This is not a photoshop

From the NY Post:

During the show, the mayor looked right at home in a groovy get-up of long, flowing locks, a headband, suede moccasins and custom-made bell-bottom jeans.

He was festooned with funky patches, each symbolizing a city agency.

Bloomberg entered the stage on a cardboard Volkswagen bus and sang along to several reworked classics from the original Broadway show "Hair."

The musical's title tune was changed to "Times Square," a song about the pedestrian plaza created there, and "Aquarius" became "Mike-quarius."

In a song called "Good Morning Papers," Bloomberg sang about the "punch of The Post."

At one point, "Berg" is asked what he'll run for after he leaves City Hall.

"Public advocate?" someone suggests. "It'd have to be a real job," he joked.


Photo from the Daily News, which offers this:

...the peacenik leader, true to his radical spirit, announced a new initiative for the city: "Bette Midler will help us plant one million pot plants in the next 10 years."

With a little hair spray, he'd resemble Phil Spector.

That is a funny picture of the mayor. If only he could be that way all the time.

First Anonymous, he reminded me of Phil Spector right away. Look at the resemblance, also in terms of respect for the law!!

so now he's taking roles American actors "won't do?" How did he get cast except by force?

Well, at least he didn't get nekkid.

Or did he?

What an asshole! He'd do anything for publicity. Every now and then he likes to pretend he is one of us. Ha Ha. Looks like he was smoking something. Maybe he really is and that's why he's such an inept mayor.

Well, Giuliani liked to dress up like a lady more often than was strictly normal, so this is one giant WHATEVER.

He would'nt dress up like a woman like our other mayors, because he likes tyo do that in private.....

Queens Crapper said...

Ridgewoodian claiming to know what "normal" is. Now that's hilarious.

Giuliani played this role numerous times, my brother worked in his administration and I attended one of those "inner circle jerk" shows.

People forget what a genuine mess heir Giuliani's personal life was during his last two years in office.

At least Bloombag is sort-of open about it.

Bloomberg was ushering in the "Age of A-Queer-I-Us"!

I'm surprised he didn't say that he'll never leave City Hall. I'm sure that's what he thinks.
