Guns don't cause crime, Mike, peoples do. Check the Bill of Rights, Mike.

[Clemenza]

The NRA went RINO hunting and bagged one. In this case, Mike Bloomberg's beard!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I'm pack'in Mike..come and get me....

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I hope we did it! Next thing is to get Bloomie moved to the the democrat party where he belongs, or, preferably, retired!

[Lurker]

" ... But the NRA wound up maneuvering behind the scenes to block her nomination at the last minute, to send a message to her billionaire boyfriend, sources told The Post."

Sorry Geoff, but it's 2006 and "sources" just don't make an assumption true anymore.

Nice try though.

[Pharmboy]

Mike's a poofter??

[Clemenza]

I don't think so, but he always came across as "swishy" to me and my ex-girlfriend, the latter of whom met him.

To those who distort our laws and aid and abet hardened criminals

Sounds like a description of Democrats...and RINOS.

its about damn time the nra found their testicles.Maybe now they will stop with all the apeasment and compromise talk but im not holding my breathe.They have been the most liberal of the pro gun groups so far this decade

[Pharmboy]

When you described his galpal as a "beard" that's what you implied. I agree he is a bit affected, but I believe he plays for our team.

[Delmarksman]

Exactly!
Wanna stop Gun Crime?
Put the criminals in Prison an keep them there.

a Senate aide said.

Can't read the full article without registration, did it have at least a rebuttal from the NRA?

Otherwise, it's pretty smarmy to use anonymous sources on such a low-level appointment, if they are to be used at all (and they shouldn't).

[LibLieSlayer]

Mayor "bloomers"... what a pantload!

This story does sound a little like a crock of crap. I wonder how the NRA is going to respond.

[eeevil conservative]

[G.Mason]

Good question. I would not register either, and cannot answer you.

It's no secret that the NRA has been "gunning" for the socialist mayor, who is a Rino of the first order. (among other things) Bloomberg has indicated he would involve himself in anti-gun legislation in other states.

He is a guy who spent over $80 million dollars of his own money to be mayor.

He's either very shrewd and going triple that by his being mayor, or he is a a self aggrandizing fool.

[G.Mason]

" ... I wonder how the NRA is going to respond."

To be continued. ;)

What's that around the girlfriend's shoulders? Where is PETA?

[dbehsman]

From the article:

The NRA insisted it was not involved in nixing Taylor's nomination.

"We didn't have anything to do with it — that's outside our purview," spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said. "Our issue is with the mayor, and not anyone else."

Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho), who sits on the NRA board, hinted that there was another reason for Taylor's doomed FDIC bid.

"I think she has more baggage than a friend who's the mayor of New York [at battle with] the NRA," he told The Post last night. "That's what I've been told."



It's starting to sound like the mayor and/or the New York Post were looking to get a cheap shot in at the NRA. If Bloomberg is this petty, I imagine that his girlfriend isn't far behind. NOW I don't want to see her get the job.

If Bloomberg wants to make life hard, I think we can oblige him easily.
