**SNIP**

When a reporter brought up a ticket-fixing scandal within the NYPD that erupted during former Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s tenure, de Blasio’s got snappy.

“I don't even understand the parallel. Ticket fixing is illegal, period. Making an inquiry is perfectly appropriate, ticket fixing is illegal,” he shot back at the reporter.

I once got a ticket on my way to perform at a community event and when I told the Mayor, he took the ticket from me and told me he’d take care of it. Apparently he did.

De Blasio is “testy”? Isn’t that part of the male reproductive system? That would be right because de Blasio is a dick.

That Daily News reporter is about to become an Enemy of the State for using such blatantly heteronormative language.

I wonder what the current Commie-approved euphemism for "testy" is these days - knowing how the leftists 'think' it's probably something like 'pissy'...
