10th Anniversary of Fitzmas!!!

Hi Everyone,

With the 10th anniversary of Fitzmas fast approaching, what do you plan to do to ring in the event? For newer members, perhaps we could use this thread to chronicle the original incident for historic purposes and share a few laughs.

Let's not wait until "24 business hours" before the anniversary to start the discussion.

Wow, the unbelievable expectations. The unwavering belief that the piece of shit Dick Cheney would actually get charged.

I admit, I was sure hoping it would happen. Nobody deserves prison more than that dirtbag. The fact that he will be allowed to die without trial really pisses me off.

I remember Fitzmas mania here, I was one of the maniacs. Wishful thinking on my part. I hope canned ham Rove at least sweated a bit over it.

I wonder what became of him (Fitzgerald)?

I remember that photoshopped pic of Karl Rove being dragged into custody, with wet pants!

and we were shouted down as "debbie downers".

it's tough being a realist in a oligarchy sometimes.

I'm sure people didn't like facing reality back then...they sure don't now either.
