Bloomberg: "Color Me a Media Whore"

Lauer says he does appreciate all the media attention the mayor's tirade has brought him. His Dura Coat sales doubled for two days after the media reports.

As for his New York business, Lauer says he has records of only one sale to someone who uses it to protect bicycles. There are two other orders which Lauer presumes are from the aide who purchased the product for the mayor's news conference.

The mayor got face time and Lauer sold a few more cans of paint. Sounds like a win-win.

In a related matter, SAF has it right about Bloomberg's attack on two New York gun dealers. The fact that their inventories have been returned demonstrates he is abusing the power of his office. He's causing real economic harm to legitimate businesses in his insane and illegal quest to punish those he hates. I hope those store owners sue him personally.
