Standing message to all Mayors of New York, both current and former.

Please don't take this personally, but we really aren't interested in you running for President.

Yes, you may have been in charge of the nation's largest city. I know you think that automatically qualifies you.

But honestly, that doesn't impress us a whole lot.

We're literally more impressed with a mayor of a smallish city in Indiana than we are with you. I'm not even joking.

Now run about, and do New York things. Which is....I don't know, talking about the Yankees and bagels and shit.

Also, to one particular former Mayor of New York: Fuck you.

And you know who you are. Enjoy prison, you asshole.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

He was the last mayor of New York who appeared to be a good person who deserved some respect.

Not to mention their poor planning.

They need to save their money and throw it behind the nominee. Period.
