Martin's lame excuse? He is waiting to see if the daredevil driver who allegedly decided to careen in to the sign has insurance that will pay for the repairs. Uh-huh. Sure.
The asshats at the civic club are most likely applauding their buddy's delay as some sham sign of frugality. But people with triple-digit IQ's view this seemingly-endless embarrassment in a different light.
Here's what we're hearing:
- "Well, I guess its symbolic of Martin's destruction of Villa Hills."
- "How much longer to we have to put up with Martin's stupid $#!t?"
- "Isn't that little dip$#!t some kind of hack handyman? Why doesn't he fix it himself?"
- "Doesn't that jerkwad drive past the sign almost everyday? Does he think its okay?"
- "Can't the road crew fix it? What the he!!? No streets are getting fixed."
- "Just another reason to get rid of the little bastard."
- "Martin, that little ----sucker!"
- "Martin sucks."
- "Martin can't suck enough."
These were the "kindest" things are reporters heard. Just what a creepy guy who's mentor was just annihilated in the Republican primary for Kenton County Judge Executive needs to hear before he faces a general election of his own.
Perhaps Martin's personal-and now City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry should attempt to explain the concept of subrogation to the mallet-headed mayor.
