New York Mayoral Race 2005
I can't believe Burt Reynolds is playing Boss Tweed! edition
On Mayoral Issues, Weiner Has an Idea or Two (or More)
Weiner (whom a more shameless blogger might call "aptly named") does indeed have a number of interesting ideas -- like blatant pandering to Catholics and Jews at the expense of the first amendment and bedrock principles of academic freedom (respectively).
He should run a fairly interesting race once he can figure out how to violate the 4th Amendment in some way that would please Hispanics.
But honestly, can he imagine there ever being a "Mayor Weiner"?
The rest of 'em? Booooring. Here's the summary:
Freddy Ferrer accidentally proposed a tax. Also, it's still news that he refuses to apologize for personally shooting Amadou Diallo.
C. Virginia Fields has given new, more boring meaning to the word "controversy."
THE GIFF HAS A SUPPORTER
And finally, Bob Kerrey decided that the best way to truly fight for what he believes in would be to fire James Lipton. Actors Studio students stage over-dramatic protest, demand to know how many schools he "killed" today. Kerrey didn't kill the Actor's Studio, of course. He just held it down while a subordinate cut its funding. |
