March 16, 2006: Business Attire Required

Tomorrow morning Tom Suozzi will be recognized for his service as the outgoing co-chairperson of the Metropolitan Transportation Council at their annual meeting.

Madame Tussauds unveils a wax figure of U2 lead singer Bono--will they put him next to Hillary?

Then the City Council Committee on Lower Manhattan Redevelopment will unveil its proposal regarding construction authority at the World Trade Center site.

In the evening, the Metropolitan Republican Club hosts its St. Patrick's Day Party, while the New York Young Republican Club meets with special guest John Faso (which requires business attire), and finally, the Chinatown Republican Club hosts a fundraiser for Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco.

Politicker at the Fake Hillary Event

Andrea Peyser went with the obvious "stiff" jokes, but we at The Politicker love nothing more than a Rubenstein fake-political event. So Nicole Brydson headed up to Madame Tussauds this morning.

The venue was uncommon, the figures, unreal, she writes. Here's her campaign photo diary, 2008.

Hillary greets the crowd, on hand to hear her ambitions for 2008. The proud husband looks on, hoping to get a chance to once again fly regularly aboard Air Force One. Rudy and George pose with Hillary campaign aide, Lou. Support from the outgoing prez is always crucial.

See you at the inauguration!
