The Martin Chronicles welcomed some distinguished guests to its palatial offices today. These "plugged-in" people came in checking on the status of the still-embargoed story about the final, costly bill that will be paid by the taxpayers (and others).
When that bill is paid, there is hope that the once-embattled city can begin to finally close the books on the last four years of-how did The Kentucky Enquirer put it very recently?-"scandals and lawsuits" served up by the corrupt and incompetent Mister 18%.
The discussion quickly turned to that aforementioned article in The Kentucky Enquirer. Here is how some of the at discussion went (interspersed with very heavy doses of laughter):
"Can you imagine? In an odd way, the little fella was right about the Villa Hills Civil Service ordinance. But for all the wrong reasons. That has got to be absolutely killing him."
"Especially since he got annihilated in last November's election!"
"But remember, the ordinance was rushed through only because the majority of council knew (name withheld-to protect his identity we'll call him Mister 18%) mostly wanted to be mayor to get revenge against all of the people he incorrectly blamed for his judicially-justified forgery arrest. What was the name of that dope on council who opposed the ordinance? I can't remember that dope's name, dang it."
"Who cares who that dope was?"
"How can (name withheld-to protect his identity we'll call him Mister 18%) feel when The Kentucky Enquirer described only his four horrible years in the mayor's office mismanaging and ripping off the city as ones filled with 'scandals and lawsuits'?"
"(Name withheld-to protect his identity we'll call him Mister 18%) was 'moving the city forward'? If that wasn't so (EXPLETIVE) sick it would be hilarious!"
"Good luck finding too many people who will say they proudly cast a vote for (name withheld-to protect his identity we'll call him Mister 18%) In fact, I've heard a bunch of people are actually apologizing for ever believing one (EXPLETIVE) thing he ever said. How bad is that?"
"What a joke!"
"You know (name withheld to protect his identity we'll call him Mister 18%) is already planning his latest comeback. This lunatic is convinced the voters will elect him to council next year and then return him to the mayor's office in 2018!"
"Like you said, 'lunatic'!"
This is far from over.
