So... did Bedbuggate sink Joel Klein?

[Smarmie Doofus]

He's beating a hasty retreat. ( Or is it *tasty*?)

As Frances McDormand said in FARGO, "Its a reeeeaaal shame."





Here's the Bedbuggate link:

This is where the bedbug bodies are buried.


Seriously... it seems a bit sudden. I'd heard no inklings and he's such a wonderful success as schools chancellor ( I'm kidding, for the uninitiated.) it doesn't much make sense for him to scram right about now.

The timing is odd. Very, very, odd.

1. Crap. This can't be good.

[Smarmie Doofus]

2. You mean it could get even worse?

Yeah... you know... you're probably right.

3. No. the new governor is into privatizing and teacher's union busting

Klein was gone regardless.

4. No one's more committed to same than Klein.

Besides, Bloomberg employs Klein... not the guv.

I think it was the bedbugs.

5. The new one is a publisher

Why don't they hire an educator? Someone who understands how kids learn and what affects that learning - that is the point of school, right?

6. Wrong. They couldn't care *less* about NYC pubic schools.

This is a corporate elite... largely Manhattan based, but lots w. primary and secondary palatial digs on east end LI, CT ( that's where the new one is from, BTW) and Westchester.

They do not *use* public school. Their *demographic* does not use public school. They know nothing * about* the schools because they have no *connection* to them.

Yet, they insist on controlling.... you got it.... the public school systems.

It's like a friggin' Woody Allen movie.


And did you see where Klein's going??!!??!!!!!!


Ya can't make it up.
