One sign Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman might be a bad auctioneer: He turned down the highest bidder ... and then called her a "fat and short Bette Midler."
The Mayor let the unbelievable dis loose at a recent auction in Sin City, after a woman he repeatedly said looked like the Divine, red-haired, Vegas performer entered a bid of $2,750 for the item on the auction block.
In the video -- shot from a distance -- Goodman says he won't accept her money because "she's fat and she's short."
The other auctioneer quickly tried to steer the auction back on track ... but the damage had been done.
Going once, going twice ... cold!

... or are you just a complete idiot?
Floyd Mayweather and a hundred thousand of his closest friends -- plus Diddy, Ray-J, Mario Lopez and Jermaine Dupri -- hung out at XS in the Encore hotel after the Manny Pacquiao fight last night.
Common sense eventually prevailed. Floyd put the money away rather than "make it rain."

Wearing a button up shirt made from rejected casino carpet fabric, New York Yankee Johnny Damon hit up the Hard Rock in Las Vegas this weekend to celebrate his latest World Series win.
We're told Damon and his wife ordered bottles of Jack Daniels and Patron while inside the casino's club Wasted Space -- and as a bonus, Damon's former teammate Jason Giambi sent the happy looking couple a bottle of Dom Perignon.
Not even beer goggles can make Johnny's top attractive.
