Dems: easily impressed by caudillos

By Michael J. Smith on Thursday September 21, 2006 12:55 PM

The much-ballyhooed Democratic mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, thinks that child-hating cop freak Mike Bloomberg, the Francisco Franco of New York City, should run for President, according to the New York Times. Bloomie is visitng LA, and
... Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, who has cited New York City’s educational reforms as a model for Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles police chief, William J. Bratton, all but encouraged Mr. Bloomberg to consider a run for the White House.
Apparently Villaraigosa admires Bloomberg's educational "reforms", and indeed, speaking as the parent of a child in the New York school system, I suppose there's something to be said for them. Since we seem to be building a society in which everybody is either a jailer or a prisoner, we might as well get the kids used to it early on.
