There’s only room for one self-aggrandizing George in this town.

Just as I’m taking a poke at Larry Silverman, it gets announced that the Freedom Tower will get underway this July 4, not the during the Republican Convention, as had been previously reported (via Gothamist). Likely Pataki, fearing that the Preznit is becomeing more a political liability each passing week, pushed up the sked for maxmium self-interest. That, and with Larry “It wasn’t just a loss for me, but a loss for all of us” Silverman’s woes and gnarled death grip on the site, anything that makes it look like he is in any way necessary will be done. And a Karen Hughes-eqsue note to anyone who thinks having Time Warner Center Redux straddle what should be a place of honor is an abomination, remember, “after September 11, the American people are valuing development more and realizing that we need policies to value the dignity and worth of every development.” Don’t be a terrorist: love Big Pataki.

UPDATE: The LMDC hits all the high notes in its press release, also available in a poorly executed timeline.
