Quinn attacked for extending term limits

From the Daily News:

The Brooklyn crowd erupted in boos Wednesday night when frontrunner Quinn fielded a question about having helped pave the way for Mayor Bloomberg to seek and win another four years in office.

Quinn spoke calmly over the jeers: “I believed it was the right decision… I respect that many folks disagree with that.”

Democrats often use the term-limits controversy to bash Quinn as uncomfortably close to Bloomberg. It's a perception some observers say has encouraged Quinn to demonstrate her independence before the primary without alienating Hizzoner or his fans in November.

When asked Wednesday, she refused to pledge not to overturn a voter referendum if elected mayor.

The speaker's primary foes -- former Councilman Sal Albanese, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, Comptroller John Liu and ex-Comptroller Bill Thompson -- all said they would not scuttle a referendum.


And the mayor thinks Christine is just peachy.

Quinn, a shrill dyke, owned by the real estate industry.

Stock up on rectal balms, 'cause we're gonna get screwed again, for 4 more years.

@Anonymous 2: The term "dyke" was utterly uncalled for. Christine Quinn has proven herself to be a completely malodorous politician without needing to resort to hateful language.

Hey, they call themselves dykes and fags. But you never hear Chinese people refer to themselves as chinks, do you? Has a lot to do with pride vs. self-loathing.

Who called her "football face"? Man, that's funny.

And yet, people will run out in droves to vote for her.

By any other name, a dyke is still a dyke!
