Mike Lupica: Shooting from the lip
Lupica on Doctoroff, Blooomber, the West Side Stadium, and re-zoning for rich folks:
The funniest comment of the week came from our guy Five Rings Doctoroff, who told the New York Times on Friday with a straight face that he only spends 10% of his time dealing with getting the Jets and their stadium on the West Side.
But then he goes on to point out that he does work 100 hours a week.
What a guy.
Let's face it, taking care of developer friends with sweetheart real estate deals all over town can cut into a guy's social schedule.
As the News' Juan Gonzalez keeps pointing out, it is an outrageous conflict of interest to have the city's corporation counsel Michael Cardozo - a lawyer whose old firm used to work for the Jets - anywhere near this stadium deal.
But then this is the administration of Mayor Money, isn't it?
His campaign slogan should go something like this:
I'd like to be the mayor of all New Yorkers, but I'm busy re-zoning for the richer ones.
