bumbling bloomberg

okay, michael bloomberg, you're no longer a republican (not that you ever really were one to begin with). okay, great. what next? should we mark our calendars for your next ideology shift? same time, same place, 2010?

time to make up your mind, son. you've tried about as many parties in your career as i did outfits this morning. one thing the american people don't need right now is indecision, so good thing you're "not running for president," 'cause you wouldn't get my vote. i don't have time to think about you anyway 'cause the democrats' race is far more interesting.

which also begs the question: if you knew you didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning a presidential election, would you still run? granted, i'll never be in that position (thank god), but at a certain point you just have to cut your losses. it's like lovely leslie (for those of you who aren't from austin, he's this crossdressing formerly-homeless lush that runs in every austin mayoral election). there's no way he's going to win, but he runs every year. why put forth the effort? okay, i realize i just likened bloomberg to a drunk fairy (sorry, man) and that it was a pretty bad analogy. maybe leslie is more like ross perot (both are scary and like to run for office)???
