Purely coincidental.

"As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States."

Jane at firedoglake notes some curious goings-on.

The nomination of Viveca Novak's husband to the FEC is nothing if not a giant "fuck you" to Fitz, and if it happened in say the Gotti organization it would definitely raise the eyebrows of a prosecutor. It's also a big "who's your daddy" moment for Viveca Novak, as she is probably out of a job and now the key defense witness for a man who is now going to be her husband's boss. Those who want to argue they nominated him purely on his merits with no notion of any larger implication? Please. This is Karl Rove we're talking about here.

"For us to live any other way was nuts. To us, those goody-good people who worked shitty jobs for bum paychecks, who took the subway to work every day and worried about their bills, were dead. They were suckers. They had no balls. If we wanted something, we just took it. If anyone complained twice, they got hit so bad they never complained again. It was routine. You didn't even think about it."
-- Henry Hill, Goodfellas

Anyway, here's wishing everyone a Joyous Fitz-ukah-wanzaa Season! Won't you sing with me?

"See indictments, yes indictments,
and they'll be handed down soon.
In the air there's a feeling of Fitzmas...

Rule of Law, Rule of Law!
It's Fitzmas Time in the city...!"
