Undignified Ways to Govern: NYC Mayoral Edition
**Written by Doug Powers
Is this some kind of No Labels hazing ritual gone horribly awry or something?

If you can handle it, the Daily Mail has a full-size pic along with the back story here. I don’t know about you, but I need some salty snacks, a smoke and a beer with no ice after enduring that.
Here’s Spider Mike in action:
Word is that actual spiders in the building ran for the exits out of sheer embarrassment.

Smoke? I think I need my eyes flushed…. What was he saying in the photo with two fingers up on each extended arm, “I am not a crook?”
This is a man who wants to be President…
Looks like he wants to help The Usurper find whose ass to kick.
Who is Captain Kickass??
Doug, I am worried that your prolonged exposure to this article could have some damaging effects. You might want to get checked out…..quickly.
My God, this is an embarrassment, but at least what has been seen, cannot be unseen. In other words, I take it that this is Bloomberg’s subtle statement to the world that he will not be running for president. Ever.
Looks like he Dukakised in his pants.
We need some new elites asap. The current ones are an unmitigated disaster. Or perhaps elitism should be redefined to exclude simply having lots of money or having gone to Ivy League schools, cuz those Ivy Leaguers sure have been f’n things up for a while now.
From your keyboard to God’s monitor.
At least he didn’t put on a dress or fishnet stockings like Giuliani.
Must be something in the water.
Oh THANK YOU Loyalist……. I just cleaned my keyboard and monitor screen today and you post this………..
Now, if you really want to find an insect that Bloomberg emulates, try the sewer roach.
It’s power? The ability to make people gag and run from the room.
Wait a minute…just got a communique from some nearby roaches. They said they can take the insecticides, the roach motels and even my size 12 foot, but comparing them to Bloomberg is cruel…just plain cruel.
spiderman, i was thinking trans-fat salt man, to the rescue. sir, put down the salt shaker, and move away from the twinkees.

Looks like the wind must be blowing some of that “better living through chemistry” smoke from Greenwich Village up to the Mayor’s office!

Just backs up my observation that there are really a lot of clueless clowns in politics. And that belt may make him start singing “soprano” if the supporting cable snags on the way down.

This was definitely NOT the image I needed to see before going to sleep.
Yea. Rudy was better.
Bloomberg’s insane megalomania makes me long for the days of David Dinkins.
And as a lifelong New Yorker, I almost threw up a little in my mouth just writing that.
Then again, who will we get to replace Bloom-turd;
ANTHONY WEINER?!
Looks like Bloom(ing idiot)berg wants to give Howard Stern a run for his money.
As the video was running out, Bloomie, for some unfathomable reason, started to intone, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
Who else would have come up with such an inappropriate caption for such an infantile stunt?
No, not even Dukakis….
One flew over the freakin’ cucoo birds’ nest! Put this guy back on thorazine.
What electorate voted him into office?
That would be the “thrill up the leg” crowd. Are we doomed?
yes.
I see that the “Spiderman curse” continues…
Madness of King George.
Isn’t he a few days early for “April Fools’ Day”?
Spiderman Mike: I really like it when they cinch that harness real tight around my wobbly bits!
Spiderman Mike: Wait’ll Kirsten Dunst sees me in this, she’ll be all over me like a cheap suit!
J. Jonah Jameson: If we can get a picture of Julia Roberts in a thong, we can certainly get a picture of this weirdo.
Those were some dark, dark days. But at least you could light up a cigarette while enjoying your adult beverage.
Ring Announcer: What’s your name kid?
Peter Parker: The Human Spider.
Ring Announcer: The Human Spider? That’s it? That’s the best you’ve got?
Peter Parker: Yeah.
Ring Announcer: Oh that sucks.
Just what I was thinking when looking at that picture (before my eyes began watering).
I can see a nice couple at a restaurant, their plates before them, the odor of finely-cooked food wafting up. The man reaches for the salt shaker…when…
thwipp!
Transfat man, transfat man
Does whatever a liberal can
Can he lie? Listen bub
Don’t try to put seasoning on your grub
Hey there, there goes the transfat man!
(Spiderman Mike sees a man in a restruant about to use a salt shaker)
Thwipp! (a gob of stickyness hits the man’s hand)
Man: What the..?
Spiderman Mike: Put down that shaker sir, it’s for your own good!
Man: What the heck is that stuff you just threw at me?!
Spiderman Mike: That’s from my web suirter.
Man:(Standing up and rolling up sleeves) The @#$% it is!
Spiderman Mike: Uh oh! My Spidey sense is tingling!
At least “Tanker” Mike Dukakis was out with the troops when he made is appearance “faux pas”.
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Ladies and gentleman, it’s a really bad smell. It’s Fartman!

that dude looks afflicted.
Insanity imitates life.
This is off topic, but a Somali terror suspect who plead guilty to his role in providing support for a terrorist group in Somalia (he was one of the young men from Minneapolis that went to Somalia to try his hand at being a terrorist) is asking a Federal judge to release him until he is sentenced. What is worse is this line from the story:
So we are now releasing terror supsect while they await trail. Oh but don’t worry cause the DOJ is supervising them. I feel soooooooooooo much better knowing that…./sarc
I’m thinking a large ivory bowl of pate fois gras and some hand-squeezed Beluga caviar served with authentic koran napkins.
And here I thought it was just a publicity stunt for the Spiderman LXXV…

Thanks everyone!! Thanks to Doug for posting this and thanks to all of you for your amazing sense of humor!!! You are the best group of posters on the internet! The intelligence and quick wit evidenced here is priceless. I believe that Mayor Bloomberg must have a sense of humor too. There is no way he would do this unless he was a bit self-deprecating and willing to look stupid. Would egotistical Obama EVER do this? No, Teh One must maintain the image of his deity status. So, even though we have had a few ROTFLMAO moments this a.m. at Bloomberg’s expense, I want to thank him for his contribution to making my day bright and sunny!!
RedDog–I just knew you were as bourgeois as I!
I don’t think he’s bloomin’ anymore.
Well that IS New York City isn’t it? Yes indeed this is the city that has solved all it’s problems and now sends agents all over the land to solve other cities problems.
Cross dressing does seem to be a mayoral tradition there. Fly swatters work on spiders and mayors too.

An Armed Society is a polite society.
Happyscrapper – you mean Obambi wearing mama’s pants was not a costume?

Pffftt, although said in jest, I think there’s an element ( like all good comedy ) of truth there? Mike, there’s better ways to exhibit your “you still got it” moment. As noted above, you’d think he’d have learned from Howard?
I figured someone in PR told him that if he did this he would seem like one of the average Joes and not an elite.
Saving New York from trans fats and excessive salt!
You expect dignity from a politician? Hahahahaha.
When I saw that picture I figured that he had raided Michelle O’s closet and got caught trying them on, so he hoped on Sasha’s bike for the getaway!
I wouldn’t mind seeing “Macho Man” Randy Savage show up and chase Mayor Spidey around with a chair.
Yeah, and these are the guys telling America that WE are crazy.
I think Obama wore those Mom jeans because his handlers told him he looked “awesome, dude”!! Just like everything else, no one wanted to tell him the truth for fear of their jobs! Either that, or Lady Michelle O picked them out for him with her “amazing fashion sense”!
Has anyone else noticed that a search for images of that picture yields a lot of “more normal” biking pictures? I think they are trying to cover it up.
I went to one site that had Obama on a normal bike looking like a normal person, and basically saying “There’s nothing wrong with this picture!”, when that was obviously not the picture that started the story.
Every time something really bad happens at the circus, like someone falls from the trapeze, they send in the clowns. Helps the parents calm the children down.
Nah, He didn’t look a thing like Jackie Kennedy.
Go back to MM’s front page. Doesn’t it look like A. Weiner is yelling at Bloomberg?
LOL! GOOD ONE!!!
Attention to Colors!

LOL…Weiner: “Damn you Bloomberg I want my costume back today!”
Good one!!
He’s singing, “Up in the air junior Birdman, up in the air upside down…”
This is the guy who wanted to be mayor for life, because he’s, uh, “special”…
Yeah, special…like in “lifetime pass on the short bus” special?
Did anyone else notice the registered trademark “R” just above the belt line below the circled NYC?

HI TRUE_SOLDIER–#38. Good catch on the terrorist “suspects” being released from the hoosegow while waiting for trial. What could possibly go wrong? They probably did promise not to do any Jihadi tricks or to flee the country.

It would just be racist to not cut them all the slack possible. Like our Secretary of the Department of (not much) Homeland Security Janet Clownitano said, “The System Worked!”. You just couldn’t make this stuff up. We’re in great hands with Comrade Obama (PBUH) and company.

Is this his second childhood or a senior moment? Most people would buy a sports car instead.
We could call him “spandex man”.
At his age, wouldn’t “Depends Man” be more appropriate?
This photo of Mayor Bloomberg recalls famed British Olympic ski jumper Eddie the Eagle.
Yeah, but Eddie’s vision is much clearer.
This is the left’s idea of humor….yeah, right. This is the right’s idea of a jerk becoming an even BIGGER JERK.
Please, send in the clowns.
There have to be clowns.
I prefer the NRA’s Eddie Eagle
If he’s supposed to be Spiderman, who’s bringing the can of RAID?
