    The NY Slimes is reporting that he took “over $100,000” in bribes and that seems SO incredibly cheap. You’re the mayor of New York City and all you can manage is some free flights and hotels in Turkey? Come on, shake down some Wall Street perverts for seven figures at least

      Yeah NYC is equivalent to a top ten country economically and militarily, I would saber rattle at New Jersey and get a nuclear deal of some kind.

      “he accepted over $200,000 in bribes when the local college gave him an honorary degree in law”

      “he proceeded to accept another 6 figure bribe after a bout of food poisoning brought him to a hospital where he stayed overnight free of charge”

      I don’t know my point but I’m smiling at the idea that the mayor is a cheap date.
