It’s not so much irony as it is a gigantic middle finger to the laws of internal logic:

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg visited California on Wednesday to stump for a measure that would prevent legislators there from redrawing their district maps, a practice that he contends is a self-serving way for lawmakers to keep themselves in office.

Back in New York City, where Mr. Bloomberg is stumping for a measure that would allow him to keep his job as mayor for a third term, some saw a touch of irony.

At the very least, something tells me that the mayor is not the best spokesperson for that right now.
