New York, NY - Is Mayor Bloomberg's Slip of Tongue, On Purpose?

New York, NY - Councilman David Yassky - the only white candidate in a racially charged Brooklyn congressional contest - was all smiles for the second time after Mayor Bloomberg cheekily called him "congressman."
"Congressman . . .  I   Mean Councilman . . . David Yassky," Bloomberg said during an introduction to a bill-signing ceremony at City Hall.  Yassky smiled.
 
It's the second event in less than a month in which Bloomberg appeared at a public event with Yassky, and he attached "congressman" next to the candidate's name.
