Rich Bastard Pissing Match (Cont'd)

Part I

Mayor Airs Stadium Salvo, and Cablevision Fires Back (NY Times)

In his weekly radio address, [Mayor Mike] Bloomberg underscored the significance of the stadium to the city's effort to attract to the 2012 Summer Olympics, and he accused Cablevision of trying to "destroy our Olympic dreams by blocking a key element of our bid."

What Olympic dreams?

The fight has grown increasingly personal. One of the newest anti-stadium ads aims to make the mayor look foolish, using reverse images of him squaring off against each other, as a referee's whistle blows and an announcer cries, "It's Bloomberg versus Bloomberg!"

Um, haven't we seen that before on Comedy Central?

Silly rich bastards.
