Mayor Mike's Backdoor Shenanigans

I am against term limits in any form. But twice New Yorkers have voted for them. If Bloomberg wants to run again, let the people vote to repeal term limits and run again. The way he is going about this is, for lack of a better word, bullshit.

What we're seeing is Bloomberg at his worst. This is not the reformer who isn't in any one's pockets. This is the guy who knows best for everyone. This is the guy who wants to tell us what to eat and how to live now telling us that this city can't go on without him at the helm. And he's so right he doesn't even need to bother actually trying to convince voters.

Bloomberg has done a lot right in his two terms. But there is an arrogance to him that is, in some ways, worse than his predecessor and this is the proof. Heck, Rudy only wanted a few extra months. Bloomberg wants four more years. Wonder what Ray Kelly thinks.

He'll win easily which makes his approach even more annoying. He could have done this the right way instead of the wussy way.

I'm just wondering what he'll ban in his third term. I'm guessing pizza.

Maybe Ed Koch has one more left in his stroke-ridden carcas.
