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).

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.

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.
