Has Mikey World Become Less Bizarro?
When Michael Bloomberg talks about his goals as mayor he usually says, "over the next six years," -- implying that his re-election in 2005 is a foregone conclusion.
But Thursday, when asked if his education reforms would outlast his mayoralty, Bloomberg conjured a somewhat darker forecast for his political future.
"My hope is that we leave my successor in six years -- or four years or two years, whenever that is -- with a start on fixing a problem that has gone on for decades," he said.
I guess it finally dawned on Mikey that his really low approval rating might just mean that he won't be re-elected. Good man, Mikey. No one ever said you were stupid. Out of touch with reality, but not stupid.
