Bloomberg forgot he lied

From the Daily News:

In a stunning reversal of a third-term campaign promise, Mayor Bloomberg today answered a reporter's question about his favorite vegetable with a one-word answer: "Steak."

"I like most vegetables. I'm not big on a handful of them," he told reporters, as transcribed by the DN's faithful Frank Lombardi. "But I love steak."

Before he was elected to his third term, Bloomberg told a crowd at the Union Square Greenmarket that his favorite vegetable was really iceberg lettuce -- Celeste Katz's video proof is below. A few weeks later he described himself as "an iceberg lettuce guy," dissing the White House state dinner that featured a vegetarian menu and an arugula salad from First Lady Michelle Obama's garden.

He is now being honest. He is so not environmentally sound-minded with his private jet to Bermuda to meet his toyboys. He does love his steak. He gives shit about the planet. and stupid Al Gore came over to support bloomberg even thought he didn't endorsed him but stated Bloomberg did a lot for the green movement. Bloomberg did shit for this city much less this planet. but we have stupid dumbass people who voted for this madoff.

This was a pointless post... which I am responding to with a pointless comment.

But iceberg lettuce, really? There are so many more interesting and tasty vegetables out there. Iceberg lettuce has its place, but really, snore.

Avid reader but a first time poster. I think this is a great article because it is just really funny.

I remember him saying on NY1 "I know it's not fashionable... But, Im an iceburg Lettuce kind of guy..." or something like that.

Of course he lied. Everyone knew he was lying then. I just think it is important to point it out whenever he does lie no matter how significant.

The funny thing was that it was such a bad lie!

Iceberg lettuce? I mean, come on...
