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.

The Post has been screeching more than usual about the eeeeeeeevils of g-g-g-guns for months lately. It stands to reason that they'd use any ploy necessary to smear the NRA.

Mayor Blooming-idiot is petty and that's an understatement.
