Sequel to cyberspace Oddo-see: a NYC fundraiser

New York City Councilman Jim Oddo's candid response to a European TV outfit's Ali G.-like attempt to waste his time with a fake interview became an ad-hoc YouTube hit just a little while back. Perhaps playing off that cyber-fame, Oddo has sent out invites to his Jan. 9 fundraiser in the Woolworth Building, where tix go for $250 to $1,000 that show a beaming Oddo next to the adjectives: Shy, Bashful, Introverted, Reserved, Reticent and Soft-spoken. For those just turning in, here's a holiday rerun of the cult classic, showing we really have strayed far from the days of FDR's radio-broadcast fireside chats.But make no mistake: The Staten Island Republican's hair-trigger don't-tread-on-me spirit won him fans among libs and righties alike. Underneath the original is a subsequent interview with the Councilmember. What would you have done?
