There’s nothing much better than a self-appointed demigod being exposed as a hypocritical fraud. A major example can be see, for instance, when a supposed champion of the underprivileged plays golf at swank resorts between daily speeches excoriating the rich and successful.

 

And now we have another one in the City of New York.

 

Three days ago, according to the Associated Press via Fox News on-line, newly elected mayor, Bill de Blasio, “released his "Vision Zero" traffic safety plan which aims to eliminate all traffic fatalities. The plan proposed reducing the citywide speed limit to 25 mph, detailing more NYPD officers to enforce speeding violations and toughening penalties for speeding drivers.”

 

On Tuesday, he told reporters at a press conference that, "We hope that every time someone reads one of your stories, they're also asking themselves the question, are they handling their vehicle as responsibly as they could? 

 

The likelihood of a fatal crash and this statistic is very powerful. The likelihood of a fatal crash drops significantly for speeds below 30 mph. If we get those speeds down, it will be the difference between losing a life and saving a life."

 

And then yesterday, only two days later, “De Blasio was in the front passenger seat of the lead SUV of a two-vehicle caravan that was captured on video speeding, running through a pair of stop signs and not signaling when changing lanes. The footage, which aired on WCBS-TV, was taken as de Blasio returned to City Hall after a news conference in Queens.”

 

When asked, “The mayor's press office deferred to the police department for particulars of the incident because a member of the NYPD was behind the wheel of de Blasio's SUV.”

 

Some of the details include the following:

 

“The two bulky, black vehicles did not stop at two stop signs in the neighborhood. Later, the CBS camera — which was in a car that followed the mayor's motorcade — showed de Blasio going 40 mph in an area where the speed limit was 30 mph, and then nearly 60 mph in a 45 mph zone.

 

The SUVs were also shown changing lanes without using their directional signals. The total number of violations witnessed by the news crew would yield a suspended license, according to the CBS report.”

 

Consequently, here we have a typical Liberal who knows for certain what’s best for all. So much so that when given the chance he’ll impose his purported beliefs on everyone else. Yet, when it comes to himself, he’s above it all and does precisely what he likes, regardless. 

 

But at least the rest of the nation’s safe where today's subject’s is involved. Because, since golf carts simply can’t go that fast it likely won’t occur to the incumbent to reduce the vehicle speeds on the roads.

 

That’s it for today folks.
