Thug on trial, day 4: Thugs have feelings, too

John Martarano, who rivals Bulger in the number of bodies he's responsible for, was heartbroken when he learned Bulger was a snitch.

Of course, that's somewhat ironic, given Martarano's second career as a snitch and Mob author.

Meanwhile, courthouse guards kept a Martarano groupie from getting his autograph - in the courtroom.

Bonus fun fact: Howie Carr is this mass murderer's business partner.

Howie Carr is that classic scam artist who, like televangelists, found a niche and ran with it. Too bad some of his books can by had for a penny on Amazon. I wonder if Johnny gets a end out of that?

As I've stated before, I can remember some of the old Irish wise guys always got a kick out of talking to Howie Carr, basically because they could make up any bullshit story about any given wiseguy and Howie eats it up the way he laps up the free Kowloon on his show. So he then prints half the bullshit he's told and the suckers eat it up, his wife and kids live the Swellesly lifestyle and he can afford all that lipo and hair transplants.

My favorite is how he's described as "radio sensation" in his Amazon bio. The man hates being at WRKO and it shows almost every day. It was a great day in Boston when TKK changed formats, forever dooming Carr to the handful of podunk local stations he's on now and insuring that he'll be on RKO and AM for the rest of his life.

Martarano has a heart? Hard to imagine.

That does seem awfully hard to believe, doesn't it?

So it comes out in court that Carr paid 75k to Martorano for his story. How much did Carr pay out to Johnny's victims?

On top of it, he doesn't show up to do his show today, The other hack, Col. Hunt, tried to tell us Howie was out getting more hair plugs.

So Howie sits on his fat ass tonight in his tony manse, paid for from the profits he shared with a murderer and sociopath.Scared shitless that someone might ask him about this slap in the face to the victims of Martorano. What an unbelievable piece of shit. I always knew he was a hack, but this stretches all kinds of ethics here and I can't wait to call tomorrow to ask him about it just to see how he tries and weasel out of this one.Even worse is how he never disclosed this before, so while he's been railing against Martorano as a scumbag for years, he's been making backdoor deals with him!!

Howie Carr is nothing more than a lowlife scumbag who makes money off of lowlife scumbags, yet he tries to portray himself as better than them when he's even lower than they could ever be.

For a guy that appears to despise Howie, you sure do know a lot about him, you know his every move, you know about his book and maybe even read it, and seem to listen to his radio show. Kinda weird if you ask me.

Just sayin'

my younger days. My Irish grandfather lost his legs and eyes to diabetes, so one of our chores was reading Carr's column to him every day.

You see, when my grandfather wasn't railing against "the niggahs" who forced him out his home on Cummins Highway, he was yelling at my grandmother "Loretta, time for Howie, put the radio on!"

Also, I'm in a car sometimes 12 hours a day and some days a lot of it is waiting for clients, so yes, I listen to Howie along with Rush, Stephanie Miller and Mark Levin.

Also, my Dad's first cousin was a local Mafiosi and when I moved to the Bunker Hill projects, that was my in with a lot of the local Irish wiseguys, who despised Carr as a privileged idiot.

This latest outrage just gets my cheese, especially since Carr is now trying to elicit sympathy for this murderer in his latest columns and if he hadn't been outed in court, Carr would have never fessed up to this unholy alliance.

He's an arrogant blowhard who's so full of himself that it defies belief.
