Check out these quotes from Fitzgerald:

[Catherine Vincent]

Today at the Chicago Athletic Association building, during our Federal Criminal Practice forum featuring special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, rainwater started dripping into the room through a crack in the ceiling. When one of the other panelists pointed it out, Fitzgerald quipped, "I'm in charge of leaks." Heh.

Later, in response to a question from fellow 2L****** regarding how he handles being potentially criticized by both sides regarding his investigation -- caught between a political rock and a hard place, as it were -- Fitzgerald said that at the very beginning of the investigation, he told his staff (close paraphrase): "We're going to be damned if we do anything, damned if we don't do anything, and probably damned by both sides if we do some combination of the two. We're screwed." :)

I heard People magazine named Fitzgerald as one of their sexiest men. I was a little surprised by that......but I think it's a great idea! Intelligence is sexy.........

Sexiest list as well. What a complete package!:loveya:

6. Okay. We need to start a thread on finding Fitz a girlfriend

after his role in all of this is over, of course.

[Catherine Vincent]

Probably doesn't have time for her. Poor thing.

[Catherine Vincent]

Good morning ladies! :)

[annabanana]

14. I LOVE that he's driving everyone nutz!

And I'm not just talking about our own estrogen brigade here.. He's giving the crooks and pundits the shivering jimmy fits by just plain NOT TALKING.

(The strong, silent type is not a myth or an anachronism, apparently.)

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Did you see on CNN this morning where they were talking about him?

It was Miles O'Brien, Soledad O"Brien and some other lady that supposedly knows the Fitz. She said when he found out about People choosing him as one of the most sexy (smart) men, he didn't believe it because he thought his friends were pranking him being that he is always pulling pranks on them. They discussed him for quite a few minutes, they showed his pic next to Matthew McConahey (sp?) and said how his workaholic status have all the women in a tizzy. They also mentioned Anderson Cooper making the list.

16. That second quote is a keeper.

:rofl:

Is Fitz a native midwesterner, by any chance?

[Catherine Vincent]

18. He's a native New Yorker.

I can hear him saying "we're screwed".

[SharonRB]

17. He's even got a sense of humor to go along with the brains and class
