Fresh off his "climate disruption"-driven endorsement of President Obama, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has chosen to divert critical food supplies and power generators from desperate residents of Staten Island to Sunday's New York City Marathon...

Re: Any chance of re-electing Giuliani?

He may run again. At least he’s been hinting at it recently.

Any runner who participates in this travesty is sub human (like Bloomberg) and should be shunned by all decent members of society. There could well be riots and attacks on the runners on Sunday. Bloomberg and the runners are spitting in the faces of the millions of area residents who are without power, heat, gas and in some cases homes. Bloomberg is the most vile politician in America by a wide margin, even over Obama and Pelosi.

This is what happens when you elect liberals to office so I feel no sorrow for New Yorkers suffering, next time maybe they will vote correctly as pain, cold,hunger is a great motivator...

I guess they did elect Rudy though. I’d lay odds that Rudy wouldn’t have diverted the food and generators for a marathon.

WRONG GUESS.

Rudy was on FOX last night and praised nanny blommy for letting the marathon go on.

I don’t see any problem, bloomingass is nice and warm, has plenty of food, is nice and dry, has plenty of gas and is not suffering one tiny bit.

There is really, really, really something wrong with this man, how can he make such stupid decisions?

Oh wait, he is buddies with mac daddy, the leading moron, that explains it all.

There’s an article at my local paper’s website saying that some runners from here have decided not to go to New York because they think it’s tacky. According to the article, Bloomberg says “the show must go on” because businesses are counting on the attendees for sales, rentals, etc.

(I rarely look at the local Communist media, but I was looking for information on a major traffic jam yesterday. Nothing mentioned ...)

On Sunday, Fox should run parallel coverage of the marathon and people struggling to fix the aftermath of Sandy. All day.

I should think that Bloomberg is toast after this blunder.

The marathon goes on, and Bette Midler got her party-- don't tell me that NYC doesn't have its priorities straight.

Add in Nanny Bloomberg's "global warming" endorsement of Obama, the turning away of non-union utility help, the argument over whether "cash only" charities of their own choosing are welcome, the "we only want the NYPD having guns" dismissal of National Guard help and similar glimpses from the past few days, and this dumb, pig-slopping, flyover country rube is a bit disillusioned. I reckon I'm just too gol-derned ignorant to understand the subtle nuances of the East Coast ruling class.

We have a few worthless politicians and personalities out here that are persistent as ticks (and just as pleasant), but you FReepers and like-minded people who live in NYC and the surrounding areas bear some crosses beyond all enduring.

The people of NYC get the government they deserve.

Yup. At least most of them.

This dovetails nicely with the electrical repair crews from Alabama being told to “stand down” in New Jersey because they were non-union.

If they need the generators for a stupid race, then they ought to call the stupid race OFF, or postpone it.

Nice...the marathon starts on the Staten Island side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. There should be protests.

Thousands of hungry and angry NYCers might just block the marathon route, especially at the beginning on Staten Island. That would be huge.

Bloomberg’s people would have thought of this and will be diverting huge amounts of police to control the crowds for the marathon. This won’t end well.
