Maybe it's the jet lag

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is in Sligo to unveil a memorial to a New York National Guard regiment with ties to the region. He also tantalised reporters with hints about a (highly unlikely) run for President as a 3rd party candidate -- with the discussion tied to his current locale:

To the best of my knowledge, we've never had an independent candidate who was Irish ... or, for that matter, not Irish

Which is a rather confusing sentence, especially in light of the well-documented serious runs for President of Ross Perot and John Anderson, both of whom are either Irish or not Irish.
