They Can't Take That Away From Me

The mayor may have my vote back after all. Thanks, at least in part, to his efforts, the Plaza hotel has been "saved." I wish I could say that it was concern for the employees that prompted outrage about the shuttering of this landmark's great public rooms, but in fact it was nothing but moi-ism: they can't take that away from me!

Even though the place is supposed to stay open, I'm glad that I booked a table at the Palm Court for Kathleen's birthday on Tuesday.

He's not such a terrible guy, that Bloomberg, except for his opportunistic and Faustian deal with the Republicans.

He beats the execrable, overrated Giuliani, at any rate.

Eloise lives on...

Helping "save" The Plaza does not excuse Mr. Bloomberg for the wretched Stadium idea. There are far too many better uses for land in Manhattan than helping Woody Johnson. Kerrey for Mayor? It works for me.
