DC's "Mayor for Life" dies

Marion "Bitch Set Me Up" Barry just passed away. Despite his myriad indiscretions and subsequent prison time, he was a tireless advocate for those in the poor, underserved parts of DC (i.e., Anacostia). He was a character of the first order, loved and despised by the community in which he lived.

RIP Mr. Mayor

Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry passed away yesterday at 78.

Love him or hate him he was a force of nature out of Ward 8 in D.C.
