From CNN.com, 2005...

In 1990, the FBI busted Washington, D.C., Mayor Marion Barry for crack cocaine. Today, the 68-year-old self-proclaimed "mayor for life" is back in politics, serving on the D.C. City Council. ...

In January 1990 Barry's political reign came to an abrupt halt when he was caught on video in an FBI sting operation smoking crack cocaine with a woman at the Vista Hotel. The incident -- played over and over on cable television -- produced what is perhaps the most memorable quote of Barry's long career: "The bitch set me up."

Should Marion Barry go to jail for failing -- yet again -- to file his tax returns?

His last stint in the clink didn't seem to have much of an impact on the former mayor. As recently as 2005, he tested positive for marijuana and cocaine use. And in 2002, U.S. Park Police said they found crack cocaine and pot in Barry's Jaguar.

Barry, a product of Memphis, Tennessee. Just wait till they send Willie Harrington to D.C.. He will make Barry look like a saint.

No, he's a leftist.

Another 15 or 20 and possibly.

I am once again asking for a new forum “Tabloid News” where such fluff as this can be posted and leered over.

as sure as the sun comes up, every black politican I have ever known is crooked... and “entitled because of his/her color”.

You obviously have never met Barb Davis White of Minneapolis. She is a lady and conservative in every sense of the word. Get a clue.

This will never stick because he's got diplomatic immunity since he lives in the virtual Republic of New Africa.

Isn’t he the crook that got caught on tape buying drugs? Also, back in the mid-70s didn’t a VA radio DJ get into hot water by saying on the air that Barry’s wife looks white?

This guy was a major political figure in DC. Why should his antics be hidden on some back page? And these aren't mere 'rumors', but facts.
