De Blasio planned ‘snow shoveling’ shows at home

Mayor de Blasio’s attention-drawing turns as an average Joe shoveling snow in front of his Park Slope home in January were premeditated, records show.

Hizzoner’s schedule, obtained by The Post under a Freedom of Information Act request, shows the snow clearing was blocked out beforehand — and even planned from the outset to include his popular son’s cameo.

“7:00 – 7:20 am: Snow Shoveling Front of Residence with Dante de Blasio,” reads the mayor’s schedule on January 3.

A separate entry on January 22, following another blanketing of the city, shows a shorter shoveling shift was planned: “7:00-7:15 AM SNOW SHOVELING.”

The mayor’s hokey snow-clearing routine early on in his tenure — which included advice to “bend the knees” for proper technique — helped solidify the everyman image he had honed during the mayoral campaign.

City Hall spokesman Phil Walzak said de Blasio had merely been “fulfilling his obligation” to keep his own sidewalk clear.

How proletariat of him. By the way: Is his wife still calling the chef at Grace mansion “servant”? “Come come servant, you and your family will have the Stalin special for Thanksgiving - No food for you! Ha ha!”

“fulfilling his obligation” to keep his own sidewalk clear...

By being a true NY'er, by shoveling ILLEGALLY into the street.

As much as I have no use for Communists at all, this tactic of planned performances is not new, nor is it exclusive to the democrats. What is new, is for the majority of news outlets to accept the propaganda message as fact, without any second guessing or follow up.

Everybody hates Bill de Blasio. Philadelphia’s motto is THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE EXCEPT FOR BILL DE BLASIO. WE HATE HIM.

He was shoveling it right into the street, too. After the whole Obama media creation, anyone who believes anything on TV news is a %&#@ idiot.
