NEW YORK CITY MAYOR FUMED OVER 'SMOKING' ON STAGE AT STONES CONCERT; BAND RACED OUT OF GARDEN AVOIDING COPS

**Exclusive**

New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is fuming mad over Rolling Stones members smoking on stage at Madison Square Garden during an nationally televised concert this weekend, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"The mayor sent cops to issue summonses," one stage source told the DRUDGE REPORT late Saturday. "But the cops watched the show, off stage, by a monitor, instead of stopping the concert."

HBO cameras captured band members Keith Richards and Ron Wood smoking cigarettes while performing.

"The band raced out of the Garden after they finished their last number, avoiding the police," an insider said. "The music had not even finished playing; and they were in cars already, spinning away. The did not even go to their dressing rooms!"

In December, ex-smoker Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed a strict smoking ban in New York City.

Bloomberg is also trying to get smoking banned in Central Park.

I know.
Too bad, though. In other threads he's usually more open minded and quick thinking. Usually he can see one's point.
Here... he argued that New York isn't that screwed up, that the vote fraud here doesn't exist.
If he lived here, he'd know I'm telling the truth.

This is funny,,the mayor getting his bloomers in a knot over a little stage pot,,Tee Hee

LOL..... If the mayor could be sure it was pot, everything would be alright, but just think of the possibility of it being a [heaven forbid] CIGARETTE.

Assuming I am the individual you are writing about, you will not be able to back up your statement, since I have nothing against people smoking in appropriate settings. Please take your antics elsewhere, O rude one.

[Great Dane]

#83...... so darned typical, what the majority wants, as long as it sits well with Cultural Jihad.

[Cultural Jihad]

You raise an interesting point. When the majority of Americans embrace the moral-liberalism of the LP, the Greens, and the Democrat ideologues, and start to clamor for such bloody entertainment, perhaps gladiatorial combat will become legalized. Roll a spliff and enjoy the show dude!

[JavaTheHutt]

Hey Bloomberg, "You can't always get what you want"

quit drinking your bong water and relax

Hey, I saw that movie. . . but I thought it was filmed in Chicago. Loved the mall chase.

It's apparent that "The Stones" did not contribute to the Blooming Idiot campaign. If they did this would have never happened.

This is crazy! Bloomberg is getting out of hand!

[Revolting cat!]

Well, the Scandalous Rolling Stones! In the sixties they were arrested for pissing against the wall of a petrol station. In the seventies, there was the Altamont incident with a murder of James Meredith in front of the stage (by the Hell's Angels, who, remember, had been hired by the saintly Dreadful Grape) and now in the zeroes, the scandal to top it all: smoking tobacco on stage at Madison Square Garden! That finally does it! An outrage, I tell ya!

[The Wizard]

Bloomberg has truned into a complete asshole

[The Wizard]

Bloomberg has turned into a complete asshole

[SheLion]

When your too spineless to cut spending, stick it to the smokers and claim it's for their own good!

[SheLion]

The cops realized that the Stones were merely smoking pot..

Well, FRICKEN BLOOMINGIDOT LOVES HIS POT!" It's CIGARETTES he forbids his sheep to smoke. The pervert. I can't STAND that idiot!
