I remember when I lived in DC, the Post published a picture of him waving at the camera with only one finger. That morning, a woman called into a local radio station and said - 'that wasn't an obscene gesture, it was a campaign promise!'

<grin!>

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

Who can forget this classic Marion Barry after he was arrested that made citizens of DC oh so proud:

"First, it was not a strip bar, it was an erotic club. And second, what can I say? I'm a night owl. Bitch set me up."

If you consider his home to be a crackhouse, which is likely right on the money.

How the hell did he get the 4th term? He must have a seriously great personality and smile.

Maybe they offered to sell him some rocks, but ripped him off.

He has popularity because of the color of his skin....it's a largely black area....he could smoke crack, bang a hooker in public, steal a car and run from the cops, and still get elected.

It would probably get him more votes
