Mamdani can learn a thing or two from his predecessors not that it would help

NYC’s current mayor — Zero Crapdammy.So what’s it take to be a mayor? The dictionary defines “mayor” as: chief magistrate of a city.So this was de Blasio? Whose wife’s duties maybe included hugging an ATM?Secondary definition: a minor judicial officer.Like maybe the not-so-major Eric Adams?La Guardia grabbed an airport named after him.

Koch got some small street someplace.Long ago’s Robert Van Wyck — whom nobody remembers — is a highway.

Crapdammy — maybe a dead end.To match his own dead end that sat on a bicycle during an Israeli parade.Bloomberg was richest.

He could buy the Statue of Liberty and stick her on his end table.Youngest? Hugh Grant in 1889 and he was only 30.

Back then — before Ozempic — it bought 10 pounds of bacon but what you’d do with all that bacon only a pig knows.John Mitchel, just in his 30s, was 1914.

Today, nobody knows what John did.Or cares.

Nothing got named for him unless you include your bathroom.Tammany Hall.All was nice neat crime.

Graft.Stealing.

Conning.Lying.

Sort of rehearsal for today’s world.A Hizzoner is principal officer of a principality.OK, so shove places like — let’s say — up yours, Montana.

A burning question in this case is: What’s a mayor do? Besides inhaling warm tuna salad sandwiches at a rally.Or getting a motorcade instead of his usual crappy bike.

Or living on the arm at Gracie Mansion instead of possibly a one-bedroom in Bed-Stuy.Plus, in this case, a hairdresser for his wife the Private Citizen.
