To: Always Right

This is standard practice at the Inner Circle:


Mayor Michael Bloomberg took the stage to roast himself and his wealth with city reporters at the annual Inner Circle Dinner Saturday night.

The mayor danced and sang in his own rendition of Mary Poppins. The spoof lampooned some of the city’s biggest issues like Starrett City and eminent domain, the recent rat problem at a Manhattan restaurant and the city’s education system.

Bloomberg even took on the rumors about a possible White House run, insisting that he has no intentions to enter the race.

But by the end of the show, Bloomberg turned into “Mayor Poppins,” flying out for the weekend to save the rest of the country.

Since it was clear that Rudy would be in the GOP presidential primary, a certain group on FR has been posting worse things to FR ( from the time of the very first thread ), which make this AP article pale by comparison. No matter how many times it was explained, the historical facts about the INNER CIRCLE and the history of "HAIRY LEG SHOWS", in American has been posted, they continue with their slime machine tactics.

How this group was ready/prepared, from day one, here, is the question. Nobody could have had all of these pictures ready to post, without a concerted effort before hand. Obviously, there has been a movement, out there, that had been doing research long before anything had been announced.

All of the posts about how much the MSM "loves" Rudy is false.

All of the rabid FR posts against Rudy is helping the DEMS! It doesn't and won't help any of the other GOP presidential candidates. It turns people off, makes them angry, and/or makes them support Rudy.

For the edification of those who may not have seen the facts before, the INNER CIRCLE DINNER has been in existence for many decades. The show is a burlesque, in the original meaning of that word, put on to raise money for TWENTY different charities. Every single mayor of N.Y.C. has taken an active part in it, since it began.

Chicago has the same kind of annual dinner and show. So do many other cities and towns across America.

Boarding schools, public high schools, colleges, the military, churches, and private clubs have put on these shows for more than THREE centuries, in America.

For those who claim that they are offended by Rudy being in these shows, the need to stop falling for the propaganda and look at the facts.
