Henry....gained fame...when he issued an opinion as an Internet analyst for CIBC Oppenheimer & Co. back in 1998 to the effect that Amazon.com Inc., which was then selling for $240 per share, ought really to be going for $400 - causing the stock to leap more than $100 per share in the next few days. Adorned with his new credential as a Wall Street dowser, young Henry was quickly grabbed away from CIBC Oppenheimer by Merrill Lynch & Co. at $12 million a year to issue similarly exciting prognostications - ......But we got a better sense of the character of young Henry when a collection of private e-mails he'd been sending hither and yon within the internal world of Merrill Lynch escaped into the hands of New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. Those e-mails, fully flavored with words like "crap" and "dog" and "bad smell," gave one a sense of young Henry's private view of the sorts of investment opportunities he was pressing upon the public in return for that $12 million per year. In a mere 10 months' time, Henry's disgrace has turned to triumph, and he's back in the game as a darling of the media - living proof that in America, if you're nervy enough and cute enough, there's always a second act for a scoundrel.

Darling of the media? (Puke) The liberal media loves to play saviour, to resurrect wrongdoers, reinstate them as society's "victims," give them good jobs, and pay them handsomely. Principled, law-abiding citizens with morals can go pound salt.

This world is ruled by PR flacks. They just love to resurrect these scum. Probably because most of the people involved in PR are scum themselves. It's reassuring to our celebrity class to know that no matter how vicious and criminal they act they can always be rehabbed. OJ Simpson is the only one I can think of who hasn't been foisted back upon us.

Weisberg said he did so after talking with Blodget and concluding that that he "got kind of a bum rap" at the hands of the NASD and the SEC.

I bet Jacob wouldn't think this, if he had lost a few $100 grand on Henry's tips.

The man who offered young Henry this opportunity for resurrection is Slate's editor, Jacob Weisberg.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Weisberg said he did so after talking with Blodget and concluding that that he "got kind of a bum rap" at the hands of the NASD and the SEC.

So Slate has hired him. Any questions about his favorite political party?
