Bloomberg's on the pudgy side, himself.

This is low-rent, to criticize a dead guy.

Of course, the Atkins' folks could simply reproduce the cause of death listed on the death certificate. In no place have I read that Atkins (a cardiologist) had heart trouble.

Bloomberg's such a disappointment, after Rudy.

There isn't even any question about this. He died because of HEAD TRAUMA. Bloomin' Idiot might as well have blamed fatty foods for someone dying of a gunshot wound.

I've had it with Bloomberg. I've given him every benefit of the doubt for far too long, but this is the last straw. Elected officials should not make rude, mean-spirited personal comments about their constituents, even dead ones. Can you imagine what Atkins's family must have felt when they heard about this?

If I'm back in NYC by the next mayoral election, I'll vote for the Democrat just to get rid of this jerk, unless a real Republican comes along to challenge Bloomberg in the primary. (Which can work in New York; Dinkins beat in incumbent Ed Koch in the Dem primary in '89.)

Hello?
Does no one remember that Atkins had a heart attack in June 2002? He allegedly had a congential heart condition.

What you really mean is it's low rent to criticize a dead guy that you LIKE. I assume you have no problem with people citicizing Hitler (a dead guy), Idi Amin (also dead), or Stalin (strangely enough, yes, he's dead too).

Atkins passed out a few yrs. ago due to a heart abnormality which was NOT associated with blood clots in the coronary arteries, which leads to heart attacks. I think he had an infection, endocarditis, which led to further problems.
