Did the bitch set him up? Washington D.C. City Councilman Marion Barry, who’s devoted the last few weeks to rallying against the city’s recognition of same-sex marriage from other jurisdictions, just added to his controversy hash marks. Barry was arrested last night on stalking allegations, made by a woman who says the former mayor was “bothering her.” Barry is expected to deny the charges in typical fashion: He’s calling a press conference tomorrow.

Kudos to DC for supporting marriage, and of course kudos to New England and Iowa too. It’s time America.

Obviously, gay marriage made him do it. I’m sure that’s what he’ll say during his press conference. I just hope he’s as staid and coherent as Palin and Standford have been.
With enemies like these, who needs friends?

I can’t stop laughing long enough to really say much.

This guy really is the gift that keeps on giving. I’m actually glad he’s against gay marriage,he can help us a lot more by being on the other side.

It’s just become so cliche for a man who can’t control his own sex life to try to control other people’s.

Can’t remember but when did Marion Barry turn Republican? Or did he always have Republican tendencies? Let’s see-arrests, sex crimes, stalking, anti-gay? Yup! Belongs in the GOP!

Another “bullshit” arrest of Barry. Don’t the DC area police have some real criminals to go after?!?!?
