Mayor Bloomberg may be a lot of things. A billionaire. A three-term mayor. A Bostonian. But now there is video proof that he is not an actor, a singer, or much of a superhero. On Saturday night, Mayor Bloomberg got into his tights and aped Spider-Man (to ABBA tunes) for the Inner Circle's annual dinner. And if our recap wasn't enough for you, the Mayor's office has edited his not-short Mamma Mia! spoof into a short three-minute video that may leave you feeling a little queazy. Especially around the :38-:45 mark.

Yup, that is Bloomie fighting pension monsters and bedbugs around 1:30. Yup, that is Press Secretary Stu Loeser and Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith around 1:45. And yup, we agree, we think we've now seen more of Mike Bloomberg in tights then we ever want to see again. Bring back the Bermuda shorts!
