only in DC, only in DC

As quoted in today's Metro Express:

"There is a certain unwritten code in Washington, among the underworld and the hustlers and these others guys that I am their friend," [Marion] Barry said.

Marion Berry, former DC major and (former?) heroin addict and now current Ward 8 Council Member.

You are a friend of the underworld Mr. Barry? Does anyone see what is wrong with that statement? And why would Ward 8, who is full of huslters, thugs and the like, who cry out for help in reducing crime, increasing education and increasing police presence ELECT someone who is a 'friend of the underworld?"


things that make you go hmmmmmmm
