Bloomberg Fine With Having No Place in McCain's Cabinet

2008_07_bloomcain.jpgPresident, governor, a third term as mayor, and now add Secretary of the Treasury to the list of jobs that Mayor Bloomberg is not interested in. Amidst speculation that Bloomberg might be considered to head the nation's treasury, Bloomberg said he had no interest in the position and suggested that any recent ones from Robert Reich to current Secretary Henry Paulson would make more fitting choices. Bloomberg also responded to John McCain's comments from earlier in this week that the mayor was not a good fit for his running mate because he was "pro-gay rights." Bloomberg said, "I think that choice and gay rights are fundamental issues left to individuals. Particularly, I think if you are a conservative —you should say government should get out of the bedroom."

John McCain is a disgusting excuse for a human being.

This is exactly the kind of thing that Bloomie does that endears him with many NYers. I disagree with half the things he does, but then he breaks out the truth and you let it slide because its so rare to here truth from a politician. "Conservative" used to mean I believe in small, non-invasive government.

Ummm... Reich was secretary of labor.
