Victor Davis Hanson wrote on The Corner last week:
With the indictment of the Democratic Governor and his purported interest in Mr. Rezko, I think Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is just about on the verge of losing his near mythic status among the Washington-New York media. He gained it when he once indicted a staff aide for the VP for supposedly not explaining adequately — or indeed doing so in illegal fashion — how he had supposedly leaked the covert status of a CIA agent, who was not covert, and if she had ever been covert, was already first exposed by someone else known at the outset to the investigation.
Yeah, right. I'm sure you've noticed the hundreds of liberal pundits and bloggers and thought-enforcement officers of the "Washington-New York media" who have attacked Fitzgerald and stood up to defend Blagojevich.
This is a really fascinating case of right-wing projection (and I've seen the sentiment expressed by other conservatives). See, if the situation were reversed, Hanson (and, I think, many on the right) would reflexively attack the prosecutor and defend the Republican governor. So naturally, they expect that liberals would do the same. It's no wonder that this man became Dick Cheney's number-one pundit.
