It seems he's also unable to keep his temper in line when talking with major editorial boards:
Former Hialeah Mayor Raul Martinez (D), who has been weighing a bid against Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R), apologized this week for his vulgar diatribe in an interview with The Miami Herald.
According to the newspaper, Martinez called the chairman of the state Republican Party a crude term for a female body part.
“I would debate any f—-ing Republican about my past,” Martinez is quoted as saying, adding later, “I will beat the s—- out of them.”
The state GOP was criticizing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) for attending a fundraiser held by Martinez, who has successfully fought off corruption charges during his career.
Martinez told the Herald he is still unsure about running against Diaz-Balart.
OK - there are lots of vulgar and uncouth crooks who run for Congress, but should they really be organizing fundraisers for the Democratic front runner?
