A bronze, larger-than-life statue of late D.C. politician Marion Barry was unveiled Saturday on Pennsylvania Avenue, memorializing the controversial so-called “Mayor for Life” mere blocks from the White House outside the city building where he worked during his decades in public office.

Erected outside the John A. Wilson Building, the seat of D.C. local government, the eight-foot-tall statue portraying a smiling, waving Barry constitutes “a fitting tribute in this city that he so loved,” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said at Saturday afternoon’s unveiling.
wow..

The one and only.

I'm all for this statue, but only if the pedestal is inscribed with "B**ch set me up..."

Chris Rock had one of the funniest bits ever back on his "Bring the Pain" special... talking about the Million Man March and Marion Barry.

Ummmm, he tells it better than I do. Watch the special. :?

I find it fascinating that people support a man who was doing things for which his police force was arresting, and in some cases KILLING, the general public.

If you TEACH people to be stupid from childhood, sometimes you succeed.

More than sometimes. Remember, Hillary won the popular vote.
