New Yorkers now have a better moniker for Mayor Bill de Blasio: Rather than call him Big Bird (because of his height), they can now refer to him as Rodney Dangerfield, whose trademark was: “I Get No Respect.”

That name is justified based on the latest City Hall dump of 4,245 pages of emails — conveniently released while most people were watching the Brett Kavanaugh-Christine Blasey Ford hearings.

The emails highlight Hizzoner’s two big obsessions: the fact that no one in the news media treats him with proper deference, and his focus almost from the moment he took office on raising his national profile.

After an op-ed piece he’d written was rejected by The New York Times, the mayor whined, “I’m not treated with the respect of previous mayors” — claiming that predecessor Mike Bloomberg, by comparison, was given “a free ride” by the press.

A Politico piece that described the challenges of his first two months in office was dismissed by the mayor as “d—ish.”

“I just don’t get it,” he wondered. “Where is this magical thing we should do better???”

(And here we thought it was just The Post he hates for all the exposés and revealing stories the paper has run.)

His difficulties with news outlets may partly explain why de Blasio considered heading out of town after just days on the job.

Another reason: his delusions of becoming a national progressive leader.

Invited to address the Ohio Democratic Party in his first week in office, he told his advisers, who were reluctant to have him attend: “Ohio is the center of the political universe and I love it there.”

Obviously, the mayor never intended to have such embarrassing revelations made public — which is why he forced The Post and NY1 to fight so long in court to get the messages released.

Too bad he never learned that if he only focused more on actually accomplishing things at home, he just might be treated with a little more respect.
