Worse Than Dinkins

Posted on | December 27, 2014 | 10 Comments

The tenure of David Dinkins as mayor of New York City is universally remembered as the absolute nadir of that city’s history, but Bill de Blasio is making a strong claim to the title Worst Mayor Ever:

NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of officers outside the church where a funeral was held for a policeman killed along with his partner in an ambush shooting turned their backs on the mayor as he spoke during Saturday’s service.
The reaction from officers watching Officer Rafael Ramos’ funeral on giant TV screens followed comments from police union officials who had said Mayor Bill de Blasio contributed to a climate of mistrust that contributed to the killings of the two New York Police Department officers.
Inside Christ Tabernacle Church in Queens, however, mourners gave de Blasio polite applause before and after his speech.

(Via Memeorandum.) Oh, he got “polite applause” from people mourning a dead cop. Way to go, Mayor Golf Claps!

    DeBlasio’s worse than Dinkins and Obama’s worse than Carter.

    Did somebody order a reprise of the worst Democrats in power or something?

    Wow, Obama is usually only 45 minutes to an hour late, at least since he left the senate.

    Dinkins was just an asshole; deBlasio is reaching Lindsey-level stupid, and there aint no Koch on the horizon to dig us out.

    Your poster there caused me to hit the google trail and damned if it isn’t so!
    New York City is in deep trouble with this guy, he another Obama. He’s going to make Dinkins look like Reagan!
    This will be fun to watch.
