Mayor Bill de Blasio Lampoons Himself at His Debut Rebuttal to Inner Circle Show

Mayor Bill de Blasio having fun on stage with his wife, Chirlane, and actor Cynthia Nixon at the 2014 Inner Circle Show

Mayor Bill de Blasio relied on celebrity friends to help poke fun at himself and his new administration in a shorter, understated rebuttal at the Inner Circle Show, March 22, 2014. Mayor Bill made jokes about his tardiness, his progressive ideology, his ups and downs after three months in office, and his fresh frustration with the City Hall press corps in front of a packed ballroom at the New York Hilton.
