Dis-Graceful
Which is more “disgraceful” — a mayor that suspends term limits, spends $18 million before Memorial Day* and thus knocks out a major contender or a reporter who is doing his job by asking a simple question about what the mayor’s rationale for running again is given that the economy has apparently “turned a corner”?
*Point of comparison: By October 1997, Mayor Giuliani had only spent $9 million, way back in the days when billionaires didn’t spend their way into office**.
**And what has this rugged independence gotten us? A whole lot of lawn chairs. Keep tweaking him, Azi.
