From the NY Daily News yesterday:
“But his blunt remarks - seemingly aimed at Republicans who picked up 61 House seats and six Senate spots in the midterm elections - had conservatives calling him an arrogant elitist.
“That’s a very foolish statement. He has no idea who these people are,” said Republican operative Ed Rollins, noting some of the incoming lawmakers are doctors and business people.
“The world is more than just billionaires. Sometimes there is an arrogance on the mayor’s part and this just shows it.”
Staten Island Tea Party founder Frank Santarpia also blasted Bloomberg for portraying lawmakers as provincial illiterates.
“The mayor once again tries to portray people with common core principals as stupid. It’s so indicative of the smug intellectual elitism that defines progressivism,” he said.
Lord Bloomberg resents the idea that common people should have a voice in their government. We should know our place, especially in the presence of the Anointed Ones like hissonor. Right.
