Just when you thought the streets and alleys of D.C. were becoming safer… he’s back!
Yes, Marion Barry, the drug-addled former mayor of Washington; the man who made it safe for corruption in city government; the man who was videotaped smoking crack in a hotel room, but claimed innocence; the man who never did anything wrong, but was the victim of corrupt police… yep, he’s running for city council again.
He now alleges (giggle) that drugs found in his car in 2002 (snicker) while he was parked in a seedy part of town at night (chortle) were planted there (guffaw) by the U.S. Park Police. Yes, the Park Police.
It’s not like the FBI descended on him, weapons drawn.
