Cue Beyoncé.

Because Mayor Michael Bloomberg believes that only he can guide the city through a period of economic crisis, and because two-thirds of the New York City Council would be out of a job otherwise, the Council has overturned the term limits law that was previously approved twice by the New York City voters.

Take the poll!

This is bullshit.

Questions:

If Bloomberg is the only viable political candidate in the City of New York who has the skills and knowledge to get us through tough economic times, might he have at least attempted to explain what this special knowledge entails?

Instead of changing the law to suit his own personal desires, couldn't he simply have shared his super-duper economic survival secrets with the next mayor, whoever he or she happened to be?

Do the sniveling self-serving sycophants of the City Council who voted for this measure (no conflict of interest there, right?) have any sense of shame whatsoever?

Okay, I can do this...*deep breath*...eh-hem!...A-A-Anth-Anthony Weiner for Mayor!

Why is Michael Bloomberg the ONLY person in the world who can successfully guide New York City through the economic crisis?

He can rebuild our economy just like he rebuilt Ground Zero! Oh wait...

As his support of George W. Bush in 2004 demonstrated, he knows better than anyone what is best for New York City.

Little man has got something to prove!

Things are going to get so bad, NYC needs a mayor with the guts to suspend habeas corpus (see: 2004 Republican National Convention).

Have you seen the balance of his checking account?!

As Bloomberg's mother told him repeatedly, he's the smartest and most handsome boy in the world.

He's not.
