Complete Headline: Son of controversial Washington ex-mayor Marion Barry runs for his late father's DC Council seat while undergoing drug and alcohol treatment
The only son of Marion Barry, a former Washington mayor who once left office in disgrace after being caught smoking crack cocaine, is seeking his late father's seat on the D.C. Council.
Marion Christopher Barry, 34, picked up nominating petitions Monday at the District of Columbia Board of Elections. His father suffered a fatal cardiac arrest last November aged 78.
The son, who currently runs a small construction company, becomes one of 23 candidates bidding to make the ballot for an April special election for the council seat.

The younger Barry has been arrested three times on drug and traffic charges, most recently last July, when he was jailed after he was caught driving on a revoked license.
He pleaded guilty to that charge in December and is currently serving nine months' probation and undergoing drug and alcohol treatment.

'I paid a great price for that and I've learned from my mistakes,' Barry said.

I'm especially qualified for the job ... cause I'm a crack head and I already know how to leech off of the government!
If I were a bettor, I would bet that he will easily win electon in DC, and both he and I would make some easy and quick money in the process.
Just like his Daddy. Where’s the Whore?
All he needs are a couple of felony convictions on his résumé and he would be guaranteed an election victory.
It’s all about the name. The voters loved his father, so they will vote for the son. They wouldn’t care if Barry is a mass murderer.
Holy Amy Winehouse ! They wanted him to go to rehab, but he said no, no, no. . . . ;-P
Just like his Daddy. Wheres the Whore?

Where’s the “Bitch Set me up”?
He winning is as good as bet on Sectratriat at the peakness...
He’ll win in a landslide...........................Looks like a Roads Scholar type...........................(sic).............Kinda looks gay, so he’s a two-fer.......................
No, it's all about the voters. Whoever thought that giving the vote to the ghetto was a good idea, should be shot.
So which b#tch will set HIM up?
Decadence and degeneration is no longer a bar to office or to celebrity status(Bill Clinton!)
” Just like his Daddy. Wheres the Whore?”
And the crack!
It’s a requirement for DC.
Definitely right qualifications for DC councilman.
HERE BE MAH PAH
I was thinking about cracking a joke.
“Ghetto” is a figure of speech. The Clintons. For example. I lump them in with ghetto trash.
But, yes, you’re right.
