Bob Herbert Still Doesn't Get It

The NY Times' Bob Herbert throws a bit of the old hissy fit over Bloomie's smackdown of insubordination. He's carrying on like a little kid who just got told he's getting left back becuase he can't keep up.

"Mayoral control means mayoral control, thank you very much," said Mr. Bloomberg. It came across as a sneer.

No, it came across as the facts of life for the city's educational community. Bloomie's in charge, and he's serious. You get in his way and he'll bury you. He's staking his entire administration on pulling the city's school system out of the sewer it's been wallowing in for the last twenty or more years, and anyone who gets in his way is gonna get stomped.
