Various estimates have the past weekend's storm having dumped between 15 and 20 inches of snow on NYC. Now that outrage is flowing as freely as beer at a tailgate party, the estimates are reaching higher. In step the politicos: Mayor Bloomberg finally admitted that the storm was more than a mere inconvenience (to a rich man with a limo what else would it be?), and now other politicians are seen an opportunity to posture and glower.
Criticism of the city’s response to what has been called its sixth-largest storm has been widespread and top-to-bottom, from the man on the street to Christine M. Quinn, the City Council speaker, who announced hearings regarding the cleanup, which she called “unacceptable.”
Hearings? To determine what? For anything more than to allow politicians to appear indignant in front of the cameras?
