The Torch Re-Ignites

The execrable Bob Torricelli apparently doesn't read his Fitzgerald, because he's back for a second act. A man with the dubious dual distinction of being sleazy by the standards of both politics and New Jersey, the Torch has been appointed special master of an environmental cleanup site by one of his old cronies (to the tune of $500k per annum) and is now selling himself as a dealmaker and power broker. I know Torch isn't he first pol to be bought… but it doesn't even rule you out of the game a scant couple of years after getting publicly caught at it? In the words of one of Torch's kindred spirits… beam me up!
