Mayor Ass-Man: ‘How Dare You Accuse Me of Sexism, You Lying Media Bitches?’

Posted on | February 1, 2013 | 8 Comments

OK, the headline may be a slight paraphrase of Mayor Bloomberg’s response to questions at Thursday’s press conference:

On Monday, New York Magazine published a profile . . . that contained a quote from Mayor Michael Bloomberg that got a great deal off attention. According to Jonathan Van Meter . . . Mayor Bloomberg “gestured toward a woman in a very tight floor-length gown” and said, ”Look at the ass on her.” Politicker asked the mayor about the comment at a press conference . . .
“I never said it and I don’t know where it came from, next question,” the mayor replied tersely. . . .
We pressed the point and asked the mayor whether he rejected the characterization of the quote as part of a pattern of sexist remarks.
“OK, you can write anything you want,” Mayor Bloomberg said. “Don’t be ridiculous, that’s an outrage for you to say that.”

Mayor Ass-Man is probably surprised to learn that not even his advocacy of gun-control can spare him from feminist wrath.

    Methinks he doth protest too much.

    Someone on staff went overboard on a planted story.

    No, it’s all that money that’s making his head swell. He thinks he’s King Midas and should rule the world (and all you serfs and peons too.).
