Hold the presses. Bill De Blasio has announced he is leaving the Democrat presidential race.
This will be devastating to, oh, maybe 50 or 60 devotees across the country.
But it will probably qualify as blessed relief for De Blasio’s donors – the people doing business in New York City, who might have been, shall we say, “encouraged” to monetarily support his candidacy…
…because, as Mayor, De Blasio could have a material affect on approval for projects, construction permits, those sorts of things.
If this communicates to you that I considered the De Blasio candidacy a blatant shakedown to extract money from people who need the Mayor’s good graces to do business in this town, my congratulations. You are very perceptive.
In any event, after enough time has elapsed so it is likely that about as much $$$ as possible could have been accumulated, De Blasio’s candidacy is now ended.
But he doesn’t have to give back the $$$, does he?
Now they can take his picture off the milk cartons in NYC.
VERY funny, John
