Blogging Bogs Down Ferrer

Fernando Ferrer's overstatement about his NYC public education (a master's at Baruch, after years of Catholic schooling) has lead to Mayor Bloomberg's campaign to issue press releases and certain tabloids, as Gawker points out, to enjoy creating insane covers and some serious questioning about blogging as candidates. It turns out that Mayor Mike doesn't write his own posts either! Shocking! Ferrer was asked about the offending post while with Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean, who said, "What is this obsession with blogs? Does anybody care about education in this city?" Then someone (NY State Senator Schneiderman, according to the Politicker) said to Dean, "You started it!" Gothamist would like Dean to tell us how Ferrer will win Murray Hill (YAY!!!) and Richmond Hill and the Rockaways and...

The Observer on how Ferrer could win the election.

Blike, please return to using your own name. I've noticed you posting under other sigs several times now, and other people have called you on it before. Don't you think hiding like this implicitly recognizes that you're aware no one takes you seriously?

Why is Ferrer running away from his Catholic school education? Ashamed of it, is he?
