Hey de Blasio, put on your big-boy pants and act like our mayor

Pinstriped sage Yogi Berra has been credited with the observation that “you can learn a lot by watching.” Alas, such wisdom is wasted on Mayor Putz.

Asked why he wasn’t at the unveiling of the glitzy plan for LaGuardia Airport with Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Vice President Joe Biden and other officials, the mayor offered a revealing response: He only goes to events where he’s invited to speak.

OK, we get it. De Blasio’s war with Cuomo continues, and because the gov wouldn’t let him near the microphone, the mayor boycotted the event rather than fume in silence.

I think we know what Yogi would advise in such situations: “Grow up!”

In the middle of his second year, de Blasio has hit a wall. Trapped in a far-left ideological swamp, he can’t bring himself to put his duty to the city ahead of his narrow-minded petulance. He doesn’t even seem to be trying.

He’s feuding with just about everybody in the city and Albany, even liberal allies like Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Comptroller Scott Stringer. While harmony can be overrated and disputes necessary, de Blasio’s battles are more about attitude than substance.

Putzie fancies himself a national political figure, and will travel across the country to give a middling speech. He’s missing in action here too often, yet still acts as if winning the election was a blank check and that when he speaks, the waves should part. . .

"you can learn a lot by watching.”

Probably true, but not what he said, as any student of Yogi's beyond-obvious one-liners ["it's so crowded nobody goes there anymore" and "when you come to the fork in the road, take it"] can tell without even knowing the quote.

The real quote, which is pure Yogi, was: "You can see a lot just by watching." Indeed.

Everybody hates Bill de Blasio.

Barney, the friendly purple dinosaur sings,

“I love you.

You love me.

We all hate Bill de B”.

De Blobbio is feuding with just about everybody.....he fancies himself a national
political figure, and travels across the country to speak. He’s MIA in NYC much
too often, yet he still acts as if winning the election was a blank check ..... and
that when he speaks, the waves should part.....

Whatshername is wearing those pants.

[ripley]

The commissars have not given him permission to wear his big boy pants.

IMHO

De Blasio a 'putz in big boy pants...' man, that's getting low.

I think he's a schmuck myself. ;-)

Whatshername is wearing those pants.

would that be his ex lesbian wife? She may have his gonads in a jar too.

[Impy]

Worst NYC Mayor ever? Or is it still Lindsay?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Comrade Wilhelm is dreadful, but until he tops John Vliet’s feat of driving one million city residents out in a decade (from the productive class, including my parents), he’ll remain tied with or just behind Dinkins, the 2nd worst in the modern era.

[junta]

But don’t the nerd boys and fag hags at NR find him a suitable role model for “submissive white male?” I mean Uncle Jeb Bush is as submissive white male as anyone and perhaps the best role model but Blasio has to be up there as well.

“I never said most of the things I said.” - Yogi.

The metaphorical, as opposed to actual, Yogi Berra is a vessel into which we pour our imaginings and fantasies. BTW, the actual quote was: “You can observe a lot by just watching.”
