Fitzgerald's Front Burner

John Kass on the return of Patrick Fitzgerald to Chicago. Tribune, RCP:

Meanwhile, there are those eight words by Fitzgerald:

"We're all going back to our day jobs."

It warmed me. But some others in Illinois must have felt like they were crossing the River Styx, if the Styx was full of ice and they crossed it without waders, leaving sensitive areas (perhaps their egos) subject to much freezing and shriveling.

Before he was burdened with the distractions of the Libby case, Fitzgerald was the U.S. attorney in Chicago.

Kass runs through the litany of cases moving from the back burner to the front burner. A special sort of hell awaits. We wait in hope.
