The Blathering Bastard Politicians of New York City
By
David Gottfried
The airwaves of New York City are in a lather as politicos endlessly blather.
A mayoral election is upon us, and in addition to electing a mayor, New Yorkers will select countless factotums and feckless afficionados of graft to make what David Dickens stupidly called New York’s “gorgeous mosaic” a motley stew of malfeasance, malpractice and malevolence.
Of course, now the voters are offered corruption with a liberating difference. The PC police have dumped almost all the white men. Now, we will have the option of selecting from a diverse crew of very diverse candidates, from every racial and ethnic subdivision on the earth. And almost every one of the goddamn candidates is selling the same song and dance.
They decry the continued existence of white men in public life. They will appoint women and minorities to almost all positions because we all know that all women and minorities are wonderful, including Idi Amin who was a cannibal and Imelda Marcos who robbed the state treasury so she could buy 5000 pairs of shoes. And we all know that white men are always terrible, including Bobby Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and Jesus of Nazareth.
The monochromicity of the political platforms reflects the intellectual vapidity of contemporary “progressive” politics. This sums up the dreary dull politics that envelopes New York City:
Have You Seen the Candidates?
Have you seen the merry fools
When they speak they seem to drool
Their minds are so miniscule
They deserve our ridicule
Of course, they all have been to “school”
Of students culled from a pool
Of Affirmative action braying fools
The mind as doltish as a mule
I know I seem rather cruel
To decry the liberal, leveling rule
But I will slay in a duel
That herd of low IQ gruel
The mind wound tight becomes unspooled
As laxity, lethargy become so cool
With ideas as bright as a fetid stool
They are contemptable gangsta ghouls
