Marion Barry Blames the Gays for Ethics Investigation

What to do when you're Marion Barry, backed in to a corner on gay rights and — once again — facing criminal allegations? Blame the gays!

Like us, Barry loves himself a good conspiracy theory. The disgraced former mayor and (inexplicable) sitting city councilman, who went on a bender protesting Washington D.C.'s decision to recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions (a move he supported, then later criticized), now faces ethics complaints on another matter from colleague David Catania.

Oh, you weren't aware Mr. Catania is gay. Because Barry is. And it's Catania's sexuality that has him targeting Barry! That is, of course, if you believe Barry's version of things.

Catania was one of the leaders in the marriage recognition bill, and now has his sights set on legalizing gay marriage in D.C. itself.

On the side, he's going after Barry with allegations his office misappropriated city grant dollars. Barry insists nothing's the matter, and Catania is acting on his Big Gay Agenda to target opponents to his marriage efforts.

Which could be true! But also: Barry has no track record of truth telling! He's been exposed as a liar, crack head, cheater, and, of course, a bigot. We're kind of okay with making his life miserable, especially if he's engaged in (yet another round of) fraud.

Man up Marion baby, blame the crack pipe, cocaine abuse, liquor and other poor choices in your life for stalking this woman. To blame the gays is as delusional as thinking you were ever a real politician or the fact that any real woman would want you without being paid.

It's no more sane/rational and true than blaming gay marriage for the decline of straight marriage. No more insane than blaming gays for "the decline of morals," or society. And, it appeals to people who are too cowardly to take responsibility for their own misdeeds.

I still love the fact that he claims his arrest was not his fault because he was "Set Up". Um, Barry…nobody Pushed that Crack-pipe into your mouth.

Lastly, he still claims that he took Washington DC from being a Sleepy Southern town to a thriving metropolis. No Marion, you took DC from being a sleepy southern town to being a non-functioning, Bankrupt, crack infested, murder capital of the country.

Not that I'm a huge fan of Congress, but when Congress took over DC, it was running around a 500 million dollar deficiet. Within one year it banked a 100 million dollar budget surplus. Barry is an inefectual buffoon who only gets elected by tricking his ever shrinking constituency with phony conspiracy charges and free hand-outs. Mayor Williams and Fenty did a great deal in undoing some of the damage this idiot did to DC, but thig guy should be embarassed to ever show his face.
