Mifume was not a paragon of virtue. As I recall, he had 4-5 kids by different women, possibly none of whom he married. Took a once legit NAACP chapter to the Marxist Left and almost destroyed it.

Sexual harassment charges were lodged against him. Possibly misuse of funds too.

He’s smart. Could have been a contender if he had kept his nose clean and his pecker in his paints, yet the white liberals and black political machine (parts are corrupt as hell) backed him and he became a congressman.

Well, in a Democrat run/ruined city, you get what you paid/vote for, in spades and bodies.

She’s a Republican. We’re talking Baltimore City.

Wait: it’s February and they still haven’t finished counting dead people? Sounds like the guys who wrote the Iowa software are doing the counting.

Some of my favorite Wire intro quotes:

‘Deserve got nuthin’ to do with it.’
‘World goin’ one way, people another.’
‘Conscience do cost.’
‘Call it a crisis of leadership.’
‘A man must have a code.’
‘Come at the king, you best not miss.’
‘They can chew you up, but they gotta spit you out.’
‘Don’t matter how many times you get burnt, you just keep doin’ the same.’

and

‘Business. Always business.’

What a great show.

McNulty could be a real pig at times but he always saw the big picture.
