Bill de Blasio, like his progressive political idol Barack Obama, is finding out that you cant do the New Politics if you dont pay attention to the old politics.
In Obamas case, it was a failure to recognize the threat posed to him by Republicans who didnt buy into his calls for a post-partisan partnership with Congress. For New Yorks ambitious liberal mayor, it was an inability to keep long-simmering tensions with the citys traditionally powerful police department from boiling over in the last few days.
Just over a year after sailing into office with 72 percent of the vote on a message of transformational change, de Blasio found his mayoralty subsumed by a torrent of anger, unleashed by the murder of two police officers in Brooklyn Saturday by a troubled gunman who said he was killing pigs to avenge the deaths of two men by cops in Staten Island and Ferguson, Missouri. By Monday, de Blasio was lashing out at the press corps that covers him, trying to paper over public divisions with his own police commissioner and coping with what friends described as the emotional blow of facing public rejection by many in the nations biggest police force.

Al’s been sort of quiet today as well.
You know what though, vet...
I do not give a damn shit what Bill de Blasio has lost.
Two men lost their lives.
A young man lost his dad at Christmas.
Wives lost their husbands.
America lost two heroes.
To Hell with Bill de Blasio and every single other stinking liar politician and race pimp that has purposely inflamed people in this country to behave this way with their lies.
Evil men such as these are leading this country straight into Hell as fast as they can, because burning her down is their goal, and what better place to burn someting than in Hell.
We must all turn our backs on men such as these forever, or they will tear us apart.
And sadly it’s going just as planned.
Now if Obama came to NYC with his motorcade he could disrupt the protesters gathering, bigtime. But alas, its NYC in winter and not Honolulu. Bammy dont do cold vacays for nobody.
Son and boyfriend?? - Two different people or one person?
Someone needs an editor
why did he change his name, and what did he change it from..?
Billy needs to realize that just because you can play with fire, doesn’t mean you can never lose control of fire.
Amen Bro, amen.
Typical liberal “Don’t blame me, I’m the victim.” excuse.
Warren Wilhelm is blaming the press “for dividing us.” Not his fault at all.
“In Obamas case, it was a failure to recognize the threat posed to him by Republicans who didnt buy into his calls for a post-partisan partnership with Congress.”
Oh! So they are now calling, “Let’s do it my way!” a call for a post-partisan partnership. Where do the come up with these distortions of reality.
Another Dinkins??
Nice limerick. Too much for an haiku though.
Is the NY Post still calling him Kaiser Wilhelm?
Please, enough with The Politico's lies... Warren Wilhelm Jr. won with 18% of "the vote".
Bump
That’s mayor’s race was a mess, thanks to Weiner.
this commie, police hating idiot needs to resign and a law and order mayor must be elected.
Are NYer’s dumb or what?
Funny thing is, I remember him telling republicans to get on the back of the bus and to go along for the ride. Insulting, racially charged, deeply dividing...
But no one remembers.
