Example: pho- NET- ic. In a later email with the completely unremarkable subject line “Guys, I’m fed up..”, de Blasio asked staff to please, for the love of god, just help him out with his Spanish like he asked a million times before: I have raised the problem of inconsistency in providing phonetic pronunciation and in providing clearly delineated Spanish (with emphasis on the proper syllable) many, many times. And yet between all of you, you haven’t fix . One “City Hall source,” who is definitely not just some random disgruntled conservative, told the Post, “He’s condescending and arrogant.
I’ve been in plenty of meetings with him. He’s known to kick staff out of meetings.”These emails were sent in January and February of 2.
Blasio took office, so hopefully the mayor has located someone capable of following simple, written instructions to help him not look like an idiot by now. Because otherwise, de Blasio might need to mildly chastise you, without like, swearing or anything, and then someone might forward one or two of those emails to the Post. Two years later. Of course, this tailor- made- for- idiots email controversy is rich coming from this particular paper, which has published histrionic grievances about everything from lazy millennials, the need to crack down on the homeless, affirmative action, millennials that won’t vote for Donald Trump, CNN, the manifesto- writing Google engineer, construction scaffolding, politicians who don’t ride the subway and politicians who do ride the subway to anyonestandingin. Times. Square. Can you even imagine how angry they’d be at those idiot bureaucrats in City Hall if they were embarrassing a Republican mayor?
What a story that would be. Also, didn’t the Post think leaking internal government documents was treason or something?
