The US Conference of Mayors kicked off their 83rd annual meeting this weekend and as part of the proceedings they named their new president for the coming year. The lucky winner was Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
No, seriously. I’m not kidding.
...
As noted in the local Baltimore coverage, there were some observers who were immediately skeptical regarding this selection. Given all of the recent… activity in Charm City, isn’t she a bit busy? There’s a big trial coming up involving some of her police officers, her State’s Attorney is taking on water like a submarine with a screen door and – depending how this trial goes – her town may be going up in flames again before the summer is out. One might think she’s already got plenty of irons in the fire.
But perhaps even more to the point, the Conference is supposed to be about collecting and sharing good ideas in an effort to help cities improve their conditions and address challenges. Wouldn’t you suppose that somebody with a long, proven track record of success would be a logical choice?
...
Just a suggestion here, but how about considering the mayor of a city where things are actually working?

Stop.........it......I.....can’t......breeve. It’s such a farce that it should be running on comedy central.
WTF?
Egotism on steroid display.
So she got a big vote of confidence here. But why???
I suspect somebody wanted to make a political statement with her selection. But was it a statement of support for her leadership leading up to and during the riots?? It can’t be that.
This organizations does not require Brains anyway
“We’ll do whatever we want! Nyah! Nyah!”
Maybe she can give a presentation on her “space to destroy” initiative and how that’s going.
They picked Mayor Mouth-Breather?
They’re honoring incompetence?
Amazing.
I guess these idiot mayors endorse giving thugs space to destroy.
I say let everyone see what a dunce she is.
She is a shining beacon of accomplishment and competence among the “You Didn’t Build That/Our Time Is Now” crowd.
It’s for Mayor’s of cities larger than 30,000 so you know the politics of the majority.
The country has gone completely NUTZ!!!
‘Cause we all wants to be like Baltimore!
This just in. Rawlings-Blake awarded Nobel Prize for good governance
Just another affirmative action certification she can ad to her fake portfolio.
Well now, that gives the world a good picture of the demise of city leadership in the US - a really sick folk.
Was Ray Nagin busy?
Sounds like they're mostly a gaggle of Democrap/loony-liberal geese from across the fruited plain. They have to be, or this idiot woman wouldn't have been elected as their president.
(.....and, most probably, the competent and responsible Republican and conservative mayors in the 'taken-over-by-the-Left' Conference didn't want to campaign-for and head-up this brainless organization, anyhow.
