Although this is just an initial report, it looks like former DC Mayor and Council member Marion Barry has passed away. He was a very colorful(and controversial) figure in the District's history!

RIP! Sad

In death, perhaps just as in life, may the bitch eternally set him up.  It's what he would have wanted.

In the end, the drug habits get everyone.

RIP

Any idea when/If the special election for his DC City Council (8th Ward) seat will be?

Can you OD on crack?  This is not something you hear about very often.

One of the last big city black mayors we have had in Washington, Dinkins and Marion Berry. But, did a great disservice to community organizers like Obama when he did what he did on drugs. RIP Marion Berry.

He was actually a pretty cool guy until the 1980s; his problem is that he wasn't ready for the huge success and power (for someone of his background) he found himself with.

I heard that once he got past St. Peter's Gate, Marion Barry encountered an elderly white man who slipped him a bag of crack rocks and asked him to hold onto them for a friend.

That elderly white man's name was Ronald Reagan.
