This cat’s got nine lives.
Feline-friendly GOP mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa — who once survived a botched alleged mob takedown — was hit by a cab Friday, breaking his left arm, but still proceeded on his way to a radio show before going for treatment at Lenox Hill Hospital, the pol and his wife said.
“As I was running here to fulfill the hour that I had purchased for this expose on Eric Adams, I was hit by the cab driver, thrust about 6 feet in the air right outside Rockefeller Center, where the Rockettes perform,” Sliwa said on WABC radio Friday afternoon during a paid spot he’d taken out on a show to go after his opponent, Democrat Eric Adams.
“I have a feeling this cab driver and others thought that I was dead,” Sliwa said about 45 minutes after the run-in.
“I flew in the air about 6 feet, scurried up and started running in order to get here in time. I just want to relieve that cab driver because I’m sure that cab driver thought that he had killed me. … I was trying to beat the light and get to the other side before the changeover,” Sliwa continued.
His wife, Nancy Sliwa, later issued a statement saying, “Curtis has been diagnosed with a fractured left arm, which requires a sling.
“In addition, he has swelling on his left knee, which will require an ace bandage wrap. There is no internal bleeding.”
The candidate quipped on Twitter after the accident, “Don’t worry, everyone. The taxi is okay.”

Sliwa is a few cards short of a full deck.
I also think he'd be great for Gotham.
I’m gonna say it: attempted assassination.
Curtis Sliwa is a Great American.
Sliwa and his wife life in a 400 sq ft apartment, with 17 stray rescue cats.
My bedroom is bigger than that and if a single cat ever got into my house, let alone my bedroom ... well...
17 cats?
What can that tiny apartment smell like?
How about cat hair?
I usually say that any pubbie would be better than the demonRAT, but this guy has been shot and beat up too much and after living with 17 cats, I'm not sure.
The alternative is a democrat.
Yeah, I know, but since I don't live in NY, I don't vote there, so my opinion is like yours, worthless.
From the number of FReepers that commented on this topic, no one cares.
You *think* you won’t vote there.
