Do you think Fitz knows the term "Fitzmas"?

[Stevendsmith]

Do you think he's aware of the cult status he's achieved on the lefty Web?

I know he's not surfing DU and the blogs, but I wonder if he's at all aware that we're all going Fitz-crazy!

[BloodyWilliam]

It's really kind of silly of all of us.

But considering how fucked up things are, we gotta grab every sliver of hope we can.

1. "Does he Know It's Fitzmas" ??? Sounds like the setup for a song... n/m

[the_spectator]

13. cue music: For Fitzgerald's Team: Do They Know Its Fitzmas?

It's Fitzmastime
There's no need to be afraid
At Fitzmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Fitzmastime

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones
At Fitzmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world inside their office
Flourescents' artificial pall
Where the only water flowing is in the cooler down the hall
And the Fitzmas bells that ring there are their buzzing blackberries
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of me -

And there won't be joy in cubicles this Fitzmastime
The greatest gift they'll get's their puny check
(G-Men lawyers' pay's so low
Pirvate-firm guys laugh, you know)
So do they know it's Fitzmastime at all?

(Here's to you) raise a glass for Fitzgerald's Team
(Here's to them) working nights while others dream
Do they know it's Fitzmastime at all?

Spread the word, Spread the word, Spread the Word -
Let them know it's Fitzmastime again!

19. I doubt if he cares.

The guy is completely, as far as anyone knows, apolitical.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. Probably not

if he was told, it probably didn't register. He is focused on the investigation, period.

[Stevendsmith]

4. That sounds about right. (n/t)

[billybob537]

3. Franken has been

using it so He's probably heard.

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. Fitz knows everything.

[Arugula Latte]

6. He knows when you've been sleeping, he knows when you're awake

He knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!

[Catherine Vincent]

12. I'm being good!

[Stevendsmith]

8. Well, now I'm worried that I might be indicited by Fitz! (n/t)

[ArbustoBuster]

10. I didn't know you posted here, Mr. President!

[Spider Jerusalem]

7. He's Catholic; he'd probably think it sacrilege.

Or at least in poor taste. (The suffix -mas, as in Christmas, Candlemas, etc., traditionally denotes a day of Christian, and more specifically Catholic, religious obligation.)

[Leopolds Ghost]

16. In traditional Catholicism it referred to any holiday...

..usually associated with canonized saints. Now, whether or not DU has "canonized" Fitzgerald prematurely, I leave it up to you.

I will note that all kinds of wierdos have been canonized officially over the years, including (apparently) the actual St. Nicholas!

ANd they all got their own saint's days (including St. Nicholas, separate from Christmas, and associated people/canonized minor deities that never actually existed, in attempts by the early church to be "ecumenical")

So there's some precedent ;-)

[ewagner]

9. Doubt it

He's a workaholic and probably hasn't paid attention to anything but the case....he has tunnel vision in that regard and that's good.

I need to comment about the speculation that Fitz is bobbing and weaving to force Bush to make a move....I don't think so.

I think politics is the last thing on Fitzgerald's mind.

You know, even if he is a Republican, he'd make a damned fine Supreme Court Justice don't you think? Totally blind to anything but the law...I kind of like that.

[the_spectator]

15. Good points /nt

[MoonRiver]

20. He's NOT a Republican.

He once registered as an Independent, then withdrew his registration when he realized it was a political party. He's an unknown in terms of his political views. He's a law enforcer in the purest sense of the word. And yes, I think he'd make an awesome SCJ.

[Hissyspit]

11. Al Franken explained the term on CNN today, so someone Fitzgerald knows

heard it. Doesn't mean FITZ has heard it, but...

[calico1]

14. Yes, he knows.

And that's one of the reasons why he is extending the Grand Jury. Everyone who has called him that will get indicted! He knows who you are! :silly: :rofl:

[Leopolds Ghost]

17. "St. Fitz" is coming... and he's pissed -- LOL n/t

[cassiepriam]

18. Somebody has told him most likely and teasing him about it...

a friend or co-worker I would think.

[goddess40]

21. I hope he has a sense of humor

Then he can have a good laugh. If not he'll just have to learn to live with it.
