Bloomberg is nothing but a TYRANT. Staten Island chuck for mayor

Rudy’s picnic with the New York press was over once her left office. Mr. 9/11 then thought he could use this tragedy to run for president. This is a man who publically humiliated Donna Hanover, then his wife, for some two-bit social climber–his current wife–who posseses none of the grace, professional accomplishment, or class of Ms. Hanover.

How an elected official treats the mother of his children in public tells you a great deal about the soul of that man.

The New York press wa shaking in its boots while Rudy was mayor and founds the testicular fortitude to address Rudy and his nonsense when he left office and starting floating this idea that he would run for president. Beyond New York, Rudy cannot (and will not) be elected to anything. Period.

He “pimped” 9/11 to fame and fortune while one of his deputy mayors, Rudy Washington, had to sue the city for 9/11 related health problems. Imagine that.

As for Bloomberg: there is an article in The New York Times today about his Deputy Mayor who, according to the article, is actually running the city. The apple does not fall far from the tree. This is another died-in-the-wool arrogant soul.

The city has become bifurcated with folks who can barely afford to live in the city and those who have fabulous wealth. Quality of life in New York? What the hell does that mean? Paying thousands a month to live in a damn closet-like apartment?

When the City fully collapses from greed, Rudy and Mike names will be remembered. That’s what happens when you have these outsized personalities.

“laws to the books that fine storeowners for having too many letters in their awnings, or ticket cars that are rendered immobile by snowstorms. And don’t even think about lighting up in a bar, sitting on a milk crate, or putting your bag down on the adjoining subway seat”

Those comments alone are enough to make me vote for him.
Thanks for making NYC a wee bit classier!

Rudy Giuliani took New York City out of the pit it was in and made it a great place to live again. Things have gotten worse again under the Bloomberg administration. Crime is creeping back up, and the homeless problem is spreading again, albeit slowly. Put simply, Mayor Giuliani gets it, and Mayor Bloomberg does not. Here’s hoping Mayor Giuliani takes a shot at becoming Governor.

Bloomberg has destroyed the NYC school system. Despite touting inflated scores on dumbed -down tests, the drop out rate continues at over 50%,and a NYC high school diploma, from all but the handful of selective High Schools,is considered a joke by employers. Fuzzy Math, whole -language, and pc indoctrination keep the kids stupid;but don’t worry: NYC has pretty waterfalls to distract the public from this and other Bloomberg failures!

Even Mayor Mike’s money and influence matters little compared to the political clout of the Man Who Runs Albany, Sheldon Silver. It’s at once amazing and appalling how one man can have so much influence over all facets of New Yorkers’ lives. Super Mike has his own Kryptonite – Silver Kryptonite.

As a long time New Yorker it is a pleasure to read this article. It is good to know not everyone has been hoodwinked.

My favorite Bloomberg shenanigan. Lamenting about all the cars that are driving into Manhattan and making a big deal about the fact that he, the mayor, takes the subway to work from his upper East Side apartment.

Except the NY Times pointed out that he takes a small caravan of SUV’s to the 59th street subway station and then hops on the train to City Hall.

Thanks for the info which the commenters confirm. “Nobody can debate and eviscerate a liberal like Rudy can; maybe then we need a different NY mayor for VP.

Correct, of course, especially when you say his fans know nothing about him. Kind of like Obama, though Bloomberg is actually more arrogant perhaps. His “cant we all just get along and not be so partisan” message is SO old and naive. Good work, Weiss. I will send this to my pro-Bloomberg friends, who will get angry, but not be able to counter your words.

Rudy was a GREAT leader. Bloomberg couldn’t hold his hairpiece.
