UPDATE! Fitz Returns to the Office ---pix->>>

[Stephanie]

It was a coffee run.

Fitzie, honey, I need you to eat a little something. Keep your strength up.









Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald returns to his office in Washington, DC October 27, 2005. With the fate of at least two top White House advisers hanging in his balance, Fitzgerald appeared set to announce his decision on Friday on criminal charges over the outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame, lawyers said. Fitzgerald has zeroed in on Lewis Libby, chief of staff for U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove, Bush's top political adviser. REUTERS/Micah Walter

[Der Blaue Engel]

1. Lol!

I am loving these updates! :D

[FreedomAngel82]

2. He loves that coffee

It is addicting. I had some this morning. No pizza or sandwiches?

[insane_cratic_gal]

87. We should send him some

DU sends a pound of coffee or two

We can even sign it Merry Fitzmas!
:bounce:

[A-Possum]

3. His age seems to vary

From about 28 to 55, depending on the light.

Sweet face though. Just like Tom Hanks.

[zippy890]

27. I read that he's 44

His face is the 'map of Ireland' as they say (meaning he looks Irish)

[myrna minx]

4. Awww...he's just taunting us now.

:loveya:

[Demobrat]

5. The guy goes out for his own coffee?

That's it. I'm having his baby.

[myrna minx]

You're gonna have to get in line.

;-)

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Yeah!!

:loveya:

[glitch]

21. behind me.

oh wait. Damn that menopause!

[Writer]

23. I wonder if Republican women feel the same way?

My guess is NO.

[Catherine Vincent]

26. Yep and the end is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back there!

lol. ;-)

[Tatiana]

72. Can we share?

I :loveya: Fitzgerald!

[cassiepriam]

35. Stand in line honey :))

Maybe he could just raffle off his sperm?? He is a busy man.

[wildeyed]

38. I was thinking of naming my son after him.

Might be confusing for my son since he is already three. But I already cleared it with the hubby, so we are good to go ;)

[Pirate Smile]

6. Keep it up, Stephanie. You are definitely in charge of Fitz Watch!

:)

[CottonBear]

7. The guy right behind him has a bag. Maybe that's lunch in there.

Fitz watching is fascinating! He cetainly has a poker face. He and Harry Reid have the best poker faces in DC!

[jayfish]

8. Quick, Get A Red...

carpet and the Rivers clan on the scene. What movie is he in again?

Jay

[SoCalDem]

29. Joan:..."Fitz...Fitz...Fitz.. Who are you wearing??"

:)

[dave29]

9. Breaking: Fitzie Indicts Ham Sandwich, and Beverage

Grand Jury stunned by poorly prepared food and drink

[electropop]

32. Bush's "Ham Sandwich" nominee immediately indicted.

Bush sets 'em up, Fitz knocks 'em down. DING!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

70. We'll stop indicting ham sandwiches when you stop voting in ham sandwiches

[Taxloss]

10. BUT WHAT KIND OF COFFEE???! WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS?

[VolcanoJen]

11. Worry not... the Fitz-Tracker says he's well-fed!

http://darted.blogspot.com/

[Missy Vixen]

16. What next?

Dry-cleaning pickup? ;-) I like a man who gets his own coffee, too.

In the meantime, imagine what's happening in legal firms all over DC today...:woohoo:

Julie

[Writer]

28. Oh my God, we have gone fucking insane!

:cry: :silly: :cry:

[_Monk_]

66. Hey! I resemble that remark!

I made the fitzmas tracker, I can assure you that I am only moderately insane.

[Stephanie]

68. Welcome to DU!

Very funny! Good work! Where is he now?

[Writer]

69. LOL!

Creative minds are insane :silly:

[Garbo 2004]

81. Well the tracker's great! Well done! LOL n/t

[Writer]

12. Stephanie, are you standing outside his office with a camera?

My God, woman! ;) ;) ;)

[buff2]

13. What's the time span between when he left and returned?

We need to know if he had time to at least eat a sandwich.Just because we are in such a hurry shouldn't interfere in his lunch time,for Khrist's sakes. Inquiring minds want to know. :evilgrin:

[Verve]

14. That's a huge cup of coffee. Must have been a late night!

Keep it up Fitzy! We :loveya: !

[undeterred]

17. Poor baby looks tired.

Come have a nap at undeterred's house!

[electropop]

36. Hey Undie, would you actually let him nap?

I suspect you have nefarious nooner plans...

[undeterred]

41. yeah, but I'm not going to post about it

till later :evilgrin:

[undeterred]

53. except to say that this man

is not easily deterred :evilgrin:

[electropop]

93. LOL!

:9

[FreedomAngel82]

37. No my house!

I'd like to watch him sleep. *sigh*

[foreverdem]

46. Not until he leaves my house

He'd be needing some sleep by then! :evilgrin:

[FreedomAngel82]

59. Hey now

I want some fun too. x(

[StaggerLee]

18. See that Georgie?

You don't know squat about hard work.

Go Fitz.

[deadparrot]

19. LOL. These are a hoot!

Nothing like a little laughter to provide some levity. :)

[dave29]

20. Breaking: Fitzie's Coffee Leaks, is fired from Prosecution Team

"I will not tolerate any leaking," he's overheard saying

[zippy890]

25. No leaks - LOL

[tridim]

22. His poker face is amazing

I've yet to see him with any expression on his face other than what is pictured above. He's really screwing with the media and BushCo.

[Catherine Vincent]

24. Okay, these are better.

I am sure they are probably having lunch brought in and he just steps out for short breaks just to get some air.

[foreverdem]

31. The Fitz Tracker will go nuts

The Fitz Tracker will go nuts if he steps out for frequent breaks.

[Zynx]

30. In that third picture he looks tired.

Very tired. I hope he's been getting enough sleep.

[zippy890]

40. he's getting a nap at undeterred's place

see post #17

:)

The Fitztracker will have to be jammed for a while

[longship]

33. I love this stuff. Keep the reports coming.

Now, I've gotta get another cup of coffee.

If he goes for a single malt scotch, let me know that, too.

[hiaasenrocks]

34. Considering who we're going after here....

maybe we should get Fitz to hire someone to test the coffee before he drinks it.

Canary in a coalmine type thing. Just a thought!

[FreedomAngel82]

39. Maybe that's why he buys it himself

He can keep an eye on the person doing the coffee and he doesn't have to worry about someone slipping something in. ;)

[hiaasenrocks]

44. I'd like to believe that's the case. However....

The Repugs might have infiltrated that Starbucks location and...doubling as the barista! (Or whatever they call the person who runs the machine)

[foreverdem]

48. I'll do it!

Anything for Fitz!

[cassiepriam]

42. Yes he looks very tired, hence the big cup of java.

He has been burning the midnight oil, and tonight is another long night of work? Also first two pics, the wheels are turning as always. But he he is not looking upset, not a lot of angst. He looks in control and calm. Not like when he came out of Rove's GJ testimony.

[IChing]

43. "Laser eyes" if I've every seen them as compared to this guys

focused on the work.


now take a look a shimpy eyes


both from today

any thoughts?

[zippy890]

45. Fitzi has deep-set eyes

He's intelligent and thoughtful, with a fair and open countenance.

chimp on the other hand, has beady eyes, is stupid and shallow with a low-brow neanderthal look

[IChing]

47. Chimp eyes looked scared in my above post

as he should be, it's almost like he knows fitz is looking at him at Howard University today.

[FreedomAngel82]

60. Right on the money

I love Fitzy's eyes. Nice color. The eyes are the way to soul. You can tell a lot about a person with their eyes. *sigh*

[Pirate Smile]

92. OMG - have we analyzed Fitz's handwriting yet?

:D

Please tell me we haven't missed that?

;-)

[ThingsGottaChange]

49. I've got to stop reading these threads.

Having a hard time controlling my thoughts!

[Catherine Vincent]

55. Let it all out, sister!

There's no harm.:)

[Beelzebud]

50. ROFL

[hiaasenrocks]

51. I don't want to start a new thread for this, but...

looking at that third pic made me think a little of a younger Harrison Ford, so I got to thinking (since Ford is older now) who plays Fitz in the movie? :popcorn:

[Catherine Vincent]

54. There were a lot of suggestions in other threads.

Harrison Ford
Tom Hanks
Liam Neeson
Kevin Spacey

I can't remember the others.

[Stephanie]

57. Clooney!

And Gwyneth Paltrow to play me.

[FreedomAngel82]

61. LOL

Yes on Clooney. I want Julia Stiles to play me. ;)

[Stephanie]

63. Unfortunately Julia Stiles is way too young for George Clooney

sorry honey

[FreedomAngel82]

64. She's my age though ;)

[Stephanie]

71. yes, sorry honey

I'll allow you to date Fitz's intern tho.

[FizzFuzz]

84. oh my, no need--let the studio save money....

I'LL play you!

Mr. Fitzpatrick shall star as himself.

I will study old '40's romance-adventures to prepare for the role!!!!!

here's lookin at you, kid.....

:loveya:

[Catrina]

56. Liam Neeson

Fitz is 6'2" or something like that ~ and so is Liam. Fitz was a rugby player ~ saw some pictures of him when he was in College and he was very handsome in his rugby gear. Wish I could find them online. They were on tv.

The guy seems impervious to all the media attention he's getting. And he's likely to get it for a long time to come if he is the prosecutor of the cases he charges. I doubt he'll like that very much. I hope he never, ever gives an interview to the media the way that sleaze, Starr did.

[Catherine Vincent]

58. There are pictures of the Fitz in his rugby gear?

I wish you could find them online too. As far as Liam Neeson, I was the one who suggested he play Fitzgerald because one of the few pics of him he looked just like Neeson. But Kevin Spacey is a good runner up too!

[Beausoir]

67. Must see those pics!!

Liam Neeson is a great choice.

Clooney will work too, in a pinch.

[Catrina]

78. I saw them on one of the MSNBC

shows and I just did a search and found this on Keith Olbermann's site. They had a video clip which showed Fitz as a rugby player (still shots as I recall). It was a sort of short bio ~ but there's not link to the clip here. Maybe someone else can figure out to get it. Anyway, I think this is where I saw it origninally.

Scroll about halfway down the page to where they are discussing him:

First, as widely observed, the special prosecutor, Mr. Fitzgerald, is of a rare and threatening species in Washington, the bureaucrat who does not leak. Who is this man? And if he does not leak, how did he get so far in his line of work?

MSNBC‘s chief correspondent in Washington, Norah O‘Donnell, can at least answer the first of those questions for us.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

NORAH O‘DONNELL, MSNBC CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT (voice-over):

Patrick Fitzgerald has been called the toughest prosecutor in America, a bulldog as relentless as he is brilliant.

Where it says 'video clip', I think that's the bio, but on Keith's site, it's not a link. Maybe on the MSNBC site for that date, they might have the link? He sure was handsome, and just as focused, but with lots of hair in that picture.


http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9671509/

[Catherine Vincent]

85. Thank you for that info Catrina

Are you talking about the bio Keith did last week on Countdown? If that's the one, I actually taped it because I was busy at the time and wanted to watch it later. Think I still have it, and will have to check to see if there is a still photo of him in his rugby outfit. I'll let you guys know. :hi:

[Catrina]

91. You're welcome, cat_girl

Yes, I think so, and also they played the same clip on the Abrams Show. I posted a link to that below also, but still no link to the video.

If you taped it, that's great!! Can you post a still pic from a video? If so, I think you'll be the most popular girl on DU!! :rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

62. I don't think Fitzgerald will be like Starr at all

Not from what we've seen so far. And you've seen pics of him in college? Oh I'd love to see those!!!!

[jayfish]

82. How About....

Beau Bridges

Jay

[crispini]

52. Steph, I really enjoy your threads.

Thanks for keeping us posted! Which may sound sarcastic but at this point all we've got is posting about when he goes out for coffee so I'll take it!

[lonestarnot]

65. Thanks... keep posting ... these are just sunshine!

[ThingsGottaChange]

73. OMG!!! I almost know him!!!!!!

I just found out from my sister that my brother's sister-in-law works for Fitz in Chicago!!! She's an assistant D.A. in his office. Unfortunately, my brother and I don't have much of a relationship anymore. And I barely know his wife's family. Crap! No way to get info or "special pics".

I'll be ok.

[Stephanie]

76. Um, could you ask your sister to ask your brother to ask his sister-in-law

to give Fitz my number? :)

[ThingsGottaChange]

77. Only if you find a pic of him playing rugby! nt

[Catrina]

83. Time for a family reunion, don't you think?

:rofl:

Here's another show, The Abrams Show, that ran the clip of Fitz's bio. But again, there's no link.

The more I read the more I like him ~ mmm, he likes to 'play rough'!! Ooooh, that could fun! :rofl:

O'DONNELL: Fitzgerald is 6 foot, 200-pound rugby enthusiast, likes to play rough. And his career shows he likes to tackle big-name targets. First making his name by jailing mobster John Gambino in 1994.

JAMES COMEY, FMR. DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL: I once told a Chicago newspaper that Pat Fitzgerald was Eliot Ness with a Harvard law degree and a sense of humor.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9695499/

Wonder if we emailed MSNBC and asked them for a link, would they send it? Or maybe ask Keith to post a ink on his site, or to play it again.

[Missy Vixen]

74. Stephanie, he looks like he needs a

good home-cooked dinner. Go get him, girl! :woohoo:

Julie

p.s. I can't believe we don't have a PFEB yet...

[insane_cratic_gal]

89. and a vacation!

A good tan or at least a good flush or blush ;-)

[lanlady]

75. shit, he likes Starbucks

Fitz must be a tool of evil corporations. We're screwed.

[juajen]

79. Scuse me, but isn't Starbucks a blue corporation?

N/T

[FizzFuzz]

80. 'Tis. 100% to Dems.

I am happy to buy Starbucks now.

[Stephanie]

88. oh good!

because they get a lot of my money

[zippy890]

86. Kickie for Fitzie

& its a fun thread

[Leopolds Ghost]

90. Odd... he looks like McCain's younger brother

Not that I'm a huge fan of McCain... just sayin'
