If Bloomberg's cutting down on Chinese food, he's mayor of the wrong town!

This time, from the New York Times, a political storm in the wok: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he was cutting back on Chinese food as part of an attempt to lose weight.

"He shouldn't have said he is stopping Chinese food," Mr. Chie of Shun Lee Palace said. "He's going to upset a lot of people in this town."

"I can assure owners of Chinese restaurants across the city that this is a mayor who has and will continue to deeply love Chinese food," Mr. Bloomberg's spokesman said.

But Mr. Pelosi, a fan of Chinese food, was not convinced, "If Bloomberg's cutting down on Chinese food, he's mayor of the wrong town. We have the best Chinese food outside of China," he said. "Then again, he's from Boston, and you can't get real Chinese food there."
