Former NY state senate majority leader Joseph Bruno was indicted today on corruption charges.

A defiant Bruno, who is the sole person charged in the 8-count indictment, criticized the U.S. Attorney's office and an ''overzealous'' FBI for conducting what Bruno characterized as a ''politicized'' criminal investigation of his business dealings.

Funny how politicians view the DOJ and FBI as the greatest thing since ice cream until it's their neck on the chopping block.

I wonder what Eliot Spitzer's reaction is. Their feud, involving another version of TrooperGate, was very bitter.
