Blagojevich as St. Vincent de Paul

The most interesting thing I noticed in a quick skim of the story about the Obama/Blagojevich infodump is the suggestion (hearsay) that the governor hoped to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. Say again, Blagojevich as the comforter of the downtrodden? Is there really any money in that? I should have thought something like director of procurement at the Department of Defense. Or designer of a post-Cheney energy policy? Or director of Public Lands? But HHS sounds like just a lot of hard work, not something where regulator capture has a great role.
