February 1, 2006 -- WASHINGTON :
"The powerful National Rifle Association killed the appointment of Mayor Bloomberg's girlfriend to a top federal post in retaliation for Hizzoner's campaign against the gun group, Senate sources said yesterday.
Diana Taylor, the state banking commissioner, had been widely seen as a shoo-in as late as last week to head the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which oversees the nation's banks."
The NRA said it wasn't them, and it DOES seem to be a bit odd. They usually like going after the jugular not the juggler (Ms Taylor is by all accounts an accomplished mime), so putting the nix on Bloomy's babe doesn't pass first blush.
Not that he DOESN'T need a wakeup call in his battle against law abiding gun owners.
