A lawyer involved with the South Carolina gun dealer's case against Michael Bloomberg just emailed me a copy of the mayor's deposition, taken last week.
[UPDATE: Here's the full transcript of Bloomberg's deposition.]
Here's an exchange that jumped out at me:
Q Mayor, how many magazine covers have you been on in the last six months that you know of?
A Three or four.
Q Newsweek?
A Newsweek.
Q What are the others, do you know?
A Time, Fortune, that may have been it. There may be one other that I don't recall.
Q Okay. And again, you are listed as the 39th most influential person in the world in 2007, correct?
MR. TABER: Objection.
A I'm flattered, but don't know if it's true or not, but I was listed, yes.
Q Are you going to run for President?
MR. TABER: Objection. You're asking him that question when, as of today?
Q Mayor, do you understand the question?
MR. TABER: Well, if the question is a question, Mr. Pierce, as of today, I don't believe that it's relevant.
A Three or four.
Q Newsweek?
A Newsweek.
Q What are the others, do you know?
A Time, Fortune, that may have been it. There may be one other that I don't recall.
Q Okay. And again, you are listed as the 39th most influential person in the world in 2007, correct?
MR. TABER: Objection.
A I'm flattered, but don't know if it's true or not, but I was listed, yes.
Q Are you going to run for President?
MR. TABER: Objection. You're asking him that question when, as of today?
Q Mayor, do you understand the question?
MR. TABER: Well, if the question is a question, Mr. Pierce, as of today, I don't believe that it's relevant.
