<p>Looks like we can scratch Mayor Bloomberg off the list of potential Presidential candidates:</p>
<p><a href=“HeadlineAlley ”>http://apnews.myway.com//article/20070729/D8QMC7480.html</a></p> ;
<p>
Before his election as mayor in 2001, Bloomberg was the target of a sexual harassment suit by a female executive who accused him of making repeated raunchy sexual comments while he was chief executive of his financial company, Bloomberg LP.</p>
<p>Among the allegations in the complaint:</p>
<p>_Bloomberg asked the woman who sued if she was giving her boyfriend “good” oral sex.</p>
<p>_He said “I’d like to do that” and “That’s a great piece of a–” to describe women in the office.</p>
<p>_When he found out the woman was pregnant, he told her “Kill it!” and said “Great! Number 16!” - an apparent reference to the number of women in the company who were pregnant or had maternity-related status.
</p>
<p>And:</p>
<p>
A less-restrained Bloomberg was also portrayed in a book of quips, quotes and anecdotes attributed to him and put together by employees for a birthday present in 1990. It contains such statements as: “If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale’s.”</p>
<p>Or, as he is quoted as saying about his invention, the Bloomberg computer terminal that made him rich, “It will do everything, including give you (oral sex). I guess that puts a lot of you girls out of business.”
</p>
<p>Buh, bye Bloomberg. Thanks for playing and we have some lovely parting gifts.</p>

<p>Ha. Can you say Clarence Thomas?</p>
<p>Wow. Who knew. I live right outside of NYC and I think he’s done great things – really, great things – for the City. </p>
<p>(Better than that scumbag Giuliani ever did!!)</p>

<p>Newsweek did a very interesting article on Bloomberg recently. I kind of liked the sound of him (I really know nothing about him otherwise). I don’t think he should run as an independent, which is what he appears to be lining up to do. I think he’d make a respectable Republican candidate.</p>
