Location: New York City Hall, Mayor’s Office
Time: Snowpocalypse
Chief of Staff: We need your help. This Snow is getting out of hand. I hate to use the term, but Mayor Bloomberg is getting buried here.
PR Agent: Where is he now?
Chief of Staff: Brooklyn, giving a press conference
PR Agent: Shouldn’t he be coordinating the cities assets?
Chief of Staff: Too late for that. This is a nightmare.
PR Agent: No seriously, get rid of the snow.
Chief of Staff: The political damage is done. What can you do to make the public see this as a good thing.
PR Agent: Snow plows. Use them. As for thinking it’s a good idea . . .
Chief of Staff: Can we tell people that we should live in harmony with the snow. That snow should be able to build up where ever it wants too.
PR Agent: I’m not following. All you need to do is have trucks come and . .
Chief of Staff: Isn’t this a property rights issue?
PR Agent: Still not following. Wait, are you tailoring the Park-51 media plan to fit this?
Chief of Staff: It worked for that!
PR Agent: Actually it didn’t, but I do have an idea. (takes out phone) Hey, I need a favor. Well, another one. I need you to take a hit on this snow situation. . . Yeah I know, but this guy’s doomed if you don’t.. . exactly, no return on the investment if it ends here. . ok, thanks. (hangs up phone)
Chief of Staff: Well?
PR: Agent: The Sanitation Workers Union has agreed to take the blame for this. Not only that, but the fight will make him look like Chris Christie.
Chief of Staff: Perfect. What do we do the next time it snows?
PR Agent: Tweet Cory Booker
