The Bloomberg campaign is responding to Freddy’s jib-jab with, as usual, overwhelming force: a new television spot whose script begins:

Not an inaccurate statement. But given that Freddy’s spot only saw the light of day courtesy of the Post, the animated spot seems more like an excuse than a provocation.
