#1 "He has a national profile, a record as a man who gets things done and practically unlimited campaign money. In short, New York's mayor, Michael Bloomberg, could be the perfect presidential candidate for 2008."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yeah, right. Tell ya' what, British newspaper - you don't pretend you know anything about our politics and we won't pretend we know anything about yours.

#2 I saw this headline and immediately thought about Giuliani... but they mean Bloomberg?

#3 He has done such a bang-up job on rebuilding the World Trade Center, no?

#4 Both Bloomberg and the Observer's staff live in echo chambers.

What, a short, arrogant, filthy rich prick ?

#6 They're talking about Bloomberg, not Giuliani!

Not a snowball's chance in Hades.

#7 If he runs, he would prove himself to be the self-important fool that he appears. I've got two bucks that says he'll run.

#9 ah yes. The beloved Bloomberg.

What would really make this article more humorous is the odds that the bookmakers are giving him. 1 in 100? 1 in 1000? 1 in 1,000,000?

Bloomberg will get good odds on winning the presidency as soon as money can buy happiness.

#10 "Mayor of New York" = dead end job.

Not even Rudy will change that, methinks.

#11 Bloomberg for President in '08 - only in the bizarro world the Al Gordian editors live in.

#12 Bloomberg has said, over and over, that he WILL NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!

What does a guy have to do to be heard?

But, it's al-guardian. They don't draw conclusions from facts (e.g., anything to do with the Middle East).

Plus, this is a great way for them to prove they're not anti-semitic.

What a rag.

#13 On reflection, I guess we shouldn't rag on Al-Guardian too much.

After all, they did help President Bush to win Ohio in the last election. :-D
