Let's revisit what Mayor Bloombastic thinks is _really_ important 
amongst the dumpster diving and subway rats running the streets:

Staten Island Councilman James Oddo: 'Idiotic' to divert cops to New 
York Marathon right after Hurricane Sandy
“If you saw what I saw in South Beach, Midland Beach & New Dorp Beach 
this morning you would know how idiotic it would be to take even one 
asset away from people in dire need,” Oddo wrote.

Desperately needed food, water and generators were being rushed Thursday 
to Sandy-ravaged Staten Island while local leaders blasted the city’s 
“idiotic” plan to stage the New York City Marathon in the midst of the 
crisis.

Staten Island Councilman James Oddo urged Mayor Bloomberg to reconsider, 
especially while rescue efforts are still underway on the hard-hit South 
Shore.

"The notion of diverting even one police officer, one first responder, 
one asset away from this carnage is beyond irrational,” the Republican 
lawmaker told The Daily News.

"The mayor said to me, 'We're not going to diminish what is happening on 
Staten Island.' You know what happens on marathons - you put a cop on 
every corner. How are we going to have enough resources?"

The anger expressed by Oddo, who went so far as to blast Sunday’s 
marathon plans as “idiotic” on his Facebook page, was echoed by another 
Republican, state Sen. Andrew Lanza.

"This is an example of what infuriates us," Lanza said. "We have people 
still in water, families displaced, people wondering where their 
grandparents are."

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat, said she agrees with Staten 
Islanders on the marathon.

"I'll be seeing the mayor later today," she said. "I'll express my concern."

The outrage over the marathon came after Borough President James 
Molinaro practically begged for help for what locals call the “forgotten 
borough.”

"We have the worst tragedy that's ever happened in Staten Island, and 
I'd say New York City, since 9/11," said Molinaro. "We need help … We 
need food, we need clothing, we need everything you can possibly think of."

"We have hundred and hundreds of people in shelters. How do we handle 
them? Where do they go?"

Sen. Chuck Schumer said FEMA has already dispatched 10 truckloads of 
disaster relief supplies and the Caterpillar company has donated 200 
badly-needed generators to get the juice back on.

"No place suffered worse than Staten Island," Schumer said. "Staten 
Island bore the brunt of it like almost nobody else and we need the 
federal government to step up to the plate.”

Knocked by the powerful storm into the Stone Age, hungry Staten 
Islanders were told to gather for free food and water from the city at 3 
p.m. at two drop off points: Mill Road and New Dorp Ln., and at an empty 
lot at Yetman Ave. and Hylan Blvd.

Help, however, was hard to find the struggling New Dorp section, where 
families returning to inspect their home forded through knee deep water 
with tears in their eyes.
