Bloomberg was not a great mayor. He was lucky because he ran against Mark Green and was able to get Giuliani’s endorsement. And his term limits scam was a crime. He is an arrogant, nanny-state scold and his gay lisp make him even more laughable.
I was disgusted when NYers didn’t respond to his lifting of term limits by simply voting him out; that was a disgrace (and frankly, very disturbing). Here in NJ we dealt with similar lawlessness when one of our senators (Torricelli) had to drop out of a race; despite the fact that it was too late for new entrants to the race, he was replaced by another Dem (Lautenberg) who went on to win.
