May 20, 2008 (LPAC)--Stung by a series of sharp setbacks to his cherished initiatives, and the LaRouche Political Action Committee's having damaged his run for the U.S. Presidency, New York Mayor Michael Mouse-olini is cracking up in full public viewing, lashing out at friend and foe alike, in rage-filled foul-mouthed tirades.

In April, the New York State Assembly ignominiously rejected Bloomberg's London-sponsored "congestion pricing" scheme, to charge cars $8 per day for driving on the streets of Lower Manhattan, In early May, the Mayor's school 'reform' plan, which would have allowed principals to hire and fire teaches based on strictly their students' test scores, regardless of the teacher's seniority, appears to have been blocked.

Like all bullies, Bloomberg is not taking this well. The May 20 New York Times reports that "in recent days,... another Michael Bloomberg has spilled into view: short-tempered, scolding, even petulant." Bloomberg "is prone to outbursts of angry hyperbole, according to current and former associates, most of whom would speak only anonymously for fear of offending the mayor. They described a suddenly red-faced man who, in full view of others in the bullpen, the open workspace at City Hall, might scream, 'You're destroying my administration!' at an aide over a slip-up, or unleash a profanity-laced question about why he had botched a step in the project."

Mayor Mouse-olini clearly displayed such unbalanced behavior, when on a trip to Washington, DC, on Feb. 21, he was confronted by LaRouche Youth Movement members on his support for the fascist Public Private Partnership (PPP) plan to turn U.S. infrastructure over to financiers to loot. Bloomberg was so destabilized that he failed to attend the Feb. 24 press conference of the Building America's Future Coalition, on behalf of the PPP program, which Bloomberg had himself called.

The May 19 neo-con American Spectator, recognizing that Bloomberg is heading downward, weighs in with an article, "Bloom off the Rose," raising the question that Bloomberg's allies may be siphoning public monies as slush funds, and recording other Bloomberg administration failures.
