The Martin Chronicles has a certain fondness for the quickly-marching-to-extinction Kentucky Enquirer. Despite the drivel churned out by their "infighting-obsessed" headline writer, the old rag has done a pretty fair job of covering Villa Hills recently. Not always. But recently.
We got a chuckle from a recent headline, "Villa Hills mayor apologizes to councilman". You see, we aren't sure the mendacious Martin actually did apologize to Councilman Tim Sogar. A close listen to what Martin says seems to reveal, "You got it. If I was wrong, I'm sorry".
When dealing with an experienced fabricator like Martin, that extra little word is important. Why? Because Martin still thinks he knows more about the law than the City Attorney. It is very similar to Martin's "happy to tell you" report during his 2010 dirtbag mayoral campaign that he wasn't suing the taxpayers-even when the US Supreme Court says he absolutely was. In Martin's mind, those nine folks in funny looking robes are clueless.
The Kentucky Enquirer clearly got one thing exactly right when they wrote that Martin has been "falsely claiming that Sogar was required to get a local occupational license, and failed to do so". Janet Martin went so far at the last council meeting as to loudly bray that the investigation of her corrupt husband was a "double standard". Mrs. Martin even chased Sogar while he was taking a bathroom break to harangue him further. So embarrassing. So disgraceful. So pathetic. So Martin.
Sogar got at least a phony apology from Mr. Martin. Now what we'd like Mr. Sogar to do at the next council meeting-assuming Martin hasn't been removed from office-is demand Janet Martin stand up and sing Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry".
"I'm Sorry. So Sorry. That I married such a fool . . . "
