Brooklyn's biggest cheerleader, Borough President Marty Markowitz, has been a rumored possible candidate for mayor next year, but CityRoom finds out he's fine with a third term for Mayor Bloomberg--if only because that could mean a third term for him as Beep. Markowitz said he would reapply, if term limits are overturned, "I always said that this was my dream job. And to be able to do it for four more years would thrill me, absolutely thrill me. And I just hope that the people of Brooklyn would be thrilled, too. Well, not everyone will be thrilled, but I hope most of the people will.” Well, maybe not Charles Barron who announced he was running for Borough President--but maybe he'll run for City Council again.

I must say I thought a third term for Bloomberg might be justified if the odious little twerp Markowitz stood a chance of getting to City Hall. He didn't, and as an unintended consequence Brooklyn gets another four years of embarrassment and idiocy. Unless DiBlasio still wants to take him on. Oh wait, he can extend his term too.
See Bloomberg's move to seek a third term is motivated by understandable disgust at what the democratic machine was likely to replace him with, but it does look like entrenching some awful people in office elsewhere.
Markowitz=schmuck.
