New York Magazine found confirmation, in the recent New Yorker interview with Michael Bloomberg, of the fact that Mayor Bloomberg is "kind of a bitch".In addition to the now-famous incidents where Bloomberg called a reporter a "disgrace" for asking about term limits and hissed at a handicapped journalist who couldn't turn off his tape recorder fast enough, the article cites the following example of the Bloomberg 'tude:
Q: Mayor, can you respond to Anthony Weiner's criticisms of you this morning?
A: I didn't hear what Anthony Weiner said, so it's kind of hard to respond...
Q: If I could just read you a quote that he said this morning?
A: I just said that I didn't hear him, and I'm not going to respond, so if you want to waste your question, you've just done it ...
Q: Would you like us to read what he said?
A: I don't have any interest in reading. I've got enough things to read...
Q: We would read it to you...
A: ...Well, that would show that you could read.
