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.
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…
G, Mr. B. Y so srs?
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.
Oh, Mayor, put a sock in it. The Federal Government OWNS THE AIRSPACE - not you!
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.
No one could have anticipated that Air Force One would be used as a photo op.
Fuck it. As long as Mr. Blifil was briefed on it, I’m good with it.
Waiting on condemnation from Eternal Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
And for Haruhi’s sake, Wonkette. Take away that “Triple Cross” ad!
Why do you insist on dashing my hopes!?
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.
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!
You want some cheese to go with that whine, Mr. Mayor?
If they’d landed it in the Hudson, Bloomberg would have been ok with it though.
Hooray For Anything: WIN
chascates: Mayor for Life Ed Koch is said to be very disappointed about this whole affair.
It totally defies imagination why anyone would want to use NYC as a photo op background.
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!!!
PerhapsSo: “But you said you were clean!!!” He meant he wasn’t “holding”.
V572625694: Actually, the podium is where this asshole stands while he’s lecterin the president.
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.”
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.
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!?!
Min: Why is Rudy in the neighborhood?
What the hell? Bloomberg didn’t scramble the NYC fighter planes? America is STILL defenseless against the terrorisms.
Custerwolf: Well, it is Monday. That was my plan for tonight anyway.
bitchincamaro: Well, now the ad has changed to learning my credit score. At least checking that won’t require antibiotics.
ManchuCandidate: Danger zone win!!!
Never forget 4/27
“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?
“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.
PerhapsSo: Checking my credit score would.
I’ll nevah forget 4/27
Good. Anything that pisses off that tool is fine by me.
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.
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.
Would they prefer that Obama use his Magic Carpets?
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.
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.
Next week: An unannounced SWAT training exercise at Columbine!
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.”
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.
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?
