From the Washington Post’s profile of Bloomberg:
NEW YORK — Michael Bloomberg, America’s most prominent and deep-pocketed advocate for gun control, would rather rehabilitate Republicans than oust them.
“Somebody got them the way they are now,” the mayor of New York said in a recent interview as he sat in the bullpen offices of City Hall, surrounded by a buzzing staff, blinking Bloomberg terminals and clocks telling the same time in each of the five boroughs. “Why can’t you change them?”
Who knew that the worst part of crossing the Brooklyn Bridge is the jet lag.
I wonder if the mayor has ever said something like, “I’ve got to call the Queens Borough president. What time is it over there?”
