Santa Bloomberg
Coming in under the shadow of Giuliani’s magnificent final months, Mayor Bloomberg shied away from publicity stunts and pointless press conferences for the first year of his administration. He seems to be enough in the groove of things at this point, however, that he’s starting to ham it up a bit for the press of late. Christmas was a case in point. I’m just assuming from the name that he’s Jewish, which makes it just that much sillier that he delivered cookies to firemen and policemen yesterday, along with his unused “strike bike” (which he bought when transit workers were threatening an averted walk-off) to a kid in Brooklyn with diabetes (NY Daily News). Isn’t that sweet? The Daily News headline, however, should have read “Mike Gives Strike Bike to Tyke.”
