The FDR bible used by Mayor Bill de Blasio for his swearing in vanished after the New Year’s Day ceremony, sparking a panicked, hours-long search for the historic tome.

“They had the whole detail looking through blankets,’’ a police source said of the scramble by at least 50 NYPD detectives and city officials to find the Bible, which was given to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as a gift at his first inauguration in March 1933.

Former President Bill Clinton performed the ceremony Wednesday as de Blasio laid his hand on the bible.

When it was found, just before 5 pm, one of the detectives held it aloft at the top of the stairs in the rotunda, shouting, “We found it!’’ as a crowd broke out in applause.

Leftists searching for the Word of God. Could be a first.

He’s lucky that lightning didn’t strike when he held it up.

OY, they’re off to a great start.

[Flintlock]

Betcha this is a mere fortaste of things to come.

[Cicero]

I’m afraid that FDR means more to them than God.

[headstamp 2]

I’m amazed he was even sworn in like this.

Look for other things to disappear during his tenure.

Did they look in the mayor’s son’s hairdo?

"as de Blasio laid his hand on the bible."

I'm surprised his hand didn't instantly burst into flames and his tongue come flying out of his mouth.

[cripplecreek]

Lets just hope they actually did find it.

[yldstrk]

Bill took it?

On your mark NYC, get set, and off you go!

So ole BJ has performed the marriage of Huma and Weenie, and now he’s swearing in the Commie mayor.

I’m surprised he wasn’t on that float at the Rose Bowl doing the honors for Aubrey and Danny.

And what did they find him doing with it?

[xrmusn]

Seeing as Wee Willie was the Officiant, it is probably safe to assume that Hillary was there SO she actually found it, much the same as she found the Rose Law Firm Files in the White House.

She definitely qualifies to transport by broom - though the weight may be a problem.

[PhiloBedo]

He probably tried and didn’t want to get caught. Was Hill there?

[Baynative]

I don’t get it. Why use a bible to swear in a communist?

[Bogey78O]

Was it a Christian Bible owned by FDR or was it FDR’s Bible (Communist Manifesto)?

[Venturer]

If they had asked him, he would have been there.

[nascarnation]

I bet you’re right, that would have pretty much been the perfect liberal circus.

The Jackson 5 called, they want their afro back! Hey, they make fun of Sarah Palin's kids, it's open season now.
