Henry Blodget And Eliot Spitzer: BF4E!!<3

Eliot Spitzer is back in the game with an article appearing on Slate.com this week with his take on why we need to stop using bailouts to rebuild big financial institutions.

An interesting read no doubt, especially since the guy just appears to have crawled out from under his rock of solitude. What's even stranger is that he's now 'technically' working with his old pal Henry Blodget, the Internet stock analyst who was banished from the securities industry by none other than Mr. Spitzer himself.

Classic quote from when they met in person for the first time a while back:

BlodgetME (napkin roll in hand, flustered to suddenly find myself in the presence of my Destroyer): Hi, Eliot, Henry Blodget, good to meet you. You made my life a bit rough there for a while!

ELIOT: (3,000-watt smile): That's my job!

Personally, I'm a fan of Blodget (you may have noticed by the sheer volume of links to his site, Clusterstock, that I use), but are any of you guys out there a fan of Blodget or Spitzer in their new writing lives or will they always be 'guilty' in your eyes?
