Rules Are Meant To Be Broken
In a successful bid to diversify the litany of criminal charges filed against him, Marion Barry was this weekend arrested and charged with misdemeanor stalking (which compliments his standard drugs and corruption routine quite nicely).
The unfortunate object of his unrequited lust was a woman in Anacostia Park, who flagged down a Park Police officer to arrest the criminal-cum-politician.
I guess it’s understandable in a way – it was 4 July, and how is Barry supposed to enjoy himself when denied the pleasures of crack cocaine/prostitutes/tax evasion? Stalking some random woman is clearly the next step in that sequence.
Not that I’m wishing for an imminent demise, but I hope to God that Barry will donate his body to science when (if, given his luck?) the time comes. Think of all the medical breakthroughs that would be made.
Through life-long practise and dedication, he’s become (kinda) immune to drugs, STDs and the law. Barry, you hold more answers than even you know.

You know, I almost…ALMOST…wrote about this clown today, but I’m just too fixated on Obugger and his decreasing value…but Marion “The Spoon” Barry’s always great fodder, so my hat goes off to you, Crat Tracker!

If you ever see a copy of The Onion’s brilliant “Our Dumb Century”, they have a headline from the ’90s:
Marion Berry re-elected on “Let’s all smoke crack” platform.

Shouldn’t MB have been named czar of something by now?

I got the current sequence. But what might he do next? Great post!

Seriously, shouldn’t he be in Obie’s cabinet? At least he was in an upscale area doing his stalking; it coulda just been run of the mill Rock Creek Park or window-peeping in the duplex row houses on New Hampshire Avenue in Langley/Takoma…much safer to stalk in Anacostia

Scumbag to say the least.

..hey, throttle back, you people! The guy can’t be blamed. After all, “the bitch set [him] up!”

According to today’s standards, isn’t this pretty lame behavior for today’s modern liberal?
