Who is the more professional prosecutor? Ken Starr or Patrick Fitzgerald?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Make a choice, then tell us why you didn't vote for the other guy.

[tompayne1]

1. Ken Star is a Dickwad.

[bemildred]

15. And a shameless political hack. No comparison at all. nt

[Birthmark]

2. Well, let's see...

Leaks from Starr's witch hunt: 2.4 bajillion

Leaks from Fitzgerald's investigation: 0

A bajillion is a LOT!

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. Are there any penalties against a prosecutor who

leaked as much information as Ken Starr did? I understand that incarceration is an acceptable inducer which both prosecutors used, but why didn't Susan McDougal have recourse against Starr for attempting to get her to present false testimony?

3. As far as Billing and getting away with it, or getting to the Truth?

[The Backlash Cometh]

7. Let's give points for following process without yourself resorting

to criminal activity.

[bahrbearian]

13. I'm Talking about a repug agenda of " billing for service's not -

rendered" in that Ken Starr.

[mattclearing]

4. Now who's the freeptard that voted Ken Starr??? n/t

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. I'd like to hear his reason for his choice, freeptard or not.

You see, I have a theory that the right doesn't have the attention span to follow process. They're only interested in the results.

[jim3775]

17. Now someone else voted for Starr

:wtf:

[jobycom]

6. You need a category for "Let's wait and see how Plamegate turns out."

He may sell us up the river yet.

[The Backlash Cometh]

9. Done.

[Walt Starr]

12. If Fitzgerald doesn't indict it's because there is not enough evidence

Fitzgerald is the consumate professional. If he has a case, he will indict. If he has no case, he will not indict.

In this case, I guarantee you, there will be indictments. No journalist would have been threatened with jail time otherwise.

[jobycom]

18. You're probably right

I just got my hopes up so often with Reagan and Bush I, and now with W, that I refuse to trust anyone until I hear the click of the cuffs around Bush's wrists. But that's my cynicism, not a reflection on Fitzgerald.

I'm still pissed Reagan died a free man, rather than in prison for treason.

[The Backlash Cometh]

19. Well, to take a page from the right-wing prayer book...

Reagan didn't die a free man. He was given the worst punishment a human being will ever face.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. You need to ask? Why are you asking? What don't you understand?

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. What I learned from the Republican party:

Accentuate the positive.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. I understand the aphorism. I don't get how your poll does it, if at all.

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. I guess you have to know what Ken Starr did wrong, to appreciate

what Patrick Fitzgerald is doing right. The difference is proof enough that there was a right-wing conspiracy against Clinton in the 90s, and Ken Starr contributed to it. Starr even said that the position of special prosecutor could easily be abused to attack someone in a partisan manner and recommended that it never be resurrected. He should know, because he did it.

Anyway, the poll results are like throwing a glass of scotch on the rocks in their faces. (bad scotch, of course.)

[Mutley]

20. This is a no-brainer.
