Comedy Gold: I Guess the B—h Set His Son Up, Too
[Guest post by Aaron Worthing; if you have tips, please send them here. Or by Twitter @AaronWorthing.]
Marion Barry’s son has been arrested for…
wait for it…
…possession of drugs. Yes, really:
The younger Barry was arrested May 28 after neighbors reported yelling and sounds of fighting inside his apartment in the 4300 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SW, according to charging documents.
When police arrived, according to the documents, Barry refused to open the door, jumped out of his first-floor apartment window and ran, leaving blood on the floor.
Inside the apartment, the charging documents said, police found five sandwich bags determined to contain marijuana, as well as a vial three-quarters full of a liquid later determined to be PCP.
Barry later returned to the apartment, where he was treated for a bleeding foot and arrested, the documents said. While in the apartment, police seized his passport and mail, according to the charging documents.
Oh my, the crack pipe just doesn’t fall that far from the tree (allegedly), now does it?

your article says he hadn’t paid his rent for June. Maybe that’s why he had to sell pcp-laced marijuanas I bet. It’s hard out there cause there ain’t no jobs. Obama isn’t creating jobs he’s spending all his time yelling at Eric Cantor and pouting cause of people won’t let him raise taxes.
happyfeet (a55ba0) — 7/14/2011 @ 1:02 pmThis is convenient as one can inherit your family’s older pyrex measuring cups. The new ones are no good for making crack rock.
Think globally and act locally when it comes to conserving the tools of making crack rock. That’s what the Barry family always says.
Dustin (b7410e) — 7/14/2011 @ 1:08 pmHe wanted to take a crack at it like daddy!
∅ (e7577d) — 7/14/2011 @ 1:22 pmIt’s sad in a way. You would think his father’s fate would have provided a cautionary tale about using drugs.

Aw, boys like to do stuff with their dads, and to emulate their dads and sometimes to compete with their dads. You know– hunting, fishing, sailing, baseball games, bar-b-queing, crack cocaine—
elissa (8bb103) — 7/14/2011 @ 1:31 pmShow some respect for Mayor Barry. He survived being shot in the chest by a Muslim terrorist with a shotgun. He should be treated like a man, not a national joke.
The bitch did set up Mayor Barry. It was a setup and he had no interest in smoking crack. Take one hit froma crack pipe after being goaded into it, and you’re nothing but a crackhead, your whole life is just a joke, apparently.
And why are you so gleeful over the misfortunes of a politician’s child?

Dustin (b7410e) — 7/14/2011 @ 1:39 pmC’mon daryl, you know you want to do a Bristol Palin joke. It’s all the rage!
∅ (e7577d) — 7/14/2011 @ 1:40 pmIn fairness, Daryl is right that Marion Barry has been heroic in the past.
But it’s not possible to set up an honest man to smoke crack. He wasn’t able to be a role model, so he’s unfit to lead. Nothing unfair about his reputation.
Dustin (b7410e) — 7/14/2011 @ 1:43 pmAll of America’s great political families seem to have the same problems. The Barrys. The Gores. The Carters. The Clintons. The Kennedys. It’s sad!
Birdbath (19803d) — 7/14/2011 @ 1:54 pmCould we speak to your other brother Daryl, the one that does a great Harpo Marx impression?

Well done and can’t imagine a better reply.

Pavian (6387db) — 7/14/2011 @ 2:59 pmAn yes Marion Barry was shot by a muslim terrorist registered as a dem so that means his son is the next jesus or something right Darryl?
DohBiden (15aa57) — 7/14/2011 @ 3:08 pmAll in the family.
PatAZ (a0589c) — 7/14/2011 @ 4:24 pmyeah, sorry, but… barry is a national joke. all the good he did lost when he decided to smoke crack.
Aaron Worthing (73a7ea) — 7/14/2011 @ 5:09 pmYeah but he was shot by a muslim jihadist so his son can do no wrong

snow all he sayin’
All hope is not gone for him–his case might be assigned to one of the federal prosecutors who just “handled” the Roger Clemens case.
M. Scott Eiland (44692b) — 7/14/2011 @ 8:23 pmSomeone should tell Marion Barry’s son that it ain’t mice to call Debbie Wasserman-Schultz a bitch.
DohBiden (15aa57) — 7/14/2011 @ 8:35 pmnice*
DohBiden (15aa57) — 7/14/2011 @ 8:38 pmRecall Bill Maher’s joke: “Marion Barry has a plan to get drugs off the streets of DC–one gram at a time.”
His son is the current phase of the plan!
Nate Whilk (3a4ff2) — 7/14/2011 @ 9:51 pmI’m sure Bill Maher regrets that joke.
DohBiden (15aa57) — 7/14/2011 @ 9:56 pmok so Bristol Palin walks into a bar and the bartender says no, silly… I was talking to the duck!
happyfeet (3c92a1) — 7/14/2011 @ 10:19 pm“Show some respect for Mayor Barry.”
No.
Dave Surls (6b5f5a) — 7/14/2011 @ 10:22 pmOk so Happyfeet walks in on an idiot contest and the contest host says sorry we don’t allow professionals.
DohBiden (15aa57) — 7/14/2011 @ 11:00 pmA christer hoochie walks…well anywhere. What? That is the joke!
sadhand (e7577d) — 7/15/2011 @ 3:11 amNishi, I LURVS YOU! Please respond so I can have validation of my existence.

Only half-joking here when I say that happyfeet IMO has told a very good joke by quite nicely encapsulating the nonsequiturs + clearly ridiculous statements that the Palin women seem to continually inspire in the far left, merely by “being in the room,” as it were.
no one you know (b4310d) — 7/15/2011 @ 5:16 amHis vagina is in perpetual menstration. They’ve yet to invent one to stem his flow.
sadhand (e7577d) — 7/15/2011 @ 6:25 amYou shoulda said “The apple bong doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Leviticus (42da7f) — 7/15/2011 @ 6:53 am“It was a setup and he had no interest in smoking crack.”–some doofus
Yeah?
His own attorney admitted in court that he was a cocaine user.
“I want your respect, and I want you to be able to follow the evidence as we summarize it for you, and so I will start right from the beginning by telling you that we do not intend to indicate or claim that Mr. Barry did not use cocaine.
“We do not mean for one moment to give you the impression that there was not a use of cocaine, occasional use of cocaine by Mr. Barry during the period in time that we have evidence about.”–WAPO
Now, go back to whatever fantasy world it is that you reside in.
