Free Beer, Rafting, Darts And Spelunking...
Crikey! Don't try this at home."Fitzgerald Deserves Top U.S. Law Post"
July 20 (Bloomberg) -- Patrick Fitzgerald won the convictions of four Osama bin Laden associates in May 2001. In March, he got Shooter's "Scooter" Libby. Last week, he nailed Conrad Black.
Fitzgerald, 46, isn't saying what may be next in his career. Friends and colleagues say he probably will remain a prosecutor rather than join a law firm. One colleague says Fitzgerald's destiny may include the top law-enforcement job in the country: U.S. attorney general.
"I think he would make a spectacular attorney general," said former Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Comey - "He certainly is one of the very best federal prosecutors in America."
Fitzgerald once competed fiercely in rugby and darts, said Comey, who got to know him as a law student when they shared a summer house in Spring Lake, New Jersey. "He drank a lot of beer without paying for it," Comey said with a laugh.
Fitzgerald now enjoys traveling, exploring caves in New Zealand, going white-water rafting, and visiting relatives in Ireland, Comey said. <more>

Youth of America, words from the wise - never mix darts and rafting or pints in a cave with a six foot ceiling, but most importantly -- just say "no, thank you" to graft and resist the powerful urge to pop your collar!

An admitted spelunkerer! What's next, thespianism?
So, what else can you do? hehe
The DOJ could use an honest smart lawyer like Fitz but not with the curent Administration. I really don't want him to except the Attorney General's job. I thought about it and he would have to have to in a way change his life. He'd have to be in direct contatt with Policital people. Now the Deputy Attorney General seems to suit him better. He can do what he does best and stay in the world he loves. Some people look to the title, photo ops, parties and being where the important people are. My Little Angel is the man who gets things done without all of that. I just hope he remembers to take my picture with him so he can put it on his office desk.
Jackie, I concur!!
