Mayor Bloomberg's girlfriend Diana Taylor says no need for police escort

[RamboLiberal]

Unlike her predecessor as mayoral girlfriend, Mike Bloomberg's gal pal, investment banker Diana Taylor, has never had a separate police protection detail.

Taylor, 52, takes the bus every day to her midtown office and rides the subway to business appointments. In the six years Taylor and Bloomberg have lived together, she said she has never had reason to want or need personal NYPD security.

"I don't have security in Bogota or Nairobi or Moscow when I travel there on business, why would I need security in the safest city in the world?" Taylor told the Daily News yesterday.

-----

"The only time I have security is when I am with the mayor at an event," Taylor said. "If I leave and go somewhere, like the ladies' room or to make a call, no one comes with me. I just tell them where I'm going so I won't be left behind," she laughed.

1. Wow, she is quite pretty. Reminds me of Diane Keaton or Annette Bening.

Also makes Judi Nathan look like the trampy trailer trash that she is. But...being unmarried will hurt Bloomberg--they'd better tie the knot if he wants to run.

2. What's all this about? The girlfriend of the mayor...

of New York City does NOT need a police escort?!? Well, clearly she hasn't met Rudy Giuliani's girlfriends.

Seriously though, good for her. Rudy and Co just wanted to make themselves more important than they really are.

3. I don't know if she should advertise this. Could be dangerous, especially

since he's got a bazillion dollars--that'd be one hell of a ransom demand. They'd better rethink it--Bloomberg should pay for private security for her.

4. Waaaaaaaiiit

The bigger story here is . . .

Bloomberg has a girlfriend? *giggle* He seems like such an uptight uh - well, Bachelor! Who'da thunk it. And I go out in Manhattan all the time, have friends that live over the bridge . . . who'da thunk Bloomberg had a girlfriend.


Seriously though - She does make that tramp the Ghoul is schtupping look - well - quite a bit the tramp!
