NJ's AG - Prosecute the internet instead of Corruption!

The Star Ledger's Paul Mulshine piece today on NJ AG Anne Milgram:

I'm talking about state Attorney General Anne Milgram. With her latest maneuver, Milgram seems determined to become the next Eliot Spitzer.

Hold on. Don't take the kids away. We aren't going there. But the issue Mulshine refers to is Spitzer's penchant for grandstanding.

Milgram could have a wonderful career corralling corruption within six blocks of her office.

But instead of cleaning up Trenton, Milgram is going to clean up the Internet. She recently announced that her office is going after a California-based gossip website under the consumer fraud statute. That won her praise all around when newspapers reported some of the nasty gossip from the site's section concerning Princeton University, the sole New Jersey college represented.

New Jersey Attorney's General are famous for their ability to NOT prosecute anyone. Why? Most people in New Jersey do not even realize that their Attorney General is not elected. They are a political appointee. And as such, they owe their allegiance not to the people but to the political machine that was either in power or traded influence to get the slot.

Someone please tell Milgram to set her sights much closer to home. Read the entire article here.
