Fernando Ferrer is such a putz that he may just make me vote for Bloomberg. Today, in a misguided effort to shake his earlier gaffe defending the Diallo shooters, he chose to show his support of the Diallo family by claiming Bloomberg made no statement of protest after the Diallo incident. Never mind that this was two years before Bloomberg entered politics and he was still a private citizen running a chain of radio and wire outlets. Even Ed Koch, who is probably to the right of Bloomberg by now, engaged in civil disobedience then. Would Bloomberg have? Who knows? But why bring this up? Doesn’t the city have something else to worry about other than Amadou Diallo’s corpse? Fernando Ferrer is 100% the putz. I’d like to vote for a Democrat later this year, but I won’t be voting for him. If Ferrer wins the primary, I’m sticking with Bloomy. Maybe I should learn more about Gifford Miller or Anthony Weiner. I’d like to learn more about C. Virginia Fields — but I am amazed to learn that right now, only six months before the election, her campaign does not have a website. Pretty hard to take her seriously.

C Virginia Fields’ web site is at http://www.newyorkers4fields.com/main.cfm, but isn’t it time you stopped endorsing the corrupt two-party system? Don’t be a tool! And Bloomberg? Please say you’re joking about voting for that fool.
