Mike Bloomberg Foot in Mouth For Crook Steve Rattner Party on!

From Fortune; Dan Primack Term Sheet: "0A bunch of you have already emailed this morning, asking if I've read Andrew Ross Sorkin's piece on the PR rehabilitation of Steve Rattner (find link in Pre-Marketing). The answer is yes, but I haven't quite worked out my thoughts on it. Gut take, however, continues to be how remarkable it is that a sitting mayor was willing to so casually overlook charges brought against a local businessman by both the SEC and the state attorney general, only because that local businessman was his pal.

Here is Mike Bloomberg's quote from the story: “Steve is a good friend. You stick by your friends. And I don’t worry about what people say... I never heard anyone say they wouldn’t invite Steven Rattner to a party because of what was happening.”

From Suzannah - Steve Rattner helped push thru illegal third term and raided
NY pensions and pleaded the 5th 64 times.


Exposing this to nyc school kids and how Steve paid to play, paid to not go to jail and mike keeps in flu$h -- explain that.
