Marion Barry has just been arrested again, this time for stalking a woman. Other run-ins Barry has had with the law are:

1) Busted for smoking crack in1990.

2) Busted for having traces of weed and cocaine in his car in 2002.

3) Busted for driving too slow, apparently because he was stoned, in 2006.

4) Busted for cheating on his taxes in 2005.

5) His probation for cheating on his taxes was extended until 2011, after he cheated on his taxes again last year.

One question - Do the people of DC get it yet, or are they still going to continue to support this crook?

Well either they are not tired of it, or they feel the people up against him are worse.

Since I am not living in DC, I can't tell you. I am stunned either way.

I am stunned that they are this ignorant or that the people running against him are worse than he is.

Either way, I am stunned.
 
Not to be very un-PC (yeah, right), but if my understanding of the area is correct, even if he does these things, he still might be a better person than some in the District of Columbia.

Might they be voting for him because it doesn't make them look as bad?

/end very un-PC :mrgreen:
 
It's time to throw him in prison for an extended stay isn't it? Repeat offender rule?
 
New Orleans re-elected Nagin and Jefferson, so it's no surprise that Barry has been getting away with all this, for all these years.

And people re-elected Bush in 2004, anything can happen.
 
He's supposed to represent the people of D.C., right? Well, apparently he's doing a good job.

/don't hate, I have a brother in D.C., it's cool

He's like the OJ of politics, he always wiggles out, comes back or whatever. They need to put him in the same clink as OJ.
 
Well I've seen it too many times... its the typical "he's our boy, he can do no wrong" attitude... look at Mayor of Detroit, and how glacial the evidence had to become before there was any outcry, and even then he has many supporters

And then throw away the key to that clink.
 
He's a total embarrassment to the Democratic Party and Washington, DC.

Let's call him a republican. I am sure no one would notice.
 
Sounds like Marion is starting an early campaign for the new DC congressional seat.

No one can deny that if he's elected he'll raise the standards in the House.

He seems quite representative of the political take no responsibility culture of corruption. Blame it on society,people out to get him, his parents, anyone but the offender.
 
The same mentality that supports Barry is standing in a long line somewhere to pay tribute to another fine balck man....................... Michael Jackson.
 
How women find him appealing is beyond me. He's an idiot, too.

There's an article about his "women" history in today's Washington Post. He gets divorced from one woman and marries the next one within a year (he did this twice). One woman (not his wife) donated a kidney to him when he underwent a transplant last year. WTH?
