(New York City) In a press conference today, Mayor Bloomberg promised that the response to Hurricane Irene would be much better than that of the huge blizzard the crippled New York City this past winter.
“I’m tired of people thinking of me as some kind of aloof billionaire. I’m going to roll up my sleeves and be out there with the mop and bucket I borrowed from my super, Julio. At least I think his name is Julio. And I think he works in one of my buildings. I’ve got two of them right next to each other. I think.”
“Anyway, I’ve got a mop and bucket. That’s the point.”
“If it doesn’t work, I’m willing to pay for any damages out of my own pocket.”
“Oh, and by the way,” Bloomberg added in his trademark stilted Spanish: “Kwee-da-doo, pizo mo-ha-do.”
The problems with the NYC blizzard cleanup had everything to do with the sanitation union.
I think it had more to do with poor planning and poor leadership.
I heard the second in command in the sanitation department wasn’t even in town for the biggest blizzard.
Is Bloomberg a little “light in his loafers” or is just me?
Yeah,
He’s so phoney in the way he tries to present himself as a man of the people.
Hope he does a better job with the hurricane than with the blizzards. Or it may be his Katrina.
Yeah, he should pay for the cleanup out of his pocket. He still have a few billion left.
I’m not sure that “light in his loafers” means phoney. Unless of course, he’s having gay phone sex.
