A dyslexic political candidate kisses people’s hands and shakes babies. A billionaire liberal elite political candidate shakes a dog’s head. No seriously, Michael Bloomberg shook a dog’s head because apparently he’s never encountered a dog before. Obviously as a billionaire, Bloomberg thinks dogs are something for the peasants. He is however running for president and has to slum it from time to time and upon meeting his first pooch, figured one is supposed to shake its head.
Check out this video of a guy who simply cannot relate to the common man or the common man’s best friend:

Bloomberg was in Burlington, Vermont campaigning when he unfortunately had to touch some regular folks. He starts out by shaking the hand of a guy who was so unimpressed that he wouldn’t even stand up. From there, Bloomberg figured he must engage the man’s dog. All of his etiquette training had not prepared him for such and encounter so he went with his billionaire elitist instincts.
The best Bloomberg could come up with was the grab the dog by its muzzle, with his fingers inside of the the dog’s mouth, and shake the poor pooch’s head. See, he’s just like regular people.
It’s an almost certainty that immediately following this awkward interaction with the peasants and their beasts, he had his hand professionally disinfected. Who knows what kind of poor people germs he must have come in contact with?
This dog shaking incident comes on the heels of Bloomberg’s visit to San Francisco where he couldn’t quite figure out how to ride the subway. The Houston Chronicle reports:
As part of presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg’s Friday tour throughout the Bay Area, the billionaire deigned to ride BART like the rest of us mere mortals. It didn’t go so well.
Trailed by a phalanx of reporters and aides, Bloomberg could be seen answering lobbed questions on a video recorded by The Chronicle’s Joe Garofoli, declaring BART to be “much cleaner” than the New York subway. His aides then led him toward the fare gate, where Bloomberg — armed with a Clipper card — attempted to stick it into the slot intended for paper tickets.
Bloomberg appeared to stand with the Clipper card in the paper ticket slot for at least seven seconds, neither moving nor trying to enter the gates through any alternative method. Mercifully, after this period of interminable stasis, an aide rushed over and pointed at the Clipper Card scanner on top of the fare gate.
Bloomberg gets the cue and then taps the Clipper card as intended.
No really, he’s just like us.
Bloomberg, who is worth $58 billion thinks he can convince people he’s really an average working class slob like the rest of the country. Check out this video in which he seriously downplays his grotesque wealth:
Really? He’s a middle class kid who worked his way through college? His wealthy accountant dad has a building at Harvard business school named after him, which is not exactly something middle class kids who have to work their way through college can claim.
Michael Bloomberg has been a rich privileged asshole since birth and the fact that he has no idea how to pet a dog or ride a subway proves it. I can’t wait for the video of him trying to choke down some Hamburger Helper comes out to “prove” he’s really a working class guy at heart. Money can buy a lot of things, but poverty ain’t one of them. Same goes for credibility.
