Billionaire term-limits-lover-turned-term-limits-hater-Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-Independent Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced plans to seek a third term, even though NYC law does not allow it. Gimme! More! Now!
The move represents an about-face for Mr. Bloomberg, who has repeatedly said he supports term limits and once called an effort to revise the law “disgusting.”Does this mean he's a Republican again? Lest we forget it was just four years ago that Mr. Bloomberg had this to say at the Republican National Convention in his endorsement of GEORGE W. BUSH:
I want to thank President Bush for supporting New York City...and for leading the global war on terrorism.
(APPLAUSE)
The president deserves our support.
(APPLAUSE)
We are here to support him.
(APPLAUSE)
And I am here to support him.
(APPLAUSE)
Why do you hate Gramma Bloombags so much?
I want to thank President BUSH for supporting New York City...and for leading the global war on terrorism.
(APPLAUSE)
The president deserves our support.
(APPLAUSE)
We are here to support him.
(APPLAUSE)
And I am here to support him.
(APPLAUSE)

Bloomberg's making an exchange at Crate & Barrel without a receipt, right under Marcia Kramer (WCBS) and Dave Evans (WABC) noses! Give him an inch and he'll take a mile.
