PR/marketing extraordinaire Peggy Siegal gave this damning quote: "They obviously do not relate to New Yorkers who socially network to support charities. They have made themselves socially irrelevant. It is a major shortcoming not to mingle with all classes.” She added that de Blasio seemed to have a “disdain for the striving, successful New Yorkers and I have been told by insiders that he always listens to his wife, who also has disdain for the accomplished"

Aren't these charity events merely a way for socialites and the leisure class to say they "are so busy" when in fact they have no real job and just party all the time and get their picture taken?

That's also called "socially relevant" apparently.

I hope the DeBlasioses have already booked their daughter for the débutantes' ball at Buckingham Palace otherwise she'll never find a nice young titled man and servants to settle down with. The horror of it all.

And who do you think their campaign contribution will go to (and not go to) in the next election cycle?

I'm guessing it's a no-win situation. If he did mingle, people would start shrieking about hypocrisy.
