The Martin Chronicles beloved publisher had a Saturday meeting with the reporters who are still compiling the final confirmations for the still-embargoed story that will shock-and cost-the taxpayers of Villa Hills, Kentucky. Rest assured, others will pay dearly as well.
So, our beloved publisher was in a reflective mood. He reminded the gathered reporters of something his favorite editor advised him when he was a young investigative reporter. The editor said, "Remember, LIES are like filthy rodents that have very short legs. If you keep chasing these filthy rodents, you will eventually catch them. Just don't quit".
That old editor was pretty darn smart. And, exactly right. His expression goes a long way to explaining how an oddly vain, ridiculous little man who once beat his chest and proclaimed, "I'm the CEO. It's MY decision. Get over it. We're moving on" suffered an historic, embarrassing defeat in last November's election.
That oddly vain, ridiculous little man was pathetically pummeled by the voters. Mostly for his endless stream of colossal LIES.
That oddly vain, ridiculous little man was cut down more than a few embarrassing notches. He was no longer "the CEO" after November 4. 2014. The voters turned this oddly vain, ridiculous little man in to "Mister 18%". Very few people deserved such a humiliating comeuppance more than this oddly vain, ridiculous little man. As many in Villa Hills now say, "What a crook".
There were three primary culprits responsible for the embarrassment Villa Hills suffered from January 1, 2011 until December 31, 2014-with a host of lesser cronies and feckless fools tagging along for the taxpayer-funded, lucrative ride. The oddly vain, ridiculous little man is gone. So is his very-costly to the taxpayers, chief advisor. Only his nasty hatchet man remains. We'll see what happens to him.
In the meantime, we will continue to chase those short-legged, filthy rodents.
