Bloomberg's late, unlamented opponent, Mark Green, was even more insufferable. Think of Ralph Nader getting elected mayor and you won't be far off.

But Bloomberg is only a little better than Green. He makes Ed Koch look like a conservative.

This one passed under my radar - did anyone else catch it???
