Former DC Mayor Marion Barry Dead at 78

PJ Media:

“Former District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry, whose four terms were overshadowed by his 1990 arrest after being caught on videotape smoking crack cocaine, died Sunday morning,” AP reports in a breaking story:

 

Barry D.C. council spokeswoman LaToya Foster says he died shortly after midnight Sunday at a hospital in Washington. He had battled kidney problems stemming from diabetes and high blood pressure and underwent a kidney transplant in February 2009.

To its credit, AP’s article does focus on when it all went wrong for Barry…

During much of the period between 1984 and 1990, Barry was under federal investigation for his ties to drug suspects. He consistently denied using drugs, but his late-night partying began to take a toll on his job performance.

Ah the passing of a great man!
some sarcasm may be present

B*tch set me up . . . . I shouldn't have come up here . . . g**damn b*tch.

 

Outside of the killings, DC has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.

 

What right does Congress have to go around making laws just because they deem it necessary?

 

I am clearly more popular than Reagan. I am in my third term. Where's Reagan? Gone after two! Defeated by George Bush and Michael Dukakis no less.
