The first fumble of Super Bowl Sunday belonged to Mayor Bill de Blasio — who dropped the Staten Island Zoo’s groundhog early Sunday morning.
De Blasio was trying to handle Staten Island Chuck when the anxious animal squirmed right out of the mayor’s hands and fell on his noggin.
“Next year they’ll need a net,” said Ann Jackman, who was at the park with her 14-year-old daughter.
“Look how tall he is. Can you imagine falling from that height?”

Cleanup on aisle four!

Alas....another fork in the road

Leave the groundhogs to the Pennsylvanians.
NYC is all concrete anyway...no place for a self-respecting groudhog (or human being, for that matter) to live.

PETA...animal cruelty alert.

Hey, being dropped on his head would probably do
De Blasio some good!

Poor groundhog realized that he was being held by a rodent far bigger than himself, and feared for his life that he would be eaten!

maybe we can ... next time...get the groundhog to drop the politician?
To: Libloather
I think Chuck has had enough of being mishandled by the scum that NY elects into office. Imagine the amount of times he’s had to be touched by Bloomburg? He ended up biting him. And now he has to deal with De Blasio? That groundhog is unfortunate indeed. He is discriminating in his tastes, however.

The groundhog was probably thinking, “Get your Communist-assed hands off me!”

Staten Island Chuck has caused more problems over the years. DeBlasio drops him, he bites Bloomberg (remember “I don’t want to reach in and have the little Son of a B___h bite me”?).
