WONDERMIKE: We were talking in the other thread about memorable political moments in our lives, and I have to confess that I was really moved by the sight last night on my way home of hundreds of people waiting in line outside City Hall just to shake the hand of our new mayor, Michael Nutter. Mind you, his predecessor was so unpopular that he couldn't get people to line up unless he was giving away iPhones, but still, it says something about the hope that we invest in our politicians that so many well-wishers were there.
I attended the inaugural celebration Tuesday night, enjoying some Chickie & Pete's cocktail shrimp, Sid Booker's fried shrimp (as good as Jim Leff claimed) and various and sundry non-shrimp items from purveyors around the City, but headed home before what ended up being the true highlight of the evening, thankfully captured on YouTube: our new mayor, a former club dj himself back in the day, rapping his way through "Rapper's Delight". Now, that's a memorable moment.
