There seems to be a problem with getting priorities straight in New York. Bloomberg had to be pressured to cancel the Marathon: he seemed to have a problem understanding that the destruction of Sandy is far more widespread than it was after 9/11 and that it was a bad idea to kick storm refugees out of their hotel rooms so that marathon runners could have them. Or that the people of Staten Island, lacking basic necessities and facing hypothermia, would not get all enthused about well-fed and sheltered runners dashing through their streets.
Now this:
Dozens of National Guardsmen, and Army and Air Force personnel who have
been sleeping at Manhattan’s Lexington Armory in between
hurricane-relief shifts are being booted — to make room for Victoria’s
Secret models in anticipation of Wednesday’s runway show.
I'm sure Justin Bieber and Rhianna will be quite a bit more comfortable than the displaced guardsmen have been.

No, really?
ReplyDeleteHow can I keep being surprised by the continual lows these people stoop to??
I'm still waiting for the same sort of excoriation Bush received after Katrina to be heaped on their heads by the major media... Maybe I shouldn't hold my breath?
DeleteFinger pointing, and nothing getting don; but as usual with this bunch the military gets kicked to the curb!!! Sigh
ReplyDeleteBut Bloomberg commuted with the mob on mass transit this morning - the photo op is the thing, right?
DeleteIt's astounding how ineffectual these people are (the pols, not the military).
ReplyDeleteThere was a whole delay thing where Bloomberg wasn't going to let the Guard in at all because they carry guns, too.
DeleteI'm still thinkin "tarred/feathered/run-out-of-town-on-a-rail(shoved-in-sideways)" is too good for this douchebag. Someone clue him in that he shouldn't even bother running when he's up for reelection again, if he's still processing oxygen, that is.
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering when he is up for election. There ate people who would love a big gulp right now...
