My one fear is that this would put him in position to get revenge AND revenge is not a good thing to be present in any legal setting. JUSTICE is what we’re after.

OTOH, if Franken finds anything rotten in Minnesota he oughta make a very big stink about it. The same goes for Begich (Dem opposing Ted Stevens) in Alaska. We need desperately to eradicate all this election fraud.

Seriously. The SEC under Bush has been purposely disfunctional, and as AG of NY Spitzer did what the SEC wouldn’t do. This would be so delicious – he’d get his old job back only with Federal authority, and he’d be in charge of regulating the bastards who took him down.

Please, please, if any of you ‘Bamaheads are reading this,

SPITZER FOR SEC CHAIR
