emotional responses aside (fan responses), nobody thinks martin is particularly intelligent, but he's not a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) either. so we should probably assume he had some reason for making these thoughts public. something other than being paranoid, hypersensitive and u-mad.
really the only thing i can think of that isn't some deep, ridiculous mindgamey crap would be that he thinks that by making clear how much he wants the miami job, and how cheap he'd be willing to make himself be, he can move some people to pressure shalala, the interim a.d. and whoever else needs to be pressured. that seems like a real longshot to me, but perhaps he has some indication that makes it seem a more reasonable strategy than it appears.
