If we’re going to run a NYC pol, then we should run Marty Markowitz. Okay, he’s a dem, but he gives these great speeches that invariably mention eight or nine different restaurants regardless of whether he’s talking about budgets or speaking at a high school graduation ceremony.
Marty Markowitz sponsors all those weekly free concerts on Coney Island. We saw Liza Minelli and Sophia Loren last year, and MAN, is Marty pleased with himself when he gives speeches! He’s the personification of glad-handing pol.
