http://youtube.com/watch?v=0nCJKzTUKnEA little unsolicited advice: Never ask New York mayor Michael Bloomberg to pet sit while you’re on vacation. Let’s just say he’s not good with animals.
In an attempt to set up a good photo opportunity yesterday, Bloomberg manhandled the Staten Island Zoo’s ground hog. It responded to Bloomberg’s gentle touch by taking a bite out of his hand.
“They were definitely wrestling there for awhile,” a zoo representative said. “They definitely looked like they were involved in a tussle.”
Tussle? Bloomberg looked like he was competing in a greased pig contest.
Final score: Groundhog 1, Bloomberg 0.
