Somebody go ask Mayor Mike which way the wind is blowing today

Because it seems the Mayor of New York City sure changes his mind along with the breeze. When the supposed hotel rape of hotel cleaning employee was still in the early hours and Dominique Strauss-Kahn was required to do a 'perp walk' in handcuffs and in front of cameras as is the American way (no so much in Europe), Bloomberg had this to say:

"I think it is humiliating, but you know if you don’t want to do the perp walk, don’t do the crime... I don’t have a lot of sympathy for that. Our judicial system works where the public can see the alleged perpetrators."

Now that the case has pretty much fallen apart on what may well be lies told by the woman who worked in the hotel suddenly, the breeze and Mayor Mike's mind seem to have changed:

"We've done perp walks for the benefit of newspapers and television for a long time... I've always thought the perp walks were outrageous. That's only my view. Nobody's asked me and I have no say in it..."

The weather forecast for City Hall in New York is for swirling changing winds that may not be the same in 15 minutes as they are now depending upon how the real world plays out.
