Barry's Magic 8 Ball Says "Fenty"
Marion B!tch Set Me Up Barry ended the suspense yesterday and announced his support for Mayoral candidate Adrian Fenty. Fenty can now count on a surge in support from crack heads, hookers, and the mentally infirmed.
In typical Barry fashion, he didn't bother to coordinate his announcement or messaging with the candidate he was endorsing. From The Post:
The Fenty campaign was caught off guard by Barry's public announcement. Barry's e-mail listed campaign events with Fenty today, but Fenty said he had prior commitments. He added that he has no plans to campaign with Barry before next week's vote.
Barry's endorsement has questionable value, and certainly brings with it some potential downside, which I am sure the anonymous Cropp supporters who comment on this blog will be happy to point out.
More from The Post:
Political analysts said Barry's stamp of approval was not likely to hurt the chances of Fenty (D-Ward 4), who has waged a vigorous 16-month, door-to-door campaign.
"It's an expression of political consensus and a widening of his base," said Ronald Walters, a political scientist at the University of Maryland. Walters said there had been speculation that Cropp (D), the council chairman, might receive Barry's endorsement. Several longtime Barry associates, including Cropp campaign chairman Elijah B. Rogers, are working with her campaign.
Certainly, it was the least valuable endorsement Fenty received yesterday. Yesterday alone Fenty received the endorsement of the Washington Post, the Washington Examiner and Planned Parenthood of Metro Washington. Not a bad day for the Mayoral front-runner (and he still enjoys the half-hearted, half-assed, kinda, sorta endorsement from this blog!).

How can we take Marion Barry seriously....
Here is a guy who was arrested and indicted while in office.
Most importantly, you have to see this....

(This is the funniest thing I have ever seen
“Say no to drugs.” That has been a mantra of politicians since Nancy Reagan told kids to Just say no.
Mayoral candidate Adrian Fenty is apparently ignoring that message.
A political television ad streamed on his campaign website indicate that Mr. Fenty may be hiding a marijuana habit.
This would certainly be ironic, given that Councilmember Fenty serves in a city that has been trying to fix its drug problem.
It is not the ad about Fenty answering his blackberry that exposes him.
The gotcha is the name of the TV ad – Fenty 420.
This is a common codeword for pot. The reference to 420 has to be intentional.
Fenty must know what 420 means.
Is this his way of sending smoke signals or maybe his version of Morse Code asking for help.
Fenty’s next post should be a 12 step program, not the Mayor’s office.
And the proof:

Wow. I can only hope that Carmelita is kidding. Because if she isn't, those tin foil hats she's wearing don't seem to work too well.
How weird... I saw the same video posted on
http://dc.metblogs.com/archives/2006/09/fenty_420_ad_wt.phtml
What is this? Who's Carmelita? I dunno... but I must admit, the video is pretty funny. Fenty and Barry should go smoke out together.
Wow, Carmelita thats some pretty convoluted shit. I ain't sure what the hell that proves, except that maybe you should remember to take your medication.
Just so you know, I am way more concerned that Linda Cropp admits that she doesn't drink - at all. I don't trust folks who don't drink. Generally only two kinds of people don't drink - religious fanatics and addicts. I try not to spend much time with folks who fall into either category.
Liberty...
I think Carmelita's mind is very clear.
That Adrian Fenty is one wierd cat.
Acted kind of distant when he knocked on my sister's door in NE.
In regards to Linda Cropp, drinking means nothing to me.
Cropp is by far more qualified to be mayor than – not because she is older than him, but because she knows what she is doing.
