Is Sex A Problem For Bloomberg?

This isn't the start for a Viagra commercial starring the Mayor and potential Independent Presidential candidate. That could be better than a rehashing of a nasty sex scandal that occurred a few years ago when Bloomberg was running his media empire. According to the suit filed ten years ago, the then-CEO had quite a mouth when it came to commenting on women in his company.

From The Huffington Post:

Among the allegations in the complaint:

_Bloomberg asked the woman who sued if she was giving her boyfriend "good" oral sex.

_He said "I'd like to do that" and "That's a great piece of a--" to describe women in the office.

_When he found out the woman was pregnant, he told her "Kill it!" and said "Great! Number 16!" _ an apparent reference to the number of women in the company who were pregnant or had maternity-related status.

Bloomberg denied the accusations. Both sides were barred from commenting because of confidentiality agreements. Stu Loeser, the mayor's spokesman, said Friday he had no comment for this story.

Bloomberg just sounds like another typical elite member of the Old Boys Club. The story made minor headlines when he ran for mayor and didn't have much effect. Of course this is New York and anything to do with sex is pretty much ignored unless it is really, really bad. If the Mayor actually gets into the race, he can be hurt by allegations like these in places that care about a bad-mouthed chauvinist.
