"The bloom is off!"

Here is one more post from Mark Steyn: his comments about Michael Bloomberg eighteen years ago when he was elected mayor of New York City. Bloomberg is the latest entrant into the 2020 Democrat race.

He's also overdressed. And stiff. He's hopeless at pressing the flesh with voters, and prone to say stupid things. He's short, with no lips and two left feet. He has a striking knack for attracting sexual harassment suits from female employees - three in the last five years, one of them withdrawn, another dismissed on appeal, the third settled out of court. (Bloomberg was previously married to a Yorkshire lass, with whom he has two daughters. These days, he seems to be looking for a celeb wife. As he put it to Sharon Stone, "How many heterosexual billionaires are there out there?") If you were to construct a surefire loser candidate under controlled laboratory conditions, it would probably look exactly like Mike Bloomberg, give or take a harassment suit.

...On the other hand, disgruntled members of his mostly female sales team allege that on open display in the Bloomberg offices were blow-up sex dolls and giant rubber breasts with squirting nipples. These would be more problematic innovations for City Hall, though the latter might make an attractive addition to the Statue of Liberty.
