Marion Barry, the former mayor caught smoking crack on an FBI videotape I love how this phrase is part of the AP style book.

Mayormarionbarrymayorforlife is incredibly popular in Ward 8.
This gentleman used to put on his jogging togs and cruise through the streets. He would spread his favors among a fawning crowd of elderly and beefy looking women with abandon.
Most politicians wouldn't think that sex could be used to get votes, but in a community of single women, many of whom were on welfare, and with a very high imprisonment rate for the men, it worked.
Although Mayormarionbarrymayorforlife has had prostate surgery, his popularity in Ward 8 remains intact.

Well, I guess he can't say the b---h set me up to lose the election... And at least I can laugh at the voters in Washington D.C., who are even worse than the voters here (one of the few places I can actually say that about).

Marion Barry, gram-for-gram, is one of the finest politicians you'll ever see. ;)

One day that snake pit (Wash DC) is going to have to be cleaned out. It's a national disgrace. It's going to take some tough politicians who are not afraid of a political backlash to do it.

You wonder how much dumber DC voters can get - they can't see the connection between electing Barry to their horrendous crime problems. What a role model for their children: "Sure honey you can do crack and become mayor of DC someday too!"

And once again DC voters decide to try shooting themselves in the foot again-- 'Maybe this time it will fell good!'

I think Congress can revoke the districts self-governance at any time.
Anyone know about that? I'm just going on a dim recollection that Congress was responsible for the governance of D.C.

Barry does add the humor factor to politics. Allegedly back in the '80s or early '90s he tried to have sugar declared as a controlled substance but allegedly was pressured to drop it. And then there were all the Barry jokes.

That was my thought! No wonder DC has such a bad crime problem - there are no consequences to being a criminal.

As I read this I began hearing Peggy Lee singing ... "Is That All There Is"... in my head.
"Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is"

Some guys in Congress are thinking of lifting the gun ban in DC so that the few law-abiding citizens can now defend their homes and lives.

Everybody who knows anything about Ward 8, Mayormarionbarrymayorforlife, and his use of "sex" as a campaign tool knows very well that he was enticed to use cocaine by a woman offering him sex ~ it wasn't the other way around!
Even the FBI guys knew that.
In fact, the FBI guys could have used a really beefy (and ugly) woman to entice the Mayor, but it's unlikely she would have gone along with them on this once she knew who the target was. Recall that the woman in the case had other legal problems that made it possible for the FBI to manipulate her.

I lived just north of DC when Barry was re-elected after doing time. I could not stand it and moved to a state where the Democrats aren't crooks... New Jersey. Yep.., it seems I went from bad to worse.

My loneliness is killing me
I must confess I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
