The Bloomberg camp is hoping some offensive remarks made by a disgruntled restaurateur about Council Speaker Christine Quinn will do some damage to city Comptroller Bill Thompson, a mayoral hopeful. Thompson—not Quinn—was present during an intimate meeting with small business owners at a Village restaurant on Wednesday morning. According to audiotape provided by the Bloomberg campaign to Politicker, Sean Kavanagh-Dowsett, the co-owner of the restaurant Tea and Sympathy, called Quinn "a whore, and you can quote me on that!" Okay! And during the ensuing laughter, Kavanagh-Dowsett added, "I'll drop my trousers, and she can kiss my ass." The tape does not record Thompson saying anything to denounce the remarks, and one witness tells the Post that "Thompson laughed with discomfort and shook his head while looking at an aide, and covered his ears for a brief moment." Kavanagh-Dowsett insists he won't apologize because he thinks Quinn, who works closely with Bloomberg, is anti-small business (and pro-prostitution?). Thompson's campaign issued a statement saying, "Bill has great respect for Speaker Quinn and believes the comments made yesterday—at a forum open to the public—were inappropriate and offensive."

damn, I arrived late. first why should Thompson intervene in a private conversion. The important question is why is Bloomberg following Thompson? Damn, Bloomberg is a dictatorship and monitoring all our private conversation. AND YES QUINN is a whore. She sold out our city and stole our money and fuck us all up well. In fact she infected this city with her whoredom.

Thompson for mayor! Screw Bloomberg
So now people are required to denounce things instantaneously or be labeled? Total bullshit.
Well of course Thompson didn't "denounce" the remarks -- who doesn't think Quinn fits that description?
This arrogant Brit who embarrassed Thompson and castigated a popularly-elected official, Quinn, had the monomaniacal nerve two years ago to want to change the name of Greenwich Avenue, where his very, very, very small business is located, to 'Little Britain Way'.
Fortunately, the community board reminded him that Greenwich Village patriots fought to throw out undue British meddling in our land, and rejected his self-serving scheme.
Apparently, his arrogance and ignorance were not affected by this rejection, and he still shows typical disrespect to our elected leaders and institutions.
If you don't like it here, bhoy-o, go back to England and see how they treat small businesses there!
I dare you to say what you said about our elected officials about your parasitic, inbred and hereditary Queen, and see what your fellow Brits will do to your sorry ass.
Thefact, nyc carriage drivers, Quinn is in their pocket and that is why they support her since she is an unethical and cheats. NO SURPRISE
I do like the BBC show, "Little Britain". But one doesn't name classic american thoroughfares after sketch comedy that includes: a gay attache to the Prime Minister, an elderly woman that pees like a racehorse during ordinary encounters with friends and neighbors, or a naked plus,plus size spa junkie whom everybody calls "Bubbles".
I believe your observations were also made at the community board, no doubt providing some mirthful moments.
Well, for a price, she bent over and lubed up for corporate fascist Mike; I guess you can technically call her a whore.
