Mayor Bloomberg asks, ‘Who wrote this sh-t?’ during hot dog pun-filled press conference

You can always count on Bloomie to say it like it is.

New York’s notoriously unapologetic mayor didn’t hesitate to air his grievances with the ridiculous remarks prepared for him to be read before the Nathan’s hot dog-eating contest at Coney Island.

Not one for slapstick humor, Mayor Bloomberg struggled to hide his annoyance as he read through the comments that included quips like “swallow the competition,” “dogged pursuers” and “pronounced wiener.”

After a brief pause, the mayor asked, “Who wrote this sh-t?”

We don’t know, but we’re guessing he or she is in the (hot) dog house.
