Mayor Bloomberg: "It's good to be king"
 It's probably a coincidence that Obama and Bloomberg are among the few officials in America defending the mosque, just as they defended holding the 9/11 trial in lower Manhattan.Both see themselves as citizens of the world who ascribe ugly motives to anybody who disagrees with them. Elite of the world, unite! It's the "good to be king" syndrome and Bloomberg is no piker, as he showed in his first over-the-top mosque speech. With the Statue of Liberty helpfully framed behind him for TV cameras, he called the mosque a life-or-death test of religious freedom. It is not, but mission accomplished. Liberals loved it -- Obama's State Department posted it on a website and The New York Times swooned. New Yorkers and the rest of America, not so much. The speech turned a simmering location controversy into a holy war as the mayor tarred as bigots anybody who opposed the mosque or dared to question its $100 million financing.
