Biggest laugh or should I say insincere moment -- when deputy mayor Stephen Goldsmith said "we don't hire buddies any more."
That is the biggest joke from City Hall to Albany to The White House where that is all they hire and even the interns are buddies' children.
Second biggest laugh -- deputy Stephen Goldsmith being introduced as Jane Jacobs. Go to YouTube and search "Christine Quinn Jane Jacobs" and find my protest of Christine Quinn at the Jane Jacobs street naming where Quinn is compared to Jane Jacobs but CHRISTINE QUINN GETS KICKBACKS AKA CAMPAIGN DONATIONS FROM DEVELOPERS.
I am sure at some event I have not been invited to that Mike Bloomberg and the worse city planner ever socialite megamillionaire Amanda the peoples' Burden are being introduced as Jane Jacobs. Jane Jacobs has to be turning over in her grave.
