrity for right-wing fear-mongering and claims that have no factual standing or credit.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:41 pm“The Chicago Governor”???
Wha…?
Once again, right-wingers display classic symptoms of projection.
Either that, or they just figure that since THEY would “turn against Fitzgerald on a dime”, everyone would.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:42 pmWhat planet does she live on. Have you even seen ONE Democrat who is defending Blago? I haven’t. Another typical case of projection by a Republican. It is the Republicans who defend their crooks, not Democrats.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:46 pmBy the way, I’m a little hopeful that, since Eric Holder’s nomination as Attorney General may not go as smoothly as previously thought, that perhaps the post will go to Patrick Fitzgerald or James Comey.
Both Republicans, yet both have demonstrated outstanding integrity and commitment to the rule of law. Either would be a great appointment for Obama to make.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:47 pmIt’s been so long since we heard anything from Malkin, I thought she had finally gone away.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:48 pmPoor, crazy Michelle Malkin. The voices in her head must be yelling again, because (as the post said) there are exactly ZERO Democrats who are supporting Blagojevich or calling for Fitzgerald to call off the investigation.
What we have here is a clear case of projection, where Michelle and her fellow moon-bats are simply assuming that Democrats are doing what they would do in the same situation.
Try again, you crazy wingbat!
December 11th, 2008 at 2:48 pmThe entire Democratic contingent of the Senate signs a letter demanding Blagojevich resign immediately, and Malkin ‘argues’ Dems are going to turn against Fitzgerald?
Hmm, how did Republicans react to their embarassing members? Oh yes they immediately defended every single one and continued to defend them, even set up defense . Cunningham, DeLay, Stevens . Libby, Vitter, etc.
And Malkin et al are know ‘defending’ Fitzgerald in an imaginary ‘war’ against him conducted by Democrats? When the entire Freeper community and the GOP attacked Fitzgerald for the Libby case?
Sorry…I forgot how the system works…never mind.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:49 pmTo a casual observer, Fox News certainly appears to be right wing. But Billo said not, so it must not be.
Malkin is deranged, unhinged and has found her rightful home in Faux News, surrounded by like thinking idiots.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:49 pmMalkin’s make believe democrat war on Fitzmas is as phoney as O’riley’s war on x-mas. Deranged and paranoid beyond belief.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:53 pmThey did. As carlson points out in the quips above, the republicans spoke well of Fitzgerald until the libby incident……then, quite expectedly, they turned on him.
It’s always the hypocricy isn’t it?
December 11th, 2008 at 2:53 pmMarie Says:
Wasn’t it the repugs who wanted Fitzgerald to be fired for prosecuting Scooter?
Marie, it’s only called prosecution when it comes to the Dems. For the GOPers, it’s call persecution.
And I fully support Fitzgerald, as does our President-elect. No corruption from any party will be tolerated.
And that’s what scares the shit out of the Repugs.
PEACE
December 11th, 2008 at 2:53 pmI have spoken to several progressive friends NOT ONE of them condone Blagojevich’s actions or question Fitzgerald’s motives They are in fact cheering him on, this is not a right left thing this goes to the core of democracy. Democracy by definition makes these things possible hence when they happen they must be dealt with instantaneously. Power on Patrick
December 11th, 2008 at 2:55 pm“WHITE HOUSE ‘ALLY’: He’s a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he’s been tapped by God to do very important things. [10/24/05]“
Sounds more to me like they were speaking of Bush than Fitzgerald.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:56 pmSomewhere out there Anne Coulture’s jaw muscles just wrenched in agony as she tried to stifle a wail of anguish that Malkin scooped her on this bullshit due to her maw being wired shut by some sympathetic doctor. Can we get one to wire Malkin’s mouth shut as well before more of her bullshit seeps it’s way into the ether?
December 11th, 2008 at 2:56 pmTo Malkin, as for most of the other rightwing neocon nutjobs, facts or reality have little effect. These morons live in their own fantasy worlds and rewrite history to fit what they want to espouse at the moment. The neocon memory or conscience is pretty much nonexistent.
December 11th, 2008 at 2:59 pmright-wing pundit Michelle Malkin took up the conservative mantra of linking President-elect Obama to disgraced governor Rod Blagojevich
- – The friggin’ Right wing is salivating to impeach Obama before he even takes the oath of office. This is sure good news for this country’s future, eh?
December 11th, 2008 at 3:01 pmAll Democratic Senators have called for Blago to NOT fill the senate seat.
All Democratic politicians have condemned Blago.
So, what the repugs are doing is trying to make a case here – hoping that the public will forget that they seldom if ever accuse one another of wrongdoing. How many stood up for Ted Stevens? How many for Abramoff? How many for Libby? How many for Delay?
December 11th, 2008 at 3:01 pmAnd how many today STILL maintain full support for the crime team of Bush/Cheney & Company?
What is Malkin smoking?
December 11th, 2008 at 3:01 pmSpencer’s mom – you are right. It all depends on which side of the prosecution/persecution you are on.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:02 pmIf Malkin would bother reading the news instead of making it up as she goes along, she’d know the Democrats have already demanded Blagojevich’s resignation.
Of course, that would require her to know how read. I guess she’s stuck at her idol, Bush’s reading level, and never got past “My Pet Goat.”
December 11th, 2008 at 3:04 pmGoes to show ya how out of touch with reality Malkin and crew are. There are no Democrats supporting Blagojevich and no Democrats set and ready to attack Fitzgerald. The only complaint that Democrats would have against Fitzgerald would be a disappointment in him for not charging traitor Rove with crimes in the case of exposing a covert CIA agent.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:07 pmA Patriot Acting Says:
Somewhere out there Anne Coulture’s jaw muscles just wrenched in agony…
LOL Before I read your comment, I was about to comment on Anne and her wired jaw, but I thought that I should read the comments first to see if someone beat me to it…and sure enough.
¶ AIO
December 11th, 2008 at 3:08 pmWow. Total disconnect from reality. If she really thinks Democrats are going to rally behind Blagojevich, then she isn’t paying attention to anything other than the voices in her head.
Malkin is perhaps assuming that the Democrats use the same playbook as Republicans and will blindly defend any wrongdoing if it is done by a member of their own party.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:10 pmRepublicans can only traffic in straw men, because they’ve got zero support for their (choose one: idiotic, corrupt, criminal, mendacious, incompetent) agenda.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:13 pmRove is certainly a bigger crook than “the Governor of Chicago”.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:14 pmMarie Says:
Spencer’s mom – you are right. It all depends on which side of the prosecution/persecution you are on.
This statement is correct if you mean the fascist right wing.
For us on the left, I think we will accept justice where ever we can.

I hadn’t heard, Ralph, is Holder in trouble? Have any Senate Dems harrumphed and I missed it? I know the R’s don’t like him..
December 11th, 2008 at 3:18 pmAs someone who has worked for local and State campaigns, I find Blagojevich’s behavior nauseating and disgusting. Send him off to jail and be done with him. I do think that Blagojevich is enjoying all this press coverage even though it is negative. He loves himself too much and wants to be the center of attention… like someone else… George W Bush to be exact.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:18 pmIts unfortunate that the headquarters of Fixed News aren’t in Chicago so Patrick Fitzgerald could indict the entire cabal for defrauding the American public in the name of “news.” Malkin and the rest of them should live well and prosper among the 30 percent of the nation’s sheeple who watch Fixed. The rest of us have more important things to do than make up fairy tales and call them news.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:21 pmKeltoi-
Specter has voiced reservations about Holder. Ironic that he had no qualms about Ashcroft, Gonzales or Mukasey but Holder signing off on Clinton’s legal pardon sticks in Arlen’s craw.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:22 pmI guess you’re not allowed to have higher I.Q. than Sarah Palin in order to be consider a good Republican.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:23 pmA Patriot Acting Says:

Specter-Scmeckter, it is Leahy that counts. No way the R’s can block Holder’s confirmation if the Dems stay solid.

You can’t abandon something you never had.
Just sayin’…
December 11th, 2008 at 3:25 pmMy apologies, Keltoi; A Patriot Acting correctly cited the report that informed my comment about Holder. You’re right, Specter has little power to derail a nomination.
But I would rather see Fitzgerald or Comey in the post, and maybe my personal preference led me to make more of Specter’s hesitation than was warranted.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:27 pmI have an idea. Let’s send a bunch of e-mails to FOX and tell them that we progressives find Malkin to be the most attractive, intelligent, insightful, and enjoyable journalists we have ever witnessed. She is so hell-bent on arguing with our positions that she’s likely to turn on herself to prove us wrong. Oh, the entertainment value.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:28 pmMalkin is in no way a journalist.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:29 pmMalkin = LSOS
Only Fox would put her on the air.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:30 pmMy favorite part of Malkin’s Fox & Friends appearance (which I blogged about here) was the chyron:
“Culture of Corruption: Democrat Party plagued by scandals.”
Umm … yeah, right … that’s what Blago did it, cuz he’s a DEMOCRAT … sure … Okie dokie …. pay no attention to the Republican political scandals of the past 8 years!
December 11th, 2008 at 3:33 pmMalkin is really a despicable little CU-T!
As always, right wingers are playing the game of opposites.
It is their brethren that “turn on a dime” to support members of their own kind (dirt bags).
December 11th, 2008 at 3:35 pmTruth, reality, facts, means absolutely nothing to people like Malkin. The main thing for them now is to connect Democrats in general and Obama in particular to Blagojevich and corrupt Chicago politics. Obama is corrupt because Blagojevich is corrupt. Democrats are corrupt because Blagojevich is a Democrat
December 11th, 2008 at 3:38 pmShorter meaning –
“We will do everything we can to lie about Dems and stir up fake trouble.”
As usual, Repukes are scum.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:40 pmI can’t help but not they refuse to acknowledge their own savaging of Fitzgerald for having the balls to go after Bush and Cheney. “He’s after Die Shrubbenfuhrer! Protect him! SEIG HEIL!” And now that he’s going after a Democrat (Rightfully so!), he’s suddenly an American hero.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:44 pmOK, lemme get this straight. Fitzgerald investigates the White House leak of Valerie Plame and as a result, Republicans slam Fitzgerald, not only proclaiming his findings to be wrong, but condemning him for even investigating in the first place.
So when Fitzgerald investigates a Democratic governor for corruption, the Democrats slam Fitzgerald in similar fashion. Oh, wait — no, they’re not doing that. Instead, they’re condemning the guy who was found by Fitzgerald to be a corrupt political sleazeball, because a corrupt politician is a corrupt politician, regardless of party.
Malkin is merely projecting. She can’t even grasp the concept of anyone having a different set of standards.

December 11th, 2008 at 3:47 pmAll pundits have sucked horribly the last few years but none more worse than the Right Wing. Bet they can’t even spell “reality”.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:56 pmHooray for Patrick Fitzgerald!
December 11th, 2008 at 4:13 pmMalkin reminds me of a blowfish swimming too deep, causing her eyes to pop out of her face.
Is she even a US Citizen?
December 11th, 2008 at 4:21 pmHas Malkin ever been right about anything? About all she can muster are some junior high school-level rants (and I’m being generous) on her little website, and happily play the role of token minority on Fox News. She provides no basis for her ridiculous position that Democrats will turn on Fitzgerald, and in fact, ignores every single fact to the contrary.
December 11th, 2008 at 4:36 pmZimzone says:
Is she even a US Citizen?
I don’t know, but I swear I bought her out of a bar one night in Subic Bay, Philippines when I was in the US Navy.
Or her mom…..
Oh Lord, I’ll KILL myself IF…….
December 11th, 2008 at 4:41 pmThose two-faced pigs still haven’t figured out why they got their asses kicked.
December 11th, 2008 at 4:41 pmNews that U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has indicted Democratic Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich predictably brought cheers from the conservative chattering classes. Blagojevich’s arrest over the “pay for play” Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama and myriad other jaw-dropping corruption schemes Fitzgerald simply deemed “staggering” led the right-wing Hot Air blog among others to proclaim “Fitzmas arrives early this year.” Of course, when the crime was obstruction and perjury over the outing covert CIA operative Valerie Plame as political payback by the Bush administration, the mouthpieces of the right slandered the Republican Fitzgerald as “politically motivated”, “disgusting”, “a lunatic” – and worse.
For the details, see:
December 11th, 2008 at 4:57 pm“Bagging Blagojevich or How the Right Learned to Love Patrick Fitzgerald.”
Malkin needs to go back to the New Jolo Club in Subic Bay (Marines and sailors will appreciate that).
December 11th, 2008 at 5:04 pmThey turn on a dime on their former heroes and they will in this case.
Just because this is what Neocons do doesn’t mean everyone does it. These people think everyone should think like them when what they don’t realize is that they’re thinking is morally bankrupt.
December 11th, 2008 at 5:09 pmAnd of COURSE the chyron would say “Democrat Party”…
It’s been licensed by the GOP …
December 11th, 2008 at 5:24 pmSince when did Chicago become a state?
December 11th, 2008 at 5:42 pmMalkin is one of the most abrasive, ill-informed, bigoted racists ever to hit the airways. How she can live with herself, her ethnic background, her family, etc. is beyond any reasonable, thinking person. And her lies & deceit? Don’t get me started, don’t even get me started…. Malkin is one of many radical right-wing ignorants who are (to quote Shakespeare) “full of sound & fury, signifying nothing”.
December 11th, 2008 at 5:48 pmsorry michelle – not everyone is as scummy as you and your righty ilk.
December 11th, 2008 at 5:52 pmWhere did the dim wit get the idea that Dems see Fitz as a hero. As far as I am concerned the sneaky and clever bastard played his politics well and skillfully avoided getting to the heart of the Plame matter.
December 11th, 2008 at 6:14 pmAre the right wingers ever right about anything? It’s lucky for them they have little conscience and even less guilt. Otherwise, they would burn up into a heap of ash from the hand of their god in a millisecond.

What planet does she live on. Have you even seen ONE Democrat who is defending Blago? I haven’t. Another typical case of projection by a Republican. It is the Republicans who defend their crooks, not Democrats.
Right! The story is on every network 24/7 and I have not seen 1 Democrat side with him in the slightest. They are calling for his resignation and hoping the Senate refuses to seat any choice of his. Rachel Maddow questioned if he was insane. Also, all Dems said William Jefferson should have resigned.
December 11th, 2008 at 6:48 pmNow McCain has dumped his best friend Joe the Plummer. Now Senator Specter is doing his best to stall the appointment of Holder. Look for Obama to pull out his aces yes aces. Obama will put interm AG in until Holder is confirm. Obama/Biden will pick Patrick J. Fitzgerld or the following
December 11th, 2008 at 6:54 pmlawyers Iglesias, Ryan, McKay, Chartlon, Lam or Cummings. Now Spector knows all of them very well if he doesn’t just read any news paper headline. Yes Specter can see Fitzgerald hold the AG office and all hell with break out with Fitz in charge.
Senator Specter will hold up the confirmation of Eric Holder and he’ll get a big surprise.
Obama will put a interm in as AG until Holder is confirmed.
December 11th, 2008 at 7:08 pmPatrick J. Fitzgerld or Iglesias, Ryan, McKay, Chartlon, Lam or Cummings. Yes Specter knows these lawyers very well. Now Fitz will bust a hold in the Law Makers crime wave as he did with Scooter Libby/G-Rod. Senator Specter is a lawyer who can’t recall anymore. Holder as Deputy AG could only recommend Mark Rich’s pardon. President Clinton made the decision of any pardon.
Ralph the Wonder LLama: I agree with you about the Attorney General position–I was very, very disappointed that he didn’t pick Fitzy–the guy is squeaky clean and would have been just perfect for the job–why he ever picked Holder is beyond me.
Malkin is an ass–she’s like Bill Kristol, never accurate about anything but always Right.
December 11th, 2008 at 7:12 pmMaybe Malkin might have something here.
For a girl that turns on a penny. maybe she recognizes something.
December 11th, 2008 at 7:13 pmThen again, Malkin might be on LSD again…….
can’t someone wire this mediawhore’s jaw shut like they did with trannie coulter?
December 11th, 2008 at 7:23 pmI think you folks have misunderstood what she said.
Besides that, I have to say I’m still no fan of Mr. Fitzgerald mainly because of his prosecutorial misconduct in the Scooter Libby case.
What I’m wondering is why they decided to arrest the governor when they could have waited and got EVERYONE involved. Something smells here.
For one thing, it sure is curious how Obama pulled his favorite nominee for his vacated Senate seat JUST PRIOR to the governor’s arrest! I’m waiting to hear him tell the world that Mr. Emmanual is NOT the operative named in the indictment…
December 11th, 2008 at 9:02 pmInteresting theories, Timmeh. On what do you base them?
You say that we have “misunderstood” what Ms. Malkin said. Can you explain to us the nature of this “misunderstanding” and interpret the true nature of her remarks?
Thanks awfully.
December 11th, 2008 at 9:31 pmralph,
Well, it wasn’t like someone was going to DIE if they let the investigation continue! It sure seems odd that they would pull up just short of catching others who were obviously going to make a deal with the Governor.
December 11th, 2008 at 10:19 pmIt is only obvious in Your mind that they were going to make a deal.
December 11th, 2008 at 11:07 pmTimmeh, I noticed you failed to explain to us what Ms. Malkin actually meant — y’know, seeing as how we’ve all misunderstood when she said, “They turn on a dime on their former heroes and they will in this case.”
I’m sure it was just an oversight.

You wouldnt know prosecutorial misconduct if it got your horse molesting relatives off on a technicality. I’m pretty doubtful you’d be allowed to sweep the floors at Fitzy’s undergrad school..curious see if you can pull up mista fitzgeralds legal record and see how many times he’s been found to have committed misconduct.. I think its hilarious that you think that the people who said “we know where saddams weapons are” wouldnt lie and try to obstruct justice..
December 12th, 2008 at 8:27 am>I think you folks have misunderstood what she said.
Thank god we have Timmy “the guy who cleans the toilets at a coal plant” Vaculick to explain it to us..
December 12th, 2008 at 8:28 amExcept, CJ, that Timmeh never DID explain to us where we wrong in our understanding of Ms. Malkin’s comments.
