Big campaign donor paid for DeBlasios' costumes

From the Observer:

Mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife Chirlane McCray were decked out in Greek finery at Tuesday’s Gracie Mansion Halloween party, and they didn’t have to pay a single drachma.

The First Couple’s Halloween costumes were paid for by Broadway Stages, a Brooklyn company whose employees donated $25,000 to Mr. de Blasio’s campaign. The outfits were rented from Abracadabra for $350.

Broadway Stages, a film, television and music production facility, was responsible for the mayor appearing on The Good Wife in March.

The company also paid for the costumes of 100 children from city homeless shelters who attended the Gracie monster mash.

No conflict of interest there. Nah...

No shame whatsoever

Originally, I was going to make fun of the costumes Bloomberg wore during his sketches for the annual Inner Circle show. I mean just take a look:



But then I saw the photos of a sketch that made fun of the administration's lack of responsiveness during and after the December 26th snowstorm.

So it appears that the mayor and his butt kissers tried to turn their negligence - which resulted in people's deaths - into cheap laughs. They think it's appropriate to crack jokes about that? And the members of the media laughed? How utterly tasteless.

I have news for you all: IT'S NOT FUNNY, ASSHOLES.
