Senator Jeff Klein
Much like Larry Craig touching the foot of an undercover cop when he was trollin' for ass in an airport bathroom during a layover, Jeff Klein couldn't have picked a worse cyclist in all of Manhattan to call a "fucking asshole" while he was behind the wheel of his black Mercedes.
Had Senator Klein not chosen to deck out his Mercedes with license plates exclusively for members of the senate, he could have ridden off anonymously into the sunset.
Instead, he chose to mess with No Impact Man (I know. WTF, right?) who used his lone superpower of observation and realized the driver calling him hurtful names and trying to run him off the road might be a government official.
Sure enough, when No Impact Man caught up to offending senator at a stop light he was able to coax his name out of him thanks to the age old Jedi mind trick of "What's your name?"
Being Senator Klein is a Democrat and doesn't have that whole lying thing perfected yet, he willfully revealed his true identity to No Impact Man, which lead to this strongly worded open letter, which was soon followed by this posting of triumphant success.
Along the way the journalist juggernaut that is Gothamist caught wind of the story and a lively discussion soon followed.
Was the senator just feeling the sting of karma or was it a set up by No Impact Man all along?
I don't know and I don't care. I'm just happy that I get to giggle at the expense of an elected official.
Oh, and No Impact Man, I poked around your gerbil powered website and hate to say it but what I saw in just a couple minutes is more than enough to make you a strong candidate for next week's featured Douchebag. Keep up the good work and you'll join Senator Klein soon enough.
Really, No Impact Man, you've leveraged your new lifestyle (one that many folks already adhere to without the need to self promote) into a book and a movie deal?
Do you recommend I read the book before seeing the movie or could I save a couple of trees by skipping ahead to the film?
Just curious.
