Are you ready for Fitzmas?
From Wikipedia (at least, until it gets deleted):
Fitzmas is the name given by some liberal bloggers to the atmosphere of excitement and anticipation preceding the conclusion of Patrick Fitzgerald's grand jury investigation into the Plame affair. The word is a portmanteau of Fitzgerald's name and "Christmas".
Said excitement and anticipation has caused many parodies of traditional Christmas songs to be written and posted around the liberal blogosphere. There are also several versions of "'Twas the Night Before Fitzmas" (based, of course, on the classic Christmas poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas"). The term became sufficiently widespread to draw derisive attention from a columnist for the conservative magazine National Review. [1]
First use of the term "Fitzmas" was on October 6, 2005 by SpiralHawk on the Democratic Underground website. [2] Since then Fitzmas spirit has spilled off the web and into the real world, as evidenced by this Fitzmas decoration.
