In New York City politics, it seems like a rite of passage, but one of a decidedly unflattering nature. Four years ago, when Mayor Michael Bloomberg ran for a previously illegal third term in office, many bloggers and activists used Mayor Bloomberg's campaign mailers as a lining for feline litter boxes. This act of protest was in response to the blatant disregard for the two voter referenda that instituted term limits for elected municipal officials. This time around, the mayoral campaign mailers sent by Christine Quinn are being used to line litter boxes. Quinn was seen as the chief architect of the back room deal with Mayor Bloomberg to force City Council to vote to overturn term limits. Consequently, she's now earned this dishonorable distinction.
