New York City Mayor Bill de Blasios inaugural was filled with backward-looking speeches both graceless and smug The The New York Times said in a scathing editorial Friday.
The papers editorial board called out three inauguration participants for their demagoguery and defended former Mayor Michael Bloomberg from the speakers jabs at his tenure.
Worst among them, but hardly alone, was the new public advocate, Letitia James, who used her moment for her own head-on attack: on the 12 years of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, read the Times editorial. James, who now holds the office formerly held by de Blasio, brought a 12-year-old girl named Dasani Coates to the stage to highlight child hunger.
Ms. James turned her into Exhibit A of an Inauguration Day prosecution: the People v. Mayor Bloomberg, said the Times of Coates appearance.
The New York Post reported that James inaccurately claimed to have something to do with shedding light on Coates story.
The Times editorial also criticized the pastor whose invocation likened New York to a plantation.
Rev. Fred A. Lucas Jr. of Brooklyn Community Church peppered his bombastic invocation with several references to slavery and bondage, likening the institution to the citys current struggle with economic inequality and poverty.
Emperor di Blasio.
I doubt it. Look at what they've allowed obama to get away with.
Shouldn’t the New York Times understand by now that every left-wing event turns into another rendition of the hate-filled, over-the-top Paul Wellstone funeral?
Unfortunately for the New York Times, this particular funeral led by a Communist mayor will last for four years, by the end of which the words ‘’New York’’ will have such a bad connotation that the newspaper of record will be eager to change its name.
“This idiot will get reigned in by the liberal moneyed elites
I doubt it. Look at what they’ve allowed obama to get away with. “
That’s in the abstract. When they start getting blown away when they are walking to the theater or jogging in central park, you’ll see the screaming start.
Geesh? His sirname is THAT?
Harry lives on a huge, secluded estate in upstate New York, in a county that's 70 percent Republican, far from any messy street people or Jamaicans.
I read the entire editorial. If anything, it is very praising of the Marxist Mayor and will carry his bucket for as long as he wants.
VILHELM....... Yavool!!
his family roots might turn up some interesting connections da?
“De Blasio was born Warren Wilhelm, Jr.”
Now if we could only find out owebama’s birth name...
Is that the lesbian wife in front?
.
I hadnt yet heard anything about her “choices”
Yup, Wilhelm to deBlasio... I see the connection.
LOL - good one Titus
It’s on like Donkey Kong now.
LOL!
I wonder how long it will take for Manhattan to degenerate. Eliminate stop and frisk will help the criminal class return.
There's no good guys to root for; not *one* of the three mentioned. I hope they *all* crash and burn.
To all the NYSlimes reporters who actually live in NYC: I am looking forward to YEARS of schadenfreude over your support for and election of De Blasio. LOL. /morons
