Bloomberg apologizesto diet guru's widow
NEW YORK -- In a bizarre story all of New York is eating up, you should forgive the expression, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has finally, reluctantly, apologized to Robert Atkins' widow for calling the diet guru fat and saying his low-carbohydrate food was "inedible."
According to the New York Daily News, a New York TV reporter committed the uber-no-no of taping Bloomberg's private remarks during an off-the-record lunch with Brooklyn firefighters.
Trying to get down with the blue-collar bunch, Bloomberg is heard saying, "Atkins is dead. I don't believe ... that he dropped dead slipping on a sidewalk. Yeah, right. I actually went to his house out in Southampton for a fund-raiser two years ago. The guy was fat -- big guy -- but heavy. And the food was inedible. I took one appetizer and I had to spit it into my napkin. It was just terrible."
