St. Augustine Record Heaps Undeserved Praise on Mendacious Mel Martinez, Our Bigoted Soon-to-be Ex-Senator from Florida

The St. Augustine WREckord editorialized this morning, "We're (sic) disappointed that [Senator Mel Martinez] is leaving office 18 months early."

Who is "we"? The rich trite white guys who owns the WRecKord and the right-wing pomposities they must hang out with?

Only a hack would write such sickeningly trite tropes as these:

"There is still so much more work to be done on behalf of all Floridians on issues including stimulus money and its use in the state, the bailout and the federal health care reform. A sitting senator has more rank and expertise than a short-term placeholder will have."

"Martinez said he was ready to come back to Florida and that he wanted to spend more time with his family now. We (sic) can understand because Martinez has had to do a major balancing act with his family in Orlando and himself in Washington. That's a tough commute with irregular hours, for sure. So, if he is tired of it, then it is time for him to move on and time for us to give special thanks."

"We just wish we had a longer time to work with him."

Oh, please, Ms. Thing. Hang it up.

Martinez was a very bad man with a very bad record. See Friday's blog analysis, below.

It takes a wretched, repulsive, Republican House Organ like the St. Augustine WRecKord to try to make a saint out of a snake.


God forgive them.

Let the N.Y Times buy the WRecKord so we can have journalism in St. Augustine again.
