Deputy Mayor Not Too Thrilled His Boss Is "Papa Smurf"

Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey (who also spent last year working on Bloomberg's possible presidential run) isn't that happy with The New Yorker's revelation that young mayors like Newark's Cory Booker and DC's Adrian Fenty apparently call Mayor Bloomberg "Papa Smurf." He Tweeted, "Mayors, can we go w/ @mikebloomberg as Obi Wan?" (and linked to a Washington City Paper post about what Smurf persona fit Fenty best). Clearly Star Wars is big in the Bloomberg administration—Deputy Mayor Ed Sklyer is a huge fan, too! However, @mikebloomberg himself has not commented on the Papa Smurf nickname. [Via PolitickerNY]

When you structure your money laundering, you're smurfing, not "Obi Wan Kenobiing".

"young mayors like Newark's Cory Booker and DC's Adrian Fenty apparently call Mayor Bloomberg "Papa Smurf."

Talk about two losers running two cities that are on the top of the world when it comes to crime statistics.

Newark is so rich with thugs that they have an export system that poisons a multitude of cities within a hundred miles of the young mayor's jurisdiction.

Washington? Who are you trying to kid? That is one big shit hole and it's obvious what idiots live there considering when they re-elected Marion Barry. "He be colored and one of us so lets re-elect him. My sons and all my relatives were with him in prison and they say he behaved himself real gentlemanly like." Now they gots dem a younger stunad.

I agree. Anyone running garbage dumps like Newark and DC isn't in much of a position to criticize anyone else.

I thought the same thing. I fully expect lightning to fly from his fingertips at the next "impertinent" question from a reporter.
