My "Lady Gaga was that you?" piece was well received and on Zennie's blog took off big time making Google News...
Yeah!!!!!!
The piece is really two stories. One about Lady Gaga's marriage to her fans as well as her meteoric succeses.
The other story is about Mike Bloomberg and Steve Rattner and what the Vanity Fair article does not tell you. You see Steve Rattner urged Mike to run for a third term. The New York Times exposed the fact a charity supporting Mike's 3rd term got millions. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/07/nyregion/07doe.html?_r=2&src=twt&twt=nytimesmetro
No surprise. John Sexton, president of NYU who gets payed close to 2 million dollars to be the head of the evil empire a community crushing real estate magnate rushed down to city hall to testify Mike must have a third term.... (By the way can Sexton even vote here in NY. I am sure he has been allotted amazing real estate deals by NYU - NYU uses prime real estate to lure talent but NYU also gives 100 percent mortgages -- so I over heard...http://suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com/2009/07/nyu-staff-bragging-nyu-is-giving-him.html)
Any way back to my point....
if Steve Rattner who pleaded the 5th Amendment so many times he well let us see
Steve Rattner + SEC, pleads 5th X 2many times = guilty
than in theory the SEC should ban him....
I have no idea if and when this will happen (if it happens this is HUGE -- things like this do not happen to guys like Rattner) but if it does Mike Bloomberg is going to have to take one giant step away from Steve Rattner and transfer his 5 billion Steve is money managing...remember the same money Steve moved out of Quadrangle in to a newly made company so Quadrangle could take the fall and not Rattner for the pension fund scandals...but oops Rattner took the fall....
I can't imagine Rattner will squirm his way out of this one although he says he is innocent and still believes his ghost written book on him being the hero savior of auto industry from his Car Czar spot at The White House will make his best friend, the owner of The New York Times best seller list.
Denial is the new crack cocaine.
Denial aside can we have a list -- a giant flow chart --of everyone that testified Mike Bloomberg must have a 3rd term and how much money, hugely plush real estate deals and back room deals were "made" for them courtesy of Mike Bloomberg and Gang, oops I meant TEAM BLOOMBERG.
Pay-offs via a charity fund exposed kicks Mike's 109 million dollars of spending to win or steal a third term up to a new record high....this exposed "gift" makes Mike's buy 112 million doesn't it and I am sure there is more....yes? But is anyone going to do the math? Really do the math....?
It is like the Manhattan DA investigating Haggerty when Mike holds the purse strings to the DA's budget and Mauren Keaney I believe is married to a man that Cy Vance owes money to for his campaign and Keaney a huge Bloomberg zealot worked with Haggerty....meaning we need this investigated and prosecuted else where.
For now Mike Bloomberg remains Teflon Mike....but for how long...especially if Rattner gets banned by the SEC and how can the SEC not ban him if he pleaded the 5th over and over.....?
Is Rattner so well connected the SEC will let him go the way Sephora was going to let Caroline Guiliani walk or will the SEC send a message the way Sephora's top management decided they must - that the rich and connected are not above the law...
Stay tuned because more of what has not been reported will slowly make it's way to the surface like rotten milk in a cup of coffee.
House of Mike Bloomberg a tumbling down....
