WUSA9.com is teasing a Bruce Johnson interview with Marion Barry in which the mayor-for-life reportedly admits he failed to file his 2007 income tax return, and then says he failed to do so because he was distracted by a serious medical condition. What serious medical condition might that be? Was it serious enough that Barry should have disclosed it before he ran for reelection to represent Ward 8 on the D.C. Council last year? Naturally, WUSA9 is urging you to tune in tonight to find out. We'll be sure to update once we get a peek at the interview.

to quote a friend, "eff that"
always gotta blame someone else for your shortcomings, eh, barry. what a leader.
give me a break.
Problem is, Barry was supposed to get a tattoo on his hand that says, "remember to pay taxes." Instead, it says "remember sammy jankis." Now, he's driving around in a Jag beating up drug dealers.
In a bold gambit, Barry is creating a legal precedent with a variation on "the Twinkie defense" i.e., the "I ate too many babies with mambo sauce defense."
Check and mate.
a condition that he had forgotten when interviewed earlier this week. Give me a break. Would any other US citizen be excused for not filing due to a wicked hangover and hooker aftertaste stuck to the roof of one's mouth?
Should have stolen Geithner's line and blamed the computer..
I don't see Barry using TurboTax or other tax software. I see him as a pencil and paper man.
TurbHo Tax? 'Cos ho's gotta pay taxes too!
"peek" not "peak"
bitch, medical condition set me up!
is crack addiction a medical condition?
toss this ass clown in jail already.
Maybe he's holding out for a Cabinet post.
If the tax return don't fit, you must acquit.
Or something.
Good luck comparing yourself to Jesus now. At least Jesus paid his taxes.
Edit: Barry Admits Not Paying Taxes, Blames Medical Condition, Bitch
Both he and Phelphs should put down the bong. Studies have proved that reefer has an effect on your short. term. memory...uh, ummm. What was I saying???
Maybe he has testicular cancer. Although at this point I think Phelps has more to worry about than Barry.
Ooooooooooooh. Ouch. I feel for you guys.
Seriously, let's send this crook out to pasture. Unless the medical condition is dementia or the early stages of Alzheimer's (in which case he shouldn't be in office, anyway), his excuse is plain 'ol bull.
That Ward 8 puts up with - and rewards - his tomfoolery is very, very sad.
Taxoplasmosis?
Shit, it worked for Richard Pryor..
"I went to jail for tax evasion. I didn't know a motherfuckin' thing about no income tax. I told the judge: 'Your Honor, I forgot!' He said, 'You'll remember next time [unprintable]!'
Send him to prison, the man looks like he could use a blow job.
Let me get this straight. 2007 tax returns were due on 15 April 2008. Since then, Mr. Barry has been just SO busy with Council work and feeling his liver that he just hasn't had the time to fill out a simple form. Simple, I'm thinking, because I believe he now rents an apartment, and his son is way beyond being a dependent. This man is way past his usefullness to the city, and more importantly to the residents of Ward 8. He broke the law and he is still on probation from previous offenses. He can get dialysis in jail.
i really like the info at this post.. thanks!!!
