Bloomberg, Holding Nose, Opened Wallet
Here, I suppose Mr. Bloomberg talks from empirical observation in his 12
years in office. In that time, few have done more to feed slop to the
worst actors in this system than our mogul mayor. In 2009, when he
decided that his professed love of term limits was silliness and that he
would like the Republican Party nomination, he spread cash the way a
farmer spreads manure in spring.
In all, he and his operatives handed out more than $800,000 to various
Republican organizations. Afterward, the mayor toured the city’s various
Republican committees, like a don making postprandial rounds. As The
New York Observer described one such visit, he took a kiss on both
cheeks, offered a smile here or there, listened to a few money-besotted
giggles, and then slipped back into his black S.U.V.
