A child's scooter! LOL!!
U.S. Attorney Fitzgerald Quizzed on NPR
CHICAGO (AP) - The U.S. attorney who prosecuted former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby faced a cross-examination of his own at the taping of a radio show.
Patrick Fitzgerald received a gag prize _ a child's scooter _ during his appearance on National Public Radio's comedic game show, "Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me!"
The show was taped Thursday night at Chicago's Millennium Park.
Fitzgerald competed in a segment called "Not My Job," in which host Peter Sagal grills the guest on a topic not related to his or her line of work. Fitzgerald submitted to a quiz on scooters _ such as the Segway.
After the quiz, Sagal gave Fitzgerald a child's scooter engraved with the words: "To Patrick Fitzgerald, USA, This one will stay where you put it."
Fitzgerald led the prosecution of Libby, who was convicted of obstructing justice in a federal investigation of the leak of former CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity. President Bush commuted Libby's 2 1/2-year prison term before he served any time.
NPR spokeswoman Anna Christopher said "Wait Wait" producers had been meaning to get Fitzgerald on the show because of the notoriety he received from prosecuting Libby.
"He's also, I understand, a fan of the show," Christopher said.
Fitzgerald joined a long list of well-known guests who have been grilled on the show, including Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, newsman Ted Koppel and Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards. The show is set to air on NPR affiliates this weekend.

And I wonder if the Rugby Man will give that to Libby so that Libby can ride around to meet with his new parent, the probation officer...

Now Now it was nice Fitz could give the scooter to Mr. Kittybowtie. With the high prices of gas and bus fare Mr. Kitty will need transportation to get to work to save his penison.
Fitz does have a sence of humor and let's hope people see that in him as side from the LOOK he gives when trying the Evildoers.
To bad fix didn't get the Oprah gift of a new car I guess money is tight in Chicago.
Looking forward to hearing the show!
I think Oprah is saving up to give Obama a huge campaign donation. She's hosting the fundraising event of the century. I think it's $50K for dinner.
This is for Jackie. Fitz pictures
Thank you, Mr. Kittybowtie for the pictures of my little angel. He looked really good and happy and I am glad that he enjoyed himself. Chicago is really lucky to have him and I hope that he can help you in your legal matters with your pension.
Mr. Kitty,
I'm thinking about writing the Toddster a complaint letter to make sure that you contine to have employment and your pension in these hard times. If possible, I would like to know how you cash your check at the bank. But, don't worry, I got your back.
