I’d Rather Be A Lamppost In New York Than A High-Level Official In What Could Be One Of The Most Transformative Presidencies In The History Of The Country

As Joe Biden might say, “That’s not change — that’s more of the same!”:

There’s at least one famous New Yorker who is less likely to get a call from the Obama administration than was once supposed.

Despite the advice he has offered to the next president in Newsweek columns, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is no longer in consideration as a candidate for a top job. To the degree that he was discussed at all, Mr. Bloomberg’s name all but vanished from serious conversation when he pushed a bill to overturn a two-term limit on city elected officials through the New York City Council, according to a number of insiders interviewed for this article.

(An anecdote that makes this horrible episode just a tiny bit better.)
