JACK WATCH 2011 - THE WATCH CONTINUES

FOUR photos of Jack in the latest edition of the Martins fanzine, a.k.a. The Mineola American.  Here's Jack sitting at a public hearing.  Here's Jack talking to library advocates.  Here's Jack chillin' with the students at Mineola High School.  What?  No picture of Jack tying his shoe?

The Mineola American never showed this much interest in the activities of the previous senator for the 7th S.D.  And it certainly has never shown that much interest in the activities of our Congressional Representative, Carolyn McCarthy.  You might be able to say "Jack Martins is from Mineola whereas Craig Johnson is from Port Washington.  So that's why Martins gets so much free publicity."  But what of Rep. McCarthy?  She's a life-long resident of Mineola.  She's also a Democrat.

So is that the deal?  Does the new senator derive his "favorite son" status from his party affiliation?  Mineola has been part of the 7th S.D. since time immemorial.  Why the sudden focus on 7th S.D. issues?

Just asking.

JACK WATCH 2011

AND THE LOVE-FEST BETWEEN THE MINEOLA AMERICAN & JACK MARTINS CONTINUES . . . 

Yesterday's edition (3/23) contained at least SIX pictures of Jack Martins.  Of course our favorites were the two shots of the back of his head.  DEFINITELY his better side!

Plus there were the two big article headlines starting with "Sen. Jack Martins: (blah, blah, blah)"  Then of course, there's his weekly Op-Ed piece accompanied by his Glamor Shots photo.

NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE MINEOLA AMERICAN HAS THERE BEEN SO MUCH  BLATANT FAWNING OVER ONE INDIVIDUAL. 

What is Anton Community Newspapers thinking?  Why are they SO eager to lick Jack Martins' boots?  If the editors at the Mineola American aren't careful they can very well ass-kiss themselves out of business because people are getting tired of it and THERE ARE OTHER LOCAL PAPERS OUT THERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO.

Seriously people!  Are you journalists or TOADIES?
