Bloomberg a no-show at derailment tragedy
NY Post ^ | 12/1/13 | Beth DeFalco and David K. Li

Where’s Bloomy?

While Gov. Cuomo, NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly and FDNY commissioner Sal Cassano rushed to the deadly Metro-North crash in the Bronx, lame duck Mayor Bloomberg was nowhere to be found.

It took five hours for Bloomberg’s office to tweet: “Thoughts and prayers with those impacted by today’s train derailment. If you are looking for a loved one who was onboard, call 311.”

It’s not known where Bloomberg was on Sunday morning, and City Hall staffers declined to reveal their boss’ whereabouts.

Didn’t you just read me condemn Metro North? Do you really want me to post a photo of an auto accident?

My paris live on Manhattan for a decade or so. I NEVER went there (had checked it out a bunch'a times in my yoot).

It's just not for me.

And now the peeps there are running a Commie social experiment with the new Hizz Onher. Doesn't sound like an improvement.

I always thought he looked like Ted Bundy. Curtis Sliwa always calls him Crazy-Eyed Cuomo. But he’s been a pretty quiet governor - unlike the jackass Christie. Maybe, despite his lib credentials, he’s matured on a private level. Or maybe it’s Sandra Lee’s cooking that has emasculated him.

I’m so very glad you never went there.

Another sign of American weakness. I can’t believe it why isn’t that system in perfect working order. I rode that train many times into the city years ago.

You should see his digs in London! His attempt to be masculine, non-whiny and non-hypochonrical - because the Brits hate the last two! He actually has a moose head over his fireplace!

He’s not the biggest jerk in politics, let’s just put it that way

He's one of the biggest jerks. He helped arrange Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac to use taxpayer $ to back the banks so they could issue massive numbers of subprimes thereby crashing the economy.

I can't find it in my heart to care about his personal relationships; I find it more important to understand how he trashed millions of people's lives.

You know MM, you’re right! Something stunned me into silence about that presser today, and you put your finger on it! Cuomo wasn’t being a pompous, showboating pr**k! What up with that? Did someone slip some Xanax in his bottled water?

Wow, you are right, definitely a slight resemblance to Bundy.

Although (and this might sound mean, but it’s just the truth) I’ve always seen him as very like Chico Marx.

He’s got that strange “accent” too, I don’t know he doesn’t sound like a guy who was born & bred in NY.

But I will say he’s always struck me as a sincere guy.

Read the entire post.

I was there tons of times in my (adolescent, young adult youth), including driving around Manhattan weekdays and weekends (you have to be 18 to escape from LI in a car ('cept for the ferries to CT - if they still exist) and being in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

Sorry, it was Bimini in the Bahamas in 1985. I got geographically confused. I was on a dive boat at the docks. The captain told us to go below after dark and show no lights and not look out of the portholes. But I peeked. Uniformed government agents who had checked us in during the day guarded a very large operation where they loaded cigarette boats for much of the night. The captain pointed out an unmarked boat with about 20 armed men not wearing uniforms. He said they were cops during the day and pirates at night. Incidentally, a man with a clipboard briefed each boat as they left on where the cutter was and where the radar plan was.

I must say (I’m ashamed to say it, in fact) that he was quiet and very up to date on the whole issue! He spoke quite impressively, in fact. No showboating, no Obama nonsense, only facts, facts, facts as they were coming in. What has happened? Did he actually take this a bit personally? After all, this area is the scene of his youth.

This is not an endorsement of Cuomo for president!!!

I rode Amtrak or Conrail from Princeton Junction to Penn Station everyday and night, while working at Rock Ctr (70s & 80s) and on Madison Ave, for 17yrs, and we never had a problems. Trains are safe; it’s the damned engineers texting, dozing, calling etc, and not paying attention, which are today’s troubles.

Oh, that’s too bad. I misread that you had never been in my great city.

Anyone here taken the Acela? The most wonderful “transportation” I have ever experienced! And, at that time, it was only a hundred bucks and I sat in the quiet section. Heaven!

This new cretin portends to be worse...much worse.

Speaking of de Blasio, was he at the scene, or did he oversleep again?
