Deutsch: Bloomberg Rich But A 'Man of The People', Unlike Romney
Tough day at the office? In the market for some mood-brightening mirth? Try this for a guaranteed giggle: Donny Deutsch claims that unlike Mitt Romney, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, while also rich, is a "man of the people."
Let's leave aside Bloomberg's massive wealth and a lifestyle that includes multiple mansions around the world and a fleet of personal aircraft. What makes Nanny Mike perhaps the least "man of the people" you'd ever meet is his haughty, condescending view that he knows better than the mere masses what they should eat, drink and smoke, and is willing to use his power to enforce his preferences by government fiat. View the video after the jump.
Watch Deutsch supply an unintentional side-splitter.
DONNY DEUTSCH: Here's the bottom line: there are two kinds of rich guys. There's Mike Bloomberg, who's 20 times, 100 hundred times richer than Mitt Romney, but is a man of the people and then there's a rich guy who's a private equity guy, who won't show his tax returns --
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Who has a car elevator.
DEUTSCH: Who has got a car elevator. Who is playing fudgy, fudgy ball as far as when he was and when he wasn't CEO and that's a rich guy who plays outside the lines that I can't trust. And that's not an electable figure.

This fool is MSNBC's Juan Williams.
Dumb as dirt and willing to prove it every time he opens his mouth.

And the sinking ratings are evidence of that fact. And why wouldn't they sink when the nauseating, smarmy, midget Donni Douche is a regular contributor.. Donni is a man of the people if the people are regulars at a strip club.
RINO Joe is MIA half the time and reporting from secret remote locations the other half. Smugface Mika makes no effort to disguise her partisanship.. They think their show is unique but It's the usual MSNBC clowncar of a show
And Donny is a man of inheritance and detachment.

All of his "people" are the glitzy, superficial and pseudointellectual New York, Hamptons and bicoastal dwellers from LA-LA Land who all suffer from the Pauline Kael syndrome.
To Donny, the "people" all have large NY penthouse apartments, fly in private jets and feel the need to tell the rest of us how to live to preserve their own lifestyles. Clue to Donny: remember what happened to the aristocracy in the French Revolution?

We are being invaded by a cancerous growth called Liberalism. It's being foisted upon us by the rich liberal democrats that own most of the broadcasting companies. The people that live on the coasts in California and New York. They are so sheltered from main street USA , and they only talk amongst themselves at their cocktail parties and red carpet premiers. It's like an echo chamber. They keep telling each other what they want to hear and begin to believe this as fact. Pathetically annoying to say the least.

A man who rules people by mandating the most minute details of their everyday lives. Well, at least he's doing it "for their own good".

Donnie DUMB*** wants us to believe he is a spokesman for the regular person. He's condescending, conceited, and self serving. He wouldn't know a hard days work if it smacked him on the ass. Shut up and go put some more mousse on your hair!
P.S. what are you going to do when your man of the people, mayor doomberg, bans mousse because it's a toxic substance?
Comrade Bloomie bans smoking, salt, and sodas...

Who's the person who keeps bringing Dummy Deutsch to chin wag in front of a camera? I want that person served with a subpoena to answer changes of trying to dumb down the American people.
Here's the bottom line:

Here's the bottom line: we know quite a bit about Romney and his wealth, thanks to the democrats, but we can't say the same about Bloomberg, one again, thanks to the democrats. Their "man of the people" isn't discussed as far as what he owns and how he acquired his wealth. True to their hypocritical nature, those questions are always reserved for their opponents and never themselves.
Take Mark Dayton, our illustrious Governor of the State of Minnesota, as a prime example. How many democrats have actually questioned this super-rich democrat about how many jobs the Dayton/Hudson corporation outsourced over the years? How many have questioned this super-rich democrat as to how many cars he owns, how many homes he owns, how much money he has tied up in dubious "investments?" The answer, of course, is none, for Dayton is also one of the democrat's "man of the people" and those questions are avoided at all costs. The Dayton/Hudson corporation, their family owned and operated corporation, isn't even mentioned. Nether is all the people who were laid off when that corporation decided to close the Dayton stores here in the State of Minnesota as not being profitable enough to suit their greedy, predatory, capitalistic nature, just as the democrats love to claim about Baine Capital.

Bloombergs not an elitist?

Thats like saying Obamas not a Socialist! Would Romney try to ban Big Gulps? Bloomy first did it to the smokers, but we didnt complain, because we didnt smoke.
Then he did it to the fast food eaters, but we dont eat that, so we didnt complain,,etc
He'll keep on going after people who like certain things til he targets YOU, and then no one will complain, because there will be no one left!
And, BTW, I DO smoke, and what he started, and other cities AND countries have followed his Strong-armed tactics, is nothing short of REPRESSION!
