Bloomberg Lands a Scoop

Mayor Bloomberg delivered his first big scoop of the election emerging as the first and only Democratic candidate to go personally before the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. He delivered a speech brimming with standard pro-Israel promises. In the context of his party's primary, though, it was a blunt riposte to, in Senator Sanders, a front-runner who is hostile to the Jewish state. We don't mind saying that it was a terrific thing for Hizzoner to do.
