This is a sexual harassment suit.

Everyone's favorite pro se plaintiff, Jonathan Lee Riches, whose complaints have previously graced Metafilter's front page, has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit [pdf] against Eliot Spitzer.

For those who have trouble making out Riches's one-page handwritten complaint, it reads:

"This is a sexual harassment suit. Gov. Spitzer is try [sic] to sell me for prison prostitution labor to Albany legislators. Spitzer threatend [sic] to take my money like he did with Grasso. all [sic] corporate convictions Spitzer used the fines to pay for prostitutes for himself and implants for Silda. I'm personally offened [sic], I seek a restraining order Against [sic] him."

Baseball fans may want to check out his lawsuit against Atlanta Braves pitcher Tom Glavine, who apparently can throw a mean pitcher of lemonade.

Sounds like someone needs to figure out the powdered glass trick.

Sounds like the very model of a real vexatious litigant, of suits unmeritorious and ultimately indigent.

Still, I suppose as hobbies in prison go, it's better than shivving people.

And he's letting the Magna Carta off the hook this time?

Some more good Riches links in this thread.

Weird, I just read a Riches suit at work yesterday. If I recall correctly, he accused Michael Mukasey of setting the 2007 California wildfires in order to make it easier to spot illegal immigrants.

I like the way he left his phone number, in case the judge wants to rap or hang out or somethin'.
