Brooklyn Beep Bleeps!
Borough President Marty Markowitz appears to suffer from Tourette's syndrome anytime he faces opposition to Atlantic Yards. Now his year-end interview with Gersh Kuntzman is getting airplay in the blogosphere.
The Politicker declares Marty's interview with the Brooklyn Papers, "remarkably pungent" (link).
One of Politicker's highlights is about as classy as Nixon's secret White House tapes. Here's Marty's assesment of the motivation of Atlantic Yards critics:
"The truth of the matter is, it comes down to this: when you're against something, f_ck it, you'll do anything you can to stop it."
The Brooklyn Record digs up another instance in which Marty was feeling blue (link):
When asked if he thought that any newspaper in the city has analyzed the Atlantic Yards project "credibly and with integrity," Marty mentioned the Times.
"They have seriously written things that were definitely pro, middle and anti," Marty continues. "Whatever issues that the antis have raised, they have definitely not ignored it. Your paper says, 'We're against it, so f— it.'"
Egads! He should have listened to his mother.
