Mayor Bloomberg lashed out Friday at the judge who found the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk practices unconstitutional, calling her “some woman” who knows “zero” about police work.

“Think about this judge on stop-and-frisk,” the mayor fumed on his weekly radio show when asked about Manhattan Federal Court Judge Shira Scheindlin. “What does she know about policing? Absolutely zero.”

The city is appealing Scheindlin’s decision to appoint a federal monitor to oversee stop-and-frisk, but Bloomberg didn’t deign to refer to the judge by name.

“Your safety and the safety of your kids is now in the hands of some woman who does not have the expertise to do it,” he said.

Schiendlin, who has a master’s degree from Columbia University and a law degree from Cornell University, was a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn and general counsel to the city Department of Investigation before becoming a judge.

6. I heard yesterday that she is alos set to rule on a few other cases for the city and he just

insulted her. Not a bright move.

A twofer.

8. Yeah he was on his weekly radio show yesterday and he made a fool of himself.

The interesting thing is this judge has been chosen again to judge other issues for the city and he is now on record demeaning her.

9. Why is it that people forget that Bloomberg was a Republican when he was elected?

people do remember that he was a Dem before he decided to run ... so that he could get the $$$ to WIN, he changed to Repub.

Headlines in papers the day he was elected touted him as part of the 2002 Republican "landslide/death knell for the Dems" ... when Dems retook the same offices in 2010 ... not so much in the headlines, more like "Oh, btw ..."

10. This is true. He also endorsed Bush in 2004.

He is not the liberal that people think he is.
