In what seems like a zillion years ago, then NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer accused then-Merrill Lynch analyst Henry Blodget of producing bogus research to curry favor with banking clients.

Blodget has become a popular online business commentator and Spitzer is beginning to do some interviews. Anyway, the two discuss a bunch of things on Yahoo's Tech Ticker
