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.
