A Wreck of a Case
The Libby obsessed Patrick Fitzgerald, in the role of Mike Nifong.
(Page 3 of 4)
br>
After all, thought the Left, if we give it some heft,
br>
Perhaps we’ll kill that SOB Karl Rove.
br>
But their plans all died when Woodward took Rove’s side
br>
And the “leak” clearly was inadvertent.
br>
But by now Fitz was hooked; if he produced no crook
br>
Then his whole case would seem unimportant.
/p>
p>He hid Armitage, and he tried arbitrage:
br>
In his market, the down side was prison.
br>
But Miller endured, and her martyrdom cured
br>
The press of buying Fitz’s grand vision.
br>
No underlying crime meant he’d wasted his time
br>
And his glory nobody would herald.
br>
The young prosecutor craved fame as his suitor
br>
But fame wrecked Mr. Patrick Fitzgerald.
