Raging against the nation’s “elites,” Gingrich singled out those who live in city “high-rises” and those “that ride the subway.”

Nanny Bloomberg’s battle against demon booze is even affecting his Super Bowl bet with the mayor of the Packers’ hometown.

In a fit of hooch hatred, Hizzoner has asked Green Bay Mayor James Schmitt to take bottles of ice wine out of their intercity pregame bet and replace the libations with harmless soft drinks.

Now Bloomberg — known for sipping fine wine and downing a cold beer from time to time — wants to crack down on alcohol sales to curb excessive drinking, according to a provocative planning document obtained by The Post.

The city Health Department’s far-reaching Partnership for a Healthier New York City initiatives proposes to slash the number of establishments in the city that sell booze.

With more than two years to go on his third term, Bloomberg is beginning to wind down his administration by assigning staffers at city agencies to begin compiling lists of accomplishments, The Post has learned.

“They’re spending a lot of time putting this together,” one ranking administration official told The Post.

Reporters, he notes, fixate on trials and contracting scandals far more than voters do. If you look at the mayor’s poll numbers after Tropical Storm Irene, they have taken on helium, he noted.

Of course, as this official noted, the problem with waiting until the ninth inning is that, as with the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez, you can step up to the plate and strike out.
