No sooner was Bill de Blasio elected mayor of New York than he was adlected in the New York Times.

Blackberry (the Joe Lhota of smartphones) ran this spread in Wednesday’s edition.

That’s the very definition of whistling past the graveyard.

Meanwhile, Johnnie Walker went all bipartisan in this full-page, hedge-your-bets ad.

Lots of potential in de Blasio’s future, yeah? More likely he’ll be running than walking, though.
