Mort Zuckerman vs the Independence Party
I wonder "WHY NOW" he is having his Editorial Board give them the once over ?
This has been going on for a very long time, So Mort whats the story ?
Now lets turn our attention to The 21st Century "NERO" aka "The Prisoner of City Hall aka Nanny Pac Man
He named his NANNY PAC ( INDEPENDENCE USA PAC) now talk about confusion.
He funds it and directs how the money is spent, and his hand picked Deputy Mayor Wolfson takes leaves of absent to run it.
Once they CARRY him out of CIty Hall be plans to use it as his "WEAPON" against all those he dislikes and convert the USA to "A NANNY USA"
So Mort how about The "INDEPENDENCE USA PAC " they should be NEXT
