Once again, ghoulish Bloomberg is politicizing a tragedy on the backs of the dead. In the wake of the Newtown tragedy, while families are grieving and preparing to bury their children and loved ones, Nanny Bloomberg continued his repulsive behavior on “Meet the Press” this morning.
Joining @DavidGregory Sunday on @MeetThePress to discuss the urgent need for immediate action to end gun violence. #Newtown

Of course she is. And of course Nanny Bloomberg will weasel himself in there somewhere.
The always cretinous Piers Morgan squees over Mayor Bloomberg’s ghoulish remarks, natch.
Mayor Bloomberg fantastic on Meet The Press now re gun control. #Newtown

The Mayor’s Office proudly tweeted out quotes from Bloomberg’s appearance.
Mayor on @MeetthePress: It's time for the President to stand up and lead … this should be his number 1 agenda. #Newtown

Mayor on @MeetthePress: This particular event is just one in a series that happens again and again and again.

Mayor on @MeetthePress: The president is the one who has to lead this. The president campaigned in 08 on an assault weapons ban.

Mayor on @MeetthePress: the President's job is not just to be well-meaning. His job is to perform and protect the American people.

Mayor on @MeetThePress: Carrying guns on a college campus is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of in my life.
— NYC Mayor's Office (@NYCMayorsOffice) December 16, 2012
Mayor on @MeetThePress: The @NRA's power is vastly overrated. The public wants to stop this carnage.
— NYC Mayor's Office (@NYCMayorsOffice) December 16, 2012
Mayor on @MeetthePress: Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone just said, 'Let's have some common sense here. We don't need assault weapons.'
— NYC Mayor's Office (@NYCMayorsOffice) December 16, 2012
Twitter users have a different take.
Ah Bloomberg, you're such an idiot! You have some of the strongest gun laws yet your city has one of the highest crime rates. #Failure

@ZekeJMiller This is just not true.

Master of smart .@MikeBloomberg, thinks gun massacres don't occur in other countries. @meetthepress #mtp #tcot
— Ammosexual Deetz (@tahDeetz) December 16, 2012
Ghoulish and a liar.
Bloomberg doesn't know what "common sense" is – on ANYTHING: soft drinks, guns, fatty food. Out of touch with the "99%." @cliffordlevy
— Matt Maggio (@MaggioMatt) December 16, 2012
Bingo. As Twitchy reported, Bloomberg jumped on the ghoul-wagon immediately, demanding “a plan” from President Obama.
Tell @BarackObama that you #DemandAPlan to end gun violence in America http://t.co/yCsuaarU

Hey Nanny Bloomberg, I have news for you: Obama is not a dictator. You can thank me later.
— Jimi (@RUExperienced_J) December 15, 2012
Hey, to be fair, Nanny Bloomberg thinks he is a dictator, so it’s no wonder he is so confused. Twitter users also point out a little something to the mayor: Irony is hard.

Huh. Answer that, mayor.

Exactly. And neither will ghoulish grand-standing by the self-serving and soulless Bloomberg. Next time, Bloomberg, could you possibly wait until grieving and devastated parents have buried their young children, and true heroes are put to rest, first?
