It’s much cheaper to get in there and run it for yourself directly.”

Pete,
So cynical, but unfortunately so damn true.

George Carlin would have a field day with this stuff, but I expect he was exasperated with Purchased Politics already.

However, unless W he has been successful in business.

Rudy was probably the most racist and corrupt NYC Mayor in the last 100 years. Mike B is unfortunately a Mayor who puts the interests of NYC’s elite financial leaders above those of the people. He has also worked hard to continue the program of homogenizing and Disneying the City and maintaining its’ Manhattan Centric predilections. That a billionaire would spend so much to remain in what is essentially a “dead end” job, speaks to the massive ego driving him. Unfortunately, in NYC, when the establishment likes you the media covers up for your multitude of sins.
