"Bloomberg gets heckled and shouted down by crowd in Harlem."
He's lucky all he walked away with was a heckling. I've seen people lobbing used diapers at politicians who talk a mile of trash.
He wasn't too popular at BAM either.
I'm going to give Bloomberg some credit. The reality is that people like him have been running this city for some time, but they've not been going to events in Harlem to get heckled about it. Their puppet politicians were doing that instead. In 2001 it became important that a member of the overclass himself was seen as visibly taking charge, and I've always been curious about the reasons for that change.
