    Christine Quinn is, in her own way, as big a thug as Michael Bloomberg, she's just not an oligarch to boot. But her willingness to cozy up to developers and threaten those who run ads against her (hey Chris, better check the dictionary for the definition of "democracy"!) shows that she would be just as bad as Bloomie, if not worse, because she will have to pander and whore for re-election money, whereas he never did. She would be a continuation of the disaster that has befallen NY since the Boston Carpetbagger took office, and I sincerely hope Anthony Weiner throws his - hat - into the ring and takes her on. He'd get my vote.

    Gojira -- I wish Sal Albanese could get some traction in the race, but I'd vote for Liu. Anybody but Q. I've already had too many terms of Bloomberg to sit for another three.

    What photo? Oh...cool, Igor.

    Apparently the StayPuft Marshmallow Man was seen somewhere on the Upper West at the same time this was going on.

    Gojira,

    I think Ed Koch was born in the Bronx, not Boston.

    If Weiner put something in the ring, its not apt to be his hat. This guy cannot expect to get votes with his recent "exposure"...although I agree we should hunt for someone with a more "lengthy experience" than Quinn.
