Mr. Weiner was married on July 10th. He’s on top of the world and ready to take on Congress!!

Apparently Marty Markowitz is traveling to other countries on someone else’s nickel and out of all the NYC politicians he has accepted the most freebies. Ya know it’s not because he likes to get the free travel, but because all these other […]
