Bloomberg’s visit to D.C. and his fear of Schumer
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., this afternoon and, according to a report from Erin Kelly of Gannett News Service, used the occassion to joke about his much-speculated plans for higher office.
Instead of repeating his standard denial about running, he used this week’s resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to put a new twist on his punch line.
“Despite any rumors that you may have heard, I did not come to Washington to launch a stealth campaign to become the nation’s next attorney general,” Bloomberg told a crowd of about 400 people at the press club.
Bloomberg added that wouldn’t want to be grilled by Sen. Chuck Schumer, who led the fight to push Gonzales to resign.
“He’s a good senator and he really works hard for New York City,” Bloomberg said of Schumer. “But I don’t want to be the subject of his tenacious questioning.”
Bloomberg was in the nation’s capital to speak at an anti-poverty conference led by the Brookings Institution think tank.
