That guy's a real piece of work. Who's his mentor--Jesse Jackson?

You are aware that Marion Barry is a former Memphian?

If he dood it like in the picher, clearing his name will be a task akin to cleaning the Augean stables, but sans Hercules.

When I first read this on Yahoo, there was nothing about his political affiliation, although they did mention that of some other senators quoted. I had to come here to confirm my suspicions that he was a Dem.

He is and has been a disgrace to Memphis.

My guess would be that it wont be long before Jesse, Al and the ACLU are all over this, defending this poor, misunderstood man.

I can not believe the Judge released him and if house arrest was issued, it should have been at his place residence that is on record, his office! Since his other 2 houses are out of his district.

FYI, his OFFICIAL residential is the Ford family funeral home. You're right about he should have been ordered to reside in his official crib. Now that he's reigned, how fitting it would have been. To have to stay in a funeral home having to deal with the death of his political career. The thing that makes me ROTFLMAO is the fact that he HAS NO MORE POWER. All that ended today. Was it worth it, John? Can't wait for the guilty conviction. I'll have a bottle of bubbly iced down for the event.

I just wish they'd waltz over to California and put a few of ours behind bars!

The death threat didn't help.

Glad you pointed that out! You are so right, I forgot he no longer has an office and yes it would be fitting.

Thank you for your response, I have to admit it did put a very big grin on my face.

I do applaud the FBI for the exceptional work they have done.

FYI: One of the several politicians arrested is a Republican. State Rep. Chris Newton. Too early to tell which is guilty and which is innocent.

For those who are guilty, shame, shame, shame!

Most criminals are Dims- That's why they want felons to be able to vote.

"During his tenure in the state Senate, John Ford has lost paternity lawsuits, given a political job to a girlfriend, used campaign money for his daughter's wedding and been successfully sued for sexual harassment."

When asked for a statement, former President Bill Clinton choked back tears, "He's a man after my own heart."
