F*** You, Bloomberg!: Curtis Sliwa Chugs Salt

He came for our cigarettes, he came for our sugar, but Bloomberg's new National Salt Reduction Initiative has got New Yorkers pissed. During NY1's "Political Rundown" last night, Guardian Angel Curtis Sliwa and co-host Gerson Borrero locked horns over the issue, which resulted in Sliwa pouring Morton's down his throat and declaring "You're gonna have to pry this salt out of my cold, dead hand." He keeps it in his mouth for at least a minute before most likely spitting it out, but either way, he's still alive. Watch the full video here. The salt clip starts around 9:10, complete with "nazi" accusations and Sliwa confusing Borrero for a Mexican.

Looks like NY1 took down the clip. It wouldn't surprise me if a phone call was placed.

I hate BLOOMBERG. Every policy he implements is done either to fatten his pockets, his corporate developers or bankers' pockets or a petty attempt at improving his image, never to actually benefit the people.

He's giving John Gotti Jr. ideas...

Ah Curtis Sliwa: is there any trivial issue that you cannot make even less important by your mere presence?

i remember the GA.

curtis sliwa was always a press hungry publicity hound,

if you rode the trains in the 80's like i did (sorry ohio transplants)

the GA people were really just another gang, picking on crackheads and making white people in suits feel safe.

they always ran around in gangs and had a camera crew or new reporter with them. i dont think they made any arrests other than opportune petty QOL captures, which usually ended up making the cops hate them for the increased paperwork. the GA also carried knifes, billyclubs, and blackjacks secreted, if seen them use them and i wouldnt trust them they are just another ganag, remember the fake mugging flesh shooting hit...hahaha...curtis is a bozo, but hes my favorite bozo and i aspire to be just like him and anybody else on TV getting paid for being a liar.

didnt that black-irish dude mr. wifey mcbeaty host it?

Dear NY1,

I stop watching the political rundown because it is a joke. Not only are Silwa's views on Guiiani, Hilary etc stupid but his burger king hats, his swine flu pig and other props makes the show a joke. Seriously, this is political rundown. Silwa makes Cramer look professional. seriously.

Thank you

From the previous post on this matter, "Unlike Bloomberg's controversial calorie count law, the plan is voluntary for food companies and involves no legislation."

He comes up with an idea to get people healthier and isn't ramming it down everyone's throat. So who gives a shit?
