Yahoo! News - Judge Not for Sale, Despite eBay Listing
NEW YORK - A Manhattan housing court judge said he was not amused by an advertisement on eBay that listed him for sale — with worldwide shipping included — posted by a disgruntled litigant.
The ad criticized Judge Jerald R. Klein for the way he dispensed justice and showed a photograph of him smiling, seated in the courtroom. It drew 6,400 and 21 bidders over four days.
"I'd like to know their rules for this," said Klein, who first learned about the posting from a reporter who called him at home.
