Someone called Randi a few minutes ago and mentioned Fitzmas

[SharonRB]

And she had no clue what it was. I'm really surprised she's never heard of it. Stephie is all over it and I think I heard Franken mention it today.

1. Who originated the "Fitzmas" phrase anyway? n/t

[Coexist]

7. I believe it was SpiralHawk (sp?) here on DU

[marylanddem]

10. Thanks! n/t

[napi21]

2. In all fairness, have you heard it anywere but DU?

I've tried to send email to most of my Dem friends about it, but I haven't heard it anywhere but here.

[SharonRB]

4. I guess I just figured Randi would know about things that go

on here at times -- and this is one of the things I assumed she would have heard about. I know Stephie lurks, guess I was mistaken that Randi probably did, too.

6. Franken was using it. n/t

8. Wikipedia, if that counts ...

14. It was mentioned on AAR very early this morning.

It's all over Kos. It's everywhere! :hi: I think even Limbaugh himself mentions it now. :rofl:

[doni_georgia]

22. Yes - have seen it elsewhere on the web N/T

[CottonBear]

3. That call fell flat. Randi is totally behind the curve on Fitzmas.

Oh well, she can't be up to date on every topic. :(

[SharonRB]

5. Very true

It doesn't make me like her any less. We need to educate her, though. I think if she saw the songs she'd have a good time with them.

11. I heard it first on Majority Report, I think it was Kos

but that doesn't mean it didn't come from here first.

I think the Majority Report had it on air first... Sam is always ahead of the curve and is always in touch with bloggers which keep him in the loop.

here's a car with "Merru Fitzmas" the rear window.

12. I heard it on Stephanie Miller, then on Erin Hart (local Seattle)

who was talking to the lady from BartCop about it - and then on Thom Hartmann today. Someone just mentioned it on Ed Schultz.

Erin Hart sang some of the Fitzmas Carols on Saturday.

Were the phrase and song originated here? Stephanie Miller credited DU with the songs.

15. there are 103000 entries on google

i think it`s pretty much all over the lefty sites. remember it takes the regular media about a week to catch up to what the left publishes

[janx]

24. That is so funny!

:rofl: I just looked, and you're right!

16. A caller on the Ed Schultz show used "Fitzmas"---

Ed cracked up, but he hadn't heard it before either.

26. Oh my goodness!!

From the Wikipedia site.

"Delete. At most, it is worthy of a mention in the Plame Affair one of the lamest scandals in political history. Capitalistroadster 00:07, 24 October 2005 (UTC)"

Lamest scandals????? OMG, how can people be so stupid???

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Merry Fitzmas!!!!

[DearAbby]

21. Ahhh the photo-shop of this photo is so priceless

Good job...even down to the reflection of Fitz with hat, details details...you guys are great!

[Catherine Vincent]

23. It is isn't it? But I don't know who created it though.

And I know Fitzgerald wouldn't like his pic entered all over on the internets. Lord knows we don't want to upset him.

25. Sam Seder was singing..

"It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas" at the beginning of his show last week.

[parasim]

27. It is kind of silly isn't it?

I tend to agree with a poster over at DailyKos on this issue.

His two main points:

1) Whatever the charges or eventual results of this turn out to be, it's not a happy day in our country if people at the highest level of government are committing crimes. We shouldn't celebrate it.

2) If we, as Democrats/liberals treat this with festival gusto, we make the whole process look like a partisan gotcha instead of a criminal investigation. So far, Fitzgerald has been apparently professional, detail-oriented, and very terse with the press. Completely unlike, say, Ken Starr and his clown show. I like it that way.
