Is Jeff Dunham writing Mayor Bloomturd jokes now?!?

[miss bee]

what a great gift idear.

[Phils Phan]

Congratulations, Bloomberg. You just made the list.

("Throw the poo. Let's go.")

[doubleh]

Like I said elsewhere, don't you think if Bloomberg could get a crystal ball, he couldn't find better uses for it? Like, preventing your city from being bombed by terrorists for instance? Who really cares what an athlete says in the grand scheme of things?

[phillyfan412]

Surprised the billionaire knows who Jimmy Rollins is. Anyway, anyone who hates the Yankees as much as I do will enjoy Deadspin's article "F*ck your parade, Yankees". I highly recommend it.

[MarkH]

Tough words from a guy who just barely won re-election. I wonder if his crystal ball saw that coming.

[Ben E]

What the hell is with that stage? I thought Inauguration Day was last January?

Gimme the makeshift stage and folding chairs in the middle of CBP with Harry K, Chase Fucking Utley and 45,000 fans any day.

"Like, preventing your city from being bombed by terrorists for instance? Who really cares what an athlete says in the grand scheme of things?"

best two consecutive sentences on this blog in a while. so deep and so complex my head could explode.

[ZJ]

i bet the city smelled like leather jackets, hair grease, and bagels.

@ ZJ

as long as one New Yorker woke up, it's guaranteed

[Zack]

man...did it take him 3 terms to write that one?

[PhilsPhan]

I haven't watched much of the Yankees post-win interviews/speeches etc. But a lot of people I've talked to said they haven't heard any praise for the Phillies from any of the players or Girardi. ie: "The Phillies were a great team, they were tough to beat, etc." Is this true? If so, I'm not surprised.

[doubleh]

PhilsPhan: I heard Mariano Rivera had nice things to say, but that's about it. What do you expect? With the Yankees, the opponent is an afterthought. Victory is assumed. It comes from the top of the organization down to the players. This is why everyone despises them.

[KMack]

Hey, imagine that. Some billionaire jerkoff who bought his election introducing a zillionaire team that bought a title.

[will.H]

hes bitter because rudy still gets a better seat at yankee stadium.

fine by me though, poke jimmy rollins. he'll come back next year twice as motivated.

[Ryan]

@ DoubleH

You're a fucking idiot. That's pretty much all that needs to be said.

[Kevin]

Wow, what is their mayor doing taking shots at the losing team. That just goes to show what jerkoffs all New Yorkers are.

[doubleh]

@Ryan: And your retort is brilliant. Come up with something original. I assume you're a NY fan?

[will.H]

ryan, care to explain yourself, you bold annonymous guy

[doubleh]

BTW, my post about terrorists isn't meant to be insensitive; it's meant to put sports into perspective. That is to say, if you were able to obtain such as thing as a crystal ball, wouldn't you use it for better things than to predict WS victories? I am not saying NYC deserved to be attacked or supporting terrorists in any way. Geesus, some people are so touchy.

[JoeB]

Yeah I live in NY, yeah Bloomberg is wealthy, but comedy is clearly not his forte. But the author sounds a little, I don't know, if "crybaby" is quite the right word. I mean, He is always singing Rollins praises as Nostradamus. rollins did predict Phils in 5, so....if the show fits, wear it.

[JoeB]

*shoe*

[Brad]

I thought it was funny, give the guy a break. Jimmy said something, didn't back it up and now people are going to call him out. Tough break...I think I hear the Wahhh-bulance in the distance.

[nasir]

Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom.

[Briwilly]

waahhhhhhhh!!!!!wahhhhhh!!!
nothing but crybabies on here. Rollins ran his mouth and didnt back it up. can you imagine if a yankee made a prediction and it didnt happen?

[MPR529]

if a-rod made a prediction of Yanks in 5 and the Phils won and then Nutter said the same thing, you'd all think it was hysterical.

[pilgrim]

@doubleh

I'll explain Ryan for you, since I think he and I are on the same page. You wrote "don't you think if Bloomberg could get a crystal ball..." in an attempt to produce a legitimate criticism of someone. That makes you an idiot.

[JB]

That WAS a great gift idear.

Being from Jersey, I have to hear every jerkoff tell me I'm supposed to say "Joisey" when I go on vacation, so can everyone please start to rip on the New York assholes who add an R to the end of every word that ends with a vowel? Like it's not bad enough that I have to hear Francessa say "Jobber Chamberlain" when I can't get Philly sports radio?

[Mike]

You philthy sore losers can line up and kiss the 27 rings, whining about payroll and this and that, where was your incessant whing when you deadbeats were chanting "fu*k new york" and "yankees suck" before we had even finished with the angels. well like they say be careful what you wish for. we ain't the mets people. and as for your inept team, 2 championships since 1883 is a real feat. do you idiots realize the oakland a's have more championhips in philly than your sad philthies do? and they left town in 1954.

YANKEES 27 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS -- SUCK IT B*TCHES!!!!!!!!!
