The
New York Hysterical Times, the least likely place you’d expect to read a disapproving
account of the scoundrel who lives at Gracie Mansion, described
the groundhog killing mayor: “Poor Bill de Blasio─so good at being mayor
and so misunderstood.”
The real questions about #Groundhoghazi: did Charlotte jump or was she pushed? How much did the mayor know and when did he know it?— Todd Mayville (@Todd_Mayville) September 26, 2014
In an
interview published in New York magazine
and a subsequent news conference on Tuesday, de Blasio trumpeted his
accomplishments during his first term and cast himself as a misunderstood
mayor, hounded by an unfair press corps and underappreciated by what should be
a grateful public.
His remarks echoed an
essay the mayor posted online on Friday, sounding a tone that, as he
appears to be cruising toward a likely re-election without strong opponents, is
remarkably both self-aggrandizing and self-pitying.
De Blasio’s
job-approval rating has continued to sink throughout the summer
owing, in part, to comments made in late August where he said was unaware of a
Vladimir Lenin statue that exists on the lower east side of Manhattan.
“There’s a statue of
Vladimir Lenin? That’s news to me. First, I in all my days here in New York
City, I have never heard of there being a statue of Vladimir Lenin on the lower
east side. It may be true. I’ve literally never heard of that in my life.
Anyone heard of that before? That’s a new one.”
