I saw DeBlasio on the tube this AM.

I’ve never paid too attention to him before. Is he that annoying all the time? How did he get elected? Was it because he was the tallest candidate.

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

But after seeing that MJ segment, no more. His wife is also all in for Bernie.

He's the mayor of New York City, but he loves the Red Sox and eats pizza with a fork. If it weren't for Anthony Weiner exposing himself to a 15 year old, he'd be unemployed.
