POLITENESS POLICE COULD POUNCE ON POLS' EVERY PEEVE
MUCH LONELIER NIGHTS WITHOUT THE SMOKE
BURNING ISSUES STEAM THE APPLE
Even non smokers are starting to see what this is all about, and asking "Did Bloomberg run on this platform??!!!"
Bloomberg didn't have a platform other than "I will bring my talents as a businessman to the Mayor's office." He was actually behind in polls featuring a runoff between him and Freddy Ferrer OR Mark Green. Then, September 11 happened, Rudy endorsed Bloomberg and he prevailed by a few thousand votes over the weak Mark Green.
Clemenza predicts: Dems run Freddy Ferrer (cause its "his turn") or Nydia Velasquez (if she wants to leave congress) in 2005 and Bloomberg is stomped like a narc at a biker rally.
Note it allows for anonymity, but makes you choose a subject-- so they can route it away from His Majesty and to some remote department or the circular file, no doubt. Let's see..."Travel & Tourism" might be an interesting subject line for out of towners (anonymous in-towners?) to play with-- or "Other" might be good, too. I hate to think he might one day--and we know he will--tell the gullible media that everyone's on his side in this smoker-bashing because he didn't "hear" from any of us.
