Former GOP Senator Judd Gregg joins Goldman Sachs

[Bluebear]

The revolving door lives another day. It does make one wonder about Gregg's defense of Wall Street in the past, though he's certainly not alone there. How is it possible to not see this as corruption?

It came out Friday when most people were thinking more about the long holiday weekend ahead than the latest effort by the investment bank to add to its stable of worthies an influential former Capitol Hill lawmaker.

Anyway, the former senator from New Hampshire who, as you'll recall, turned down President Obama's offer of the Commerce Secretary's job, will join Goldman's board of international advisors, nearly 20 former corporate chief executives and government officials.

They should be at this very moment doing a long stretch together at Leavenworth.

But, because they make the laws, they remain free.

And We the People are free to pick up their tab.
