NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Fernando Ferrer has clearly decided go down in flames. Or flamers. His newest ad features an animated Mayor Bloomberg riding a horse in the lap of George Bush.Then, in the words of the New York Post,

Ah, yes, the money shot. Bloomberg's campaign alleges that the "commercial clearly shows the mayor performing a sex act on Bush.

New York City Error Alert Update

Mayoral candidate Fernando Ferrer was on the scene the instant the first Bahrainian comp lit major at Columbia had his Jansport manhandled.

Mr. Ferrer said he thought the city should take "every threat seriously." But his campaign was trying to capitalize on suspicions voiced by some New Yorkers that the mayor's announcement of a plot to bomb city subways last week was politically timed to interrupt a run of bad publicity over his decision to skip a debate at the Apollo Theater in Harlem.

A white mayor of a megalopolis exacerbating race relations and the clash of civilizations in one fell swoop. And they say the world has changed. --MICHAEL WEISS
