A rare thing indeed. I trust him also and I hope he scares the shit out of the board members so others will take note. Spitzer has been a pit bull on behalf of consumers. A rare thing indeed.

I mean, how are we "fighting for changes to the laws that make this crap legal in the first place?" Any ideas? So where are we on that?

If that's the case, Spitzer should be punishing him. If that's not the case, maybe they're simply prosecuting Grasso to make him 'flip' on the other board members. I trust Spitzer in this case, and will continue to trust him until he gives me a reason to not. It is quite possible that the board was decieved and Grasso was doing this in an underhanded fashion.

I don't quite see what Grasso is being sued for unless there was some fraudulent activity. The analogy between the the board and Bush is interesting. They both use the excuse that no one told them enough stuff. They are obligated to be well informed by as many sources as necessary in order to balance pros and cons before making decisions, not just listen to people who tell them what they want to hear. Just as the NYSE board is responsible for the Grasso problem, Bush is responsible for all things that flow from the Iraq war.

Spitzer usually sues people/institutions to make a point and to change the way things are done. Well I wish something would be some to weaken corporate corruption. It's ruining our country more every day and by the time people wake up from their koolaid comas and take notice, it might be too late. I think Andrew makes a good point.

If I as a private citizen sued Grasso, then it would be a matter of why is this legal. But this isn't a civil suit. This is the government suing him. If they win, then this kind of activity becomes illegal because legal presedence is set. Spitzer is one of the people in politics I admire most right now. He's gone after evil stock analysts, the record companies, and now Grasso. He really is acting as the people's lawyer, just as he should. I hope he follows a Teddy Roosevelt path and goes on from the NY attorney general to bigger and better things. I'd like to think he'd be Kerry's #1 choice for AG. You’re missing the point.
