Driving Mr. Markowitz

0804martym.jpgBrooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz is looking for a new driver, and The Daily News reports that he's resorted to the classifieds to find the perfect person for the job.

The ad, which ran in Sunday's Daily News, stressed that the driver must be discreet, "a prerequisite ever since a former driver claimed Markowitz stashed wine in his black SUV and used emergency sirens to bypass traffic, among other abuses." The ad reads:

The office of the Brooklyn borough president is seeking an experienced Chauffeur/Attendant who can maintain confidentiality at all times and drive the Borough President to various meetings and events.
Are you willing to turn a blind eye to how Marty uses the publicly funded service? Former driver Mario Nicholas warns, "He's a very difficult boss to drive for."
