I was wondering if they had the Eric Clapton song playing from the base of the statue?

Now the pigeons can crap on someone who really deserves it “Crook for Life” Marion Barry.

By today’s standards, he would have gone to jail for beating his second wife Effie Barry and breaking bones in her face and her nose (according to a woman friend of Effie who saw her in the hospital in Baltimore).

I think the coverup story was that she had fallen and hit her face very hard on the ground or sidewalk.

No one will ever know how much dirty money and perks Barry got from friends during his reign but he would be in competition with the Clintons at today’s dollar rates.

Won’t even mention a Congressman’s investigation of Barry in 1970 concerning it being reported that he had taken a bunch of inner city kids to a leftist’s farm in northern Virginia for rifle practice.

The investigation was dropped when the congressman lost his re-election campaign to a newcomer leftist liberal.

The only thing that should be made to honor his “dishonor” would be a gigantic pot-hole (not pophead which he was) that keeps getting filled and refilled like it was part of “Groundhog Day”.

Well, a lease some pigeons are going to enjoy his statue. As they say in the Middle East, “Piss be upon you, Marion, and the more the merrier”.

I wonder if there is a proposition betting line on the over/under when someone will spray paint Barry’s immortal line somewhere on the statue or its base.

"He was a living legend," said City Councilman Trayon White, during an appearance Thursday on an influential local radio show hosted by Kojo Nnamdi. "Marion Barry was an integral part of getting D.C. where it is today

Mr. White nailed it. "The b___ set me up" should be the motto for the swamp.

In a couple of generations, in a fit of “new correctness” these statues and plaques will be pulled down, much like those of Confederate figures are being pulled down by the current “correctness”.

Think about it. The fashions and passions of the moment are, in the end, quite short-lived.

VERY sad that Liberal Blacks have NO DISCERNMENT!!! It’s a mental disorder based only on politics and color.

Lowest school performance in the nation. Highest Aids/HIV infection rate nationwide.
Marion Barry came to Washington with his rat buddy Stokely Carmichael and the SNCC crowd. Fanned the flames of the DC riots in 1968. Mismanaged the City so badly that a “Control Board” was established to run the City.
Oh yes what a great mayor.

American black culture is sick. OJ, Michael Jackson, rappers & athletes, crooked pols, unholy religious leaders, cop-killers, anti-smites... Most of the most beloved black leaders 50 years ago would have been jailed or ostracized. Now they are revered.

Think I’ll head into NYC today and look for the Statue of Mayor Jimmy Walker. What? No statues of criminal Mayors you say? Shucks.
