Basking in the spotlight today, Mayor Bloomberg said he has "no plans" to run for president, despite having hired Howard Wolfson, Hillary Clinton's former campaign media strategist. When a reporter questioned the mayor's presidential aspirations Bloomberg responded, "I can't believe you're even asking," with an oh-so innocent smile, "There's no other political reason for him, whatsoever." But AP reported that Bloomberg "appeared to enjoy the speculation," which may even be why he brought Wolfson on to begin with. As he did during the mayor's 2008 election campaign, Wolfson will dazzle and distract us, just when we were losing patience with the calorie counts and agency swaps.
