So Mayor Bloomberg proves once again that he may be the dumbest rich man in the world. First, on Monday he speculated on who might be behind the Time Square car bomb. His speculation, which is purely speculative, of course! – was assisted by our nation’s elf, Katie Couric:
Bloomberg: If I had to guess 25 cents, this would be exactly that. Somebody….
Couric: A homegrown….
Bloomberg: A homegrown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.
Yep, those folks are so angry at health care reform, that they’re setting off car bombs, left and right. You know, when they’re not running hardware stores, cheating at Scrabble with their neighbors, or playing with their grandkids.
Anyway, if you thought he couldn’t get any dumber, well, you’re wrong, people who thought he couldn’t get any dumber.
Yep, only hours after the arrest of – not a tea partier – but a Pakistani terrorist, Bloomy takes pains to calm our biggest concerns: the threat of backlash against Pakistani or Muslim people.
It was precisely what I was worried about!
“The fact that so many people are out and about in Times Square today, where I just came from, really shows that, and I want to make clear that we will not tolerate any bias or backlash against Pakistani or Muslim New Yorkers.”
God help me.
Look, I get why he said this. He said this, so he can say that he said this.
But look, the threat of backlash is one of the most exaggerated ideas known to modern culture. The mention of backlash, in my mind, must outnumber the actual incidents of backlash by about 3,000 to one. Remember all that 9/11 backlash around Manhattan? Yeah, neither do I.
Seriously, I wish I knew what experiences Bloomy bases his conclusions on. It’s infuriating to see breath and effort wasted on this PC drivel, when it should be focused only on a condemnation of cretins who want to kill all of us. Worse, it’s insulting to ALL OF US, Pakistani’s included.
First Bloomy suggests the car bomber is an American wacko, then he assumes Americans may start lynching innocent folks. Dang – how can a man who has done so well in this country, think our country sucks so bad? He loves running our lives, even as he hates those who live them.
And if you disagree with me, you’re a racist homophobe backlasher.
