Philly Mayor Had To Have His I-Phone

200 murders? A crisis in the streets? Nevermind all that... I need that I-Phone!!!

Mayor John Street Camps Out for 15 Hours, Waiting for IPhone Sale


Killadelphia's Mayor John Street had to have his I-Phone, despite more pressing issues in a city that has already seen 200 murders this year. He waited in line for 15 hours (on the taxpayers dime), arriving at around 3:30am.

Should he have spent his whole day in line or could he have made better use of his time by planning to deal with more pressing concerns for his city?

I personally would have paid a friend or relative to take care of something like this for me if I were a mayor of a major city.... or I would have simply pulled the strings necessary to have the store hold one for me...or have a salesperson deliver it later. How hard would that have been? I would have avoided this and had someone else do it just for the sake of not presenting the wrong image, especially considering the situation in that city at the moment regarding the rampant violence.
