The inmate is running the asylum
This letter was sent by Stuart Sorg, Chairman of the City's Waterfront Advisory Board, to members of the Miami City Commission. (If you click on it, it will open to full size.)Sorg is asking that Jack King not be reappointed to the Watefront Advisory Board. His reason being, that he doesn't vote the way Sorg wants him to vote on board issues. Say what?
I want to start calling him Fidel Sorg.
One reason given in the letter, which I love, is that, "King refuses to vote with the Board and votes with the Village Council [on issues] ."
YES! That is what we need. Someone who cares about the Grove waterfront and doesn't want to sell it off to the highest bidder!
Another thing Sorg doesn't like is that, "King refers to Commissioners Joe Sanchez, Angel Gonzalez and Michelle Spence-Jones as the three clowns."
They are, Stuart. And you are the fourth.
I say Stuart Sorg needs to retire (forever) into a nice rocking chair, with a nice cup of cocoa and he needs to get over his delusions of grandeur real fast.
Here is Jack's column in the Biscayne Times. The "clowns" comment is toward the bottom.

What a riot watching King putting down Sorg repeatedly during City Hall meetings. He often ridicules him, and rightfully so, as that Sorg decrepit clown deserves.
Sorg wants that massive and exclusive waterfront office building, I wonder what kind of "favors" he might expect by blatantly breaking the Waterfront Master Plan 50 feet from the water laws. Is Stuart Dork a wealthy boat owner, does he even live in the Grove?
An unbelievable letter. When you get high up in the Navy, you are surrounded by a circus train of suck ups and the system is focused on giving you lots of special pampering. The silly asses get pumped up thinking they are the greatest things around. Sadly, it becomes their entire identity until finally they can't say a paragraph or write a letter without referring to their past status.
I am surprised he didn't start off the letter with "I am a Navy Seal"
which is how he generally starts off every conversation. Yes he does live in the Grove.
Not that Narcissists or people with mental disorders should have any less rights to serve the public, but, should Should there not be a psychological evaluation done before people sit in on boards that make major decisions for the whole public. Not to disregard the democratic demography, but majority of the public (80%) do not suffer from serious mental problems.
I love how Sorg always manages to slip in the well worn phrase into every letter and speech he ever makes, " As retired Navy Seal Captain, with 26 years of service..."
Now he has embellished that with the newish, "recommended a few years ago to be promoted to Admiral." By whom? Well, clearly he did not get the promo, or surely we would all be subjected to every single one of his rants featuring the phrase, "As a retired Navy Seal Admiral, and former Captain, with 26 years of service, I think that..."
Take your pick:
...we shouldabolish the Village Council so Jack King can't vote with them.
or
...change Robert's Rules so that if the majority of people vote the same in one issue, the one that votes differently should get drummed out of the board...
or
Jack King can't be on the board because there is only room for one King on the board, and that's me...
or
...everyone should always agree with and defer to me, because, after all, I am a retired Navy Seal Captain with 26 years of experience. Oops, I mean Admiral...no wait, King. I wanna be King of the waterfront. Yeah, that's it... As a retired Navy Seal King of the waterfront with 26 years of service... Wait... Kings don't serve, do they ? As a King I don't think I should be made to serve! Say, can I have some more of that City Seal stationery... I need to rewrite this letter... or wait, as King, I shouldn't have to write... is someone around to take dictation?

Get the Admiral some meds, FAST.
LOL, I love the way you write.
Jack King is one of the few honest columnists in Miami.
Why is Stuart Sorg so desperate to allow developers to build an office building on the Coconut Grove waterfront? And why is Sorg such an aggressive cheerleader to the developers desire to invade the waterfront setback?
sounds like this 'seal' has been out of water too damn long !
And why does he get to use City of Miami stationery? I don't think I have seen other boards doing that. How does he even have access to it. Even the Village Council which is elected has their own stationery. My tax money is paying for him to use their stationery!
Someone needs to review that entire Board, everyone on that board except King has an agenda, they either own property on the waterfront, run a business that is affected by it, or they are looking to do something on the waterfront. Who reviews these applicants?
Sorg always uses City stationery. One time he even circulated a letter on City Manager Arriola's stationery. He must go in and pilfer it when the secretaries are not looking. Guess he ran out of Navy Seal stationery a while back...
What exactly is the problem with calling the bozos Sanchez, Gonzalez and Spence-Jones clowns?
Is it disrespectful of clowns?
should we start a letter campaign to the Commission in support of Jack King? or do you expect that he now has 3 "clown" votes against him?
Mr. Sorg (Ret.USN, yadda yadda) clearly does not understand the word "unanimous." If one person, only one person, of the voting body does not vote with the others, it cannot be "unanimous." By definition.
This could possibly be a symptom of other lapses in understanding.
Has anyone asked Stuart Sorg if he is being paid to recommend an office building on the Grove waterfront?
Or did Sorg stay underwater too long one time too many?
Definitely underwater too long. And consider whether Mr. Sorg, retired Navy Seal, might have an interest in a City contract to manage the new mooring field. He has his own ideas about the waterfront that seem to be based less in reality than in his ego. FYI, he lives in the Grove and owns commercial property on Bird, but was appointed to the Waterfront Advisory Board by Angel Gonzalez.
I'd invite any number of you anonymous jerks to ask Stuart those questions to his face. He's in the phone book, I believe. You can knock on his door, anytime.
I knew Sorg back in the "70's" He is what was called in the old days a "frog man" NOT a Navy Seal!!! Ask him if he ever jumped out of an airplane at 20 thousand feet & did a free fall to 2000 ft. before opening his shute...or came out of a submarine while underwater or made a landing in a "fast boat". He may have trained to go underwater to attach explosives (and I emphasize TRAINED) but I doubt he ever saw any action. I never was impressed!!!
