Washington DC’s affirmative action former mayor, crackhead and all-around lunatic was arrested for stalking a woman in a park over the weekend.
I thought we had problems with our mayor here in Toronto, but even David Miller can’t top this glowing resume:
Barry’s other run-ins with the law have included a federal sting operation in 1990, when he was mayor. Surveillance cameras caught him smoking crack cocaine in a hotel room.
Barry was arrested in 2002 when traces of marijuana and cocaine were found in his car after he was stopped in the Buzzard Point area of Southwest D.C. No charges were filed, and Barry claimed that the drugs were planted.
And in 2006, Park Police officers stopped him for driving too slowly, prompting him to accuse authorities of targeting him. Barry had been on probation since 2005 for not filing or paying income taxes for several years.
Last year he again failed to file a tax return, and his probation was extended to May 2011, according to the Washington City Paper.
With credentials like that, he’s likely to make it to the Treasury or even the SCOTUS under Obama. At the very least he’s qualified to be spiritual adviser to the president, no?
With that sort of background – why is this idiot still the mayor? Or is Obama somehow keeping him in his job? Imagine if a whiteman behaved this way?
