New BFFs: Michael Jackson and Marion Barry?
According to FOX News, bastion of all things important and impartial, it's true: Michael Jackson and former mayor/D.C. Council member Marion Barry have become good friends recently after being introduced by their mutual friend and publicist, Raymone Bain. Given the fact that Jackson has been actively looking for a vacation home in the area and has been hanging around D.C. this summer with his children, it seems certain this is one of the most important items of news we'll come across all year.
Could this be a friendship built to last? Both men have had a string of failed marriages, and both have been in highly public legal trouble over the years, so they certainly have a number of things in common. Still, we're having a hard time picturing what might go on when these two men get together for a bro sesh. After all, Michael Jackson is basically part-vampire, and has to avoid all sunlight, germs, and anyone sane enough to recognize that he's no longer completely human. Barry, while perhaps made of questionable moral fiber, is nothing if not a man of the people. Just to start with, where in D.C. could they possibly hang out together? It boggles the mind to wonder.
You can be certain that we'll be keeping a careful eye out for Team Barry/Jackson if they ever do make a public appearance as friends -- and if we can't get the wackiest Overheard in D.C. quote out of that eavesdropped conversation, we'll be forced to give up this whole blogging thing once and for all.

"bro sesh"? Is that a real thing someone might say or did you just make that up?
We can call them "Jack and Coke".
Jack: Hey, what should we do today? Molest some young boys?
Coke: Shiiiit, n!&&er! We just did that yesterday. Let's pick up some hookers and snort some coke!
Jack: OK. Then can we climb some trees?
I guess they're both into "crack."
This is positively the worst news to reflect washington, dc's standing in the eyes of late night talk show hosts in the last 10 years.
WTF?!?
#1, i believe "bro-down" is the more common form of the term
I guess they're both into "crack."
True. But Jacko only likes a little crack.
I wonder if they'll be recording together.
oh, please let's hope jacko never becomes mayor. it could happen

Madame Tussaud's.
Barry can look at his likeness, and Jackson can look at other people sculpted from plastic.

Two hours later, and we're already up to 784. Wow, DCist got out ahead of the curve on this one.
I'm up for a little bro sesh. Anyone game? Marion?
Maybe Barry had a 'little bro' in jail to give him comfort and thinks Michael might be available.
Two words baby---Paddle Boats. Or Tidal Basin. Then they can have their so- called "bro-sesh".
Hmm, the Urban Dictionary has it as one word. Interesting.

These 2 fugly law-breakers deserve each other...
But this goes against Marion Barry's lifelong goal of keeping DC black. Jackson hasn't been black in decades.
