Not to cut the idiot any slack, but Bloomberg IS Jewish and it IS Hanukkah.
Oh, come on! Do you really think the guy is in shul while 4 people lie dead? He’s in Bermuda as he is every weekend. This happened several years ago when we had a blizzard and he cleared the streets of his neighborhood (the upper east side) while sunning in the Caribbean. Let’s get real about this guy.
While in a shop in my neighborhood early this evening, I glanced up at the TV on the wall. Bloombutt was making some sort of boilerplate statement which might as well have been "BlahBlahBlah."
DiBlahBlah, the mayor-elect, was also making some sort of sympathetic noises into a microphone. Since he is not yet mayor, I wondered WHY he had to make any sort of statement at all. I'm sure he could care less about the Metro-North victims. Unless they were Communists.
