THE PURGE: Revenge of the Clown
Daily Gotham
"Mole333" got the story out in public when Brooklyn's Clown Prince Marty Markowitz was making behind-the-scenes threats and public displays of aberration.
Well, you heard it here first... now even the NY Times is reporting on it. Brooklyn Borough Clown Marty Markowitz has flexed his muscles and ousted members of Community Board 6 who voted against him on Atlantic Yards.
...One thing that others are not really reporting on, which I did in my first article, is the fact that this muscle flexing, in itself not so unusual, has been accompanied by several loud and spittle spouting tirades by Marty in public where he threatened to do this. It is based on such public rampages that I was able to say so far in advance that Marty was purging. Community Board purges aren't really news. But when Marty, someone who has sounded out running for mayor or Public Advocate, is seen publicly berating people for standing up, in their minds, for the community interests on a Community Board, you gotta wonder about whether Marty has lost it. And people HAVE been wondering just that. I also feel increasingly uncomfortable with politicians who only want to be surrounded by yes-men. With Bush and his yes-men American has not been doing so well.
