LMAO @ the News 4 plug

And the fact that folks still think of him as DC’s best mayor is just sad.

Yes he is human – but once you are in office – you gotta be better at hiding this kind of crap or risk not being in office anymore (well except if you’re Marion Barry of course).

All I know is…no one has anything to fear from that man – physically. As old and frail as he is, you could knock that man down with one punch to the belly. Or, hell, just blow on him real hard. He is such a pathetic individual.

Hey there!
NBC4 will continue the coverage on Marion Barry tonight, so if you want to stay in the loop, make sure to tune in at 5PM & 6PM to Channel Four.

Here is a sampling of what we have in stock tonight:
MARION BARRY

So what exactly happened with Marion Barry over the weekend? We know he was taken into custody, but there are two conflicting stories about what prompted his arrest. Today, Barry is speaking about about this latest incident. News4 broke this story on Saturday night, and Tom Sherwood, who has covered the former Mayor since the 1970s, follows up today on News4 at 5 and 6.

Look man, Marion Barry is a reg person like all of us, he do shit just like ya’ll do shit, and i do shit. it comes with the territory of BEING HUMAN. leave him alone, and realize that he is and will continue to be the best mayor we have ever had. you see these dudes they have had after him?? COMPLETE CORNBALLS. so give him the respect he’s due, and laugh when he gets caught doing something like this and proudly say “thats my crack-smokin, woman chasing mayor” gotta love it. IM OUTTTT!

I wish folks would stop using his good works from 20 years ago as evidence he is a good politician. This is proof positive that DC sucks major a$$ at picking leaders.

[...] Stalking the mystery of Marion Barry. Listen to Leon: I hate to totally vilify Barry because he’s done a lot of good things for underserved people of the DC community that gets little to no press, but until he gets his personal demons under control he’s going to continue being the butt of jokes.

Poor ole Marion is still a mess. When I lived on Capitol Hill, there were always women around the neighborhood he was trying to get busy with.

There was a time when he was a great city leader, charismatic and caring about people. Then the drugs hit him and it all turned to sh!t.

I saw on the news that this time he was arrested by the Park Police while sitting in his car watching the woman. Creepy. Hanging in his car seems to get him in a load of crap for the last few years.

I feel badly for Christopher – he loses his sane productive mother and is left with this mess as his only parent.
