Milton Takes On Fort Knox

Milton Street was in court paying traffic tickets yesterday, and since Milton Street is the greatest politician ever, the Daily News‘ Regina Medina was there to chat up the friendly neighborhood Milton man.

Street paid $337 of the $637 he owes to the court, and went on a $50 a month payment plan to pay off the rest of his total. (The question here is: Does Milton Street have a job? How does he plan to get $50 a month — assuming he doesn’t win his bid for City Council, that is. Hell, how does Milton Street afford tolls?)

And now that Milton Street isn’t actually running for mayor anymore — though he is on the ballot for City Council — he’s done talking about the man he dubbed Watermelon Man, Michael Nutter, and has moved on to everyone’s new favorite target, surprise frontrunner Tom Knox.

Street accused Tom Knox of lying about his plan to add more cops. “No, Tom Knox is lying,” he told the Daily News. “[If] he knows how to fund it, tell us how you’re going to fund it. Where are you going to get the money, Tommy?”

And then, there’s this:

Street said he’ll protest Monday outside Knox’s headquarters, though he doesn’t know at which one of the three offices he’ll stage his protest.

Hell, Milt! Protest at all three! You and Tommy the Loan Shark can chill all day. And it’s supposed to be nicer on Monday, I hope. Don’t want Milton to get rained on or anything.
