Miracles never cease. Bob Herbert has just said something not only mildly amusing, but something I agree with in his latest column (registration required). I actually only agree with a part of what he said, but given my storied past involving acid reflux and Herbert’s columns, this is a baby step in the right direction. The quote in question:
“Welcome to New York. If he’s tough and sane, Mike Bloomberg might manage to succeed. But it’s absolutely fair to wonder about the sanity of a man with $4 billion who voluntarily subjects himself to the routine torments inflicted on the mayor of New York.”
I agree. I have often thought that desire to assume any high level political office should be an automatice disqualification fopr the position. The rest of the column is, well, Herbertian.
