You Think It’s Funny But The Office Of The Borough President Is A Complete Fucking Waste Of Money

The decision to overturn term limits just looks better and better:

In a show of Brooklyn pride, GZA adopted Markowitz as the newest member of the Wu-Tang Clan and dubbed him “Marty Wu,” before hinting that the legendary rap group may make an endorsement in the 2013 mayoral race.

Markowitz welcomed the rapper and said musicians such as GZA are evidence of the creative energy nurtured by the borough.

Sorry, did I say “better and better?” I meant better and better and better and better and better:

Borough presidents Marty Markowitz and Scott Stringer put their long-standing rivalry to rhyme Monday, dueling it out in arguably the worst rap battle of the century.

The showdown began when Markowitz, representing Brooklyn, slapped down his “take” of a verse from GZA’s “Liquid Swords” at a press conference with the Wu-Tang Clan member announcing the lineup of the 2012 Northside music festival.

“Through cyclones or typhoons, I represent Brooklyn from midnight to high noon. I don’t waste ink, I think, I drop ‘fuggedaboutits’ faster than you blink,” declared the pol, according to video of the showdown.

. . .

Never one to be outdone by a Brooklynite, Stringer stepped up to the plate and took to Twitter to recapture Manhattan’s cool.

“They call me Big Beep, Scott Stringer, Report Flinger, Retort Zinger,” he mused, prompting one Queens reporter to cringe, “oooh noooo.”

Audrey Gelman, a spokesman for the borough president, said it was Stringer’s idea to flex his lyrical muscles after he heard about Markowitz’s ditty from amused staffers earlier in the day.
