JFK Jr. for mayor?
NEW YORK, March 10 (UPI) - The press conference was supposed to be to
announce that Alfonse D'Amato will soon be writing a political advice
column for John F. Kennedy Jr.'s magazine, George.
But the former U.S. senator turned yesterday's media event at
Manhattan's Le Cirque 2000 into well, a media circus, by suggesting his
new boss run for mayor of New York City.
Asked if that was his plan, Kennedy replied, "Uh, not today."
Pushed by reporters to reveal whether he could see himself in public
office, Kennedy quipped: "I can see myself lying on the beach in a
hammock, so I can see myself in elective office, too."
D'Amato said that Kennedy is handling everything the right way.
He said: "He's got that electricity. He's got that persona. He can
do and be whatever he chooses, and he will choose in the fullness of
time to pursue public office."
