MAYOR CLINTON? HIL NO!

-

Hillary Clinton running for mayor of New York City makes as much sense as Rudy Giuliani believing that an unhinged ex-mayor who shilled for a dissident Iranian Marxist group (listed as a terrorist organizati­on) should be attorney general.

Isn’t it about time the Clintons stopped thinking Hillary is entitled to be crowned because, well, hell, it’s her turn? It’s nobody’s turn to be mayor any more than it was anybody’s turn to be President, despite what the Clintons think.

Truth is, Hillary’s just not one of us. Chappaqua may as well be Holland.

A fancy suburb that’s whiter than the golf balls hit by white people at the white country clubs up there just ain’t Noo Yawwk, no matter which fake accent she puts on.

Her political accents — which have ranged from Sarah Palin-goes-hunting to American scholar to born-in-the-convenienc­estore-southerner — won’t cut it here. You can’t fake New York without sounding like “The Sopranos.”

The Clintons don’t even live in the city, for God’s sake. But that’s never a problem for them. They buy where they want to rule.

But when you think about it, maybe bazilliona­ire Hillary would be the perfect mayor to represent the city, now that regular folks are priced out. That’s because of the disgusting big bucks hi-rises approved by Bloombucks when he was mayor. Only moguls — and the Clintons — can afford to stash their cash in these apartment-palaces.

Bloomberg wasn’t one of us either. And it only cost him $102 million of his own fortune ($174 per vote) to buy the election. Hey, no problem. The Clinton Foundation can afford that!
