(Twitter)</p></div></p>
<p><em>The Observer</em> couldn't resist. We already have <a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/08/meet-rachel-figueroa-levin-the-soap-making-jewryican-stay-at-home-mom-behind-twitters-elbloombito/">Rachel Figueroa-Levin's email, she of the brilliant El Bloombito</a> Twitter feed. Since the mayor took the time out of his busy day <a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/08/mayor-bloomberg-responds-to-el-bloombito-video/">to remark on her schtick</a>, we thought we'd see what she had to say to him on the subject. Predictably, it was pretty funny.<!--more--></p>
<p>"I'm tickled that the mayor responded!" she told <em>The Observer</em>, either referring to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG1sYw6O4Ak&amp;feature=channel_video_title">the YouTube video he posted</a> or <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MikeBloomberg/status/108238639405875201">the tweet he made @her</a>.</p>
<p>We wondered how she would keep the feed going, since it's not like every mayoral press conference is broadcast live on T.V. and radio—if you're lucky, there's a live stream online. "I get my inspiration for new tweets from nyc.gov and associated twitter feeds," she said. "Can I just walk into a press conference with a baby? Because I totally would do that."</p>
<p>Assuming she could, here's what she would ask the mayor: "Can Mayor Bloomberg introduce me to his Spanish tutor? I would like for my daughter to be fluent in Spanish."</p>
<p>And of course, El Bloombito himself had to weigh in: "Yo soy muy happydando que el mayorador found mi twitteriento humoroso.  He tooko todos Los everything in mucho stride. Que classy!"</p>
<p>That's only 129 characters, too. She <em>is</em> good.</p>
<p>(*See what we did there? Is it "Mayor" in English, or "Mayor" in Spanish, as in "major?")</p>
