Bloomberg: This Week's Disaster a 'Character Building' Experience

Despite the calamity that hit New York City this week and the glaring incompetence of his administration and the snow removal fiasco, Michael Bloomberg still gives himself high marks for 2010. How gracious of him.

The Blizzard of 2010 may have forever dented Mayor Bloomberg's popularity.

The mayor admitted today that the botched snow removal effort this week was a "character building" experience for him.

"This year is not ending the way I would have preferred, but it's still been a good year," he said this morning on his radio show. "Nobody has a career that goes straight up."

He added that the city's failure to clear streets days after the blizzard was "character building."

Uh, no, it was criminal negligence.
