Let the opposition research begin...

What to do when your right-wing brothers are facing imminent prosecution? Smear the prosecutor! Right wingnut publication Newsmax.com is asserting that Patrick Fitzgerald is really a partisan Democrat in Independent sheep's clothing:

Born of working class immigrant parents and raised in heavily Democratic Brooklyn, New York, Fitzgerald was educated in liberal bastions like Amherst College and Harvard University.

Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.... The column tries to make the case that a dropped wiretapping investigation by Fitzgerald of Iowa Senator Tom Harkin's campaign is somehow analogous to Plamegate. What a reach.
