Michael Bloomberg Not Told About Obama’s Secret ‘Other’ 9/11

Remember when Barack Obama made 9/11 happen again with one of his “backup” Air Force Ones, just so a few schmucks could get tourist snapshots of such famous New York sights as the Muslim president crashing into the Statue of Liberty? Well no one even told Michael Bloomberg, the mayoral sprite of New York City, and he is furious! “Furious!” Barack Obama is the worst president in American history. [Clusterstock]

    “Why, that meshuggah schvartze…!”

    “mayoral sprite” — win! He can barely see over the podium.

  3. problemwithcaring says at 3:12 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Someone wants to use the Trade Centers and 9/11 as a photo-op?? How dare he - knowing full well that the GOP secured the copyrights to all such imagery in ‘03…

  4. Czn939 says at 3:13 pm, April 27th, 2009

    G, Mr. B. Y so srs?

  5. Hooray For Anything says at 3:13 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Obviously, Bloomberg would have been able to know about it if the government didn’t tie his hands and make it illegal for him to waterboard somebody.

  6. proudgrampa says at 3:14 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Oh, Mayor, put a sock in it. The Federal Government OWNS THE AIRSPACE - not you!

  7. x111e7thst says at 3:16 pm, April 27th, 2009

    What is it w/ NYC mayors. By the time they get to (in this case approach) their third term they just can’t suck enough.

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 3:19 pm, April 27th, 2009

    No one could have anticipated that Air Force One would be used as a photo op.

  9. bitchincamaro says at 3:19 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Fuck it. As long as Mr. Blifil was briefed on it, I’m good with it.

  10. chascates says at 3:20 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Waiting on condemnation from Eternal Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

  11. Czn939 says at 3:20 pm, April 27th, 2009

    And for Haruhi’s sake, Wonkette. Take away that “Triple Cross” ad!
    Why do you insist on dashing my hopes!?

  12. thebaker says at 3:21 pm, April 27th, 2009

    golfing, buzzing NYC….stop distracting us, Mr President. There’s a goldarn pandemic goin’on. we’re trying to panic and you’re makin’ us laff.

  13. ManchuCandidate says at 3:22 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Maverick Obama: This is Ghost Rider requesting a fly-by.
    Bloomberg: Negative. The pattern is full.
    Goose Biden: No, Mav. This is not a good idea.
    Maverick Obama: Sorry, but it’s time to buzz the Statue of Liberty.

    Air Force One does a low level high speed pass that spill’s Bloomberg’s coffee onto Bloomberg’s shirt.

    Bloomberg: Goddamn son of a bitch!

  14. You want some cheese to go with that whine, Mr. Mayor?

  15. randomsausage says at 3:24 pm, April 27th, 2009

    If they’d landed it in the Hudson, Bloomberg would have been ok with it though.

  16. WagTehGod says at 3:25 pm, April 27th, 2009
  17. jagorev says at 3:26 pm, April 27th, 2009

    chascates: Mayor for Life Ed Koch is said to be very disappointed about this whole affair.

  18. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:31 pm, April 27th, 2009

    It totally defies imagination why anyone would want to use NYC as a photo op background.

  19. PerhapsSo says at 3:31 pm, April 27th, 2009

    The ad on this site wants me to order my STD panel today. It checks against six major STDs, and I can get the results in 3-5 days. Thanks for caring about my sexual health, Wonkette!

    Unless…

    Wait, Jim, are you trying to tell me something? But you said you were clean!!!

  20. bitchincamaro says at 3:34 pm, April 27th, 2009

    PerhapsSo: “But you said you were clean!!!” He meant he wasn’t “holding”.

  21. Custerwolf says at 3:35 pm, April 27th, 2009

    V572625694: Actually, the podium is where this asshole stands while he’s lecterin the president.

  22. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:37 pm, April 27th, 2009

    So except for that daily briefing titled “BHO determined to have fly-by photo op in NYC”, Mayor Bloomberg was not apprised of the situation.

    The mayor said the Police Department and someone in his administration – he did not say who – received an e-mail from the Federal Aviation Administration late on Thursday, informing them that there would be “a fly-by for a photo-op, as they described it.”

  23. Custerwolf says at 3:37 pm, April 27th, 2009

    PerhapsSo: I have an easier method. Go out and fuck say about 50 guys (or gals) and see if in about 2-3 weeks (or whatever the incubation period) you get an angry phone call from any of them.

  24. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:38 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Why does Mayor Bloomberg hate the military?

    SayItWithWookies: Not true. In fact, Mayor Bloomberg had a memo last month titled “Department of Defense Determined to Use Air Force One for Publicity Photos in New York City.” Who thought of the children!?!

  25. Custerwolf says at 3:39 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Min: Why is Rudy in the neighborhood?

  26. Lazy Media says at 3:39 pm, April 27th, 2009

    What the hell? Bloomberg didn’t scramble the NYC fighter planes? America is STILL defenseless against the terrorisms.

  27. PerhapsSo says at 3:42 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Well, it is Monday. That was my plan for tonight anyway.

  28. PerhapsSo says at 3:44 pm, April 27th, 2009

    bitchincamaro: Well, now the ad has changed to learning my credit score. At least checking that won’t require antibiotics.

  29. mrpuma2u says at 3:46 pm, April 27th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Danger zone win!!!

  30. Hooray For Anything says at 3:59 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Never forget 4/27

  31. Custerwolf says at 4:02 pm, April 27th, 2009

    “Why the Defense Department wanted to do a photo op right around the site of the World Trade Center catastrophe defies imagination.”

    Wow. Imagination is not your strong point is it Mr.Mayor?

  32. “So except for that daily briefing titled “BHO determined to have fly-by photo op in NYC”, Mayor Bloomberg was not apprised of the situation.”

    No one could have predicted that the White House would choose to hold a photo op near the statue of liberty.

  33. zenferret says at 5:09 pm, April 27th, 2009

    PerhapsSo: Checking my credit score would.

  34. prototype says at 5:40 pm, April 27th, 2009

    I’ll nevah forget 4/27

  35. Good. Anything that pisses off that tool is fine by me.

  36. devilboy says at 5:57 pm, April 27th, 2009

    New Yorkers are so such America hating communist crybabies!

    Did any of them see the planes and say “Oh,boy! Another American hero is going to make some kind of miracle landing in the Hudson again!!!!”

    Nooooooooooooo!

    Where is their faith in the greatness of America? Where is their patriotism?!

    If there’s another 9/11 — or, you know, 4/29 or 8/17 etc or something — it will be totally be the fault of the defeatist New Yorkers.

  37. sarcasticusername says at 6:01 pm, April 27th, 2009

    it’s good to see that the newly re-minted republican mayor, is wasting no time getting on board with the stupid that defines his party.

  38. Would they prefer that Obama use his Magic Carpets?

  39. Crank Tango says at 6:12 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Mayor Bloomberger was more than happy to appear with Subway Hero Dennis Duffy, so maybe a Hudson landing would have been appropriate. or if barry had saved someone by pulling them between the rails as a car passed over their heads. also.

  40. Mr Blifil says at 6:44 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Notice he got snippy by implicating Defense Department, and not Noobama. Somebody gave little Mikee a talking to and a time out before he went before the cameras. Now all he has to worry about are the Rapturist Air Force brass, they don’t cotton too well to billionaire New York Jews.

  41. Dean Booth says at 7:31 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Next week: An unannounced SWAT training exercise at Columbine!

  42. hobospacejunkie says at 9:33 pm, April 27th, 2009

    Secretary of Shoes Condoleeza Rice was pressed repeatedly about an email from the FAA presented to Mayor Bloomberg the Thursday before the photo op, a document that referred to Air Force One, photography and the Statue of Liberty.

    “Had we thought that there was a photo op coming in New York, we would have moved heaven and earth to try and stop it,” Rice told the independent commission investigating the photo op.

    “And I know that there was no single thing that might have prevented that photo op.”

    Rice insisted the email did not give any advance warning of what was to happen.

    “It did not warn of photo ops inside the United States,” Rice said. “It was historical information based on old reporting.”

  43. The only image I need, ever, is the airbrushed crying eagle. Ideally with a little picture of the twin towers in the tear.

    Oh, and I guess Bloomberg is now officially a member of the Republican party again. Good for him & Michael Steele.

  44. Once again, this serves as a wake up call about our need for an enhanced F-22 program. If we had the F-22s, NY would have a defense against airplanes and foreigns who like to fly in them to mingle with the locals. Why has Barak Hussein Nobama canceled Jesus’s F-22 program, costing America jobs and putting us at risk?
