Warning: Strong Language

On February 14th, 1990 for Michael Bloomberg’s 48th birthday, staffers at Bloomberg L.P celebrated their boss’ most famous offensive quips and anecdotes by creating a pamphlet and presenting him with a leather-bound copy. Some of the quotes are anti-female, anti-faith, and someone who looks down upon people who aren’t like him. Called The Portable Bloomberg: The Wit and Wisdom of Michael Bloomberg, it was edited by Bloomberg L.P.’s chief marketing officer Elisabeth DeMarse. Some of the tidbits in the pamphlet include:

The only liberal I trust is a rich old liberal. Why? Because they’re old enough to understand what they’re saying, and they’re rich enough to pay for what they say! If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale’s. The three biggest lies are: The check’s in the mail, I’ll respect you in the morning, and I’m glad that I’m Jewish. If Jesus was a Jew, why does he have a Puerto Rican first name?

At the beginning of the book DeMarse wrote “Editor’s Note” that reads, “Yes, these are all actual quotes. No, nothing had been embellished or exaggerated. And yes, some things were too outrageous to include. When I joined BLOOMBERG Financial Markets, I wondered if I had inadvertently joined a religious sect, such was the dedication of the employees to its founder, and their enthusiasm for the company. Today, I’m a convert. And when we rent Madison Square Garden for mass nuptials, I’ll be there.”

Michael Wolff interviewed Ms. DeMarse in 2001 for New York Magazine:

If every candidate faced the kind of scrutiny they’ve given Trump, it will be clear that Trump towers over them all.

DeMarse is lucky she worked for Bloomberg. Hillary would have disappeared her years ago.

You mean he is an arrogant little prick?

Color me shocked.

I wonder what states he wouldn’t go to. That will be a popular question!

This little jerk wants to control what kind of soda you drink. What do you think he’s say about a large truck or rifle?

If there is any justice/karma, this should sink the Bloomingidiot's run for POTUS.

Yeah, that’s for sure. Wouldn’t his first name be Puerto?

And everything else. I visited a few liberal websites recently. Bloomberg is gaining traction with those folks, no doubt about it. A lot of comments there are like this: I prefer Warren (or whomever). But I’m voting for Bloomberg in the primary because he’s got the best chance to beat Trump.

The only exception to that are the BernieBots. For them, it’s Bernie or bust.

These are all jokes.

It shows how far we have devolved in our culture, that they are considered to be toxic today.

It works for us, but it is a poor state of affairs for society.

Some of them do show a pathology, a believe in zero sum games as reality.

Much of leftist thought is based on that ideology.

Yes. Bloomberg is going to buy the nomination from right under the old Bolshevik. I would encourage the BernieBots to not take this lying down.

Rage against the system! Rage against the DNC!

Imagine if there was such a book for Trump, though.

Ok, that one’s pretty funny.
