The Nationals finally won a game last night (8-2 over the world champion Phillies!), but it looks like members of the D.C. Council weren't there to enjoy it. No, instead, the epically ridiculous, second-year-in-a-row Mayor/Council dispute over friggin' baseball tickets is still going on. This morning, Council chair Vince Gray showed up on FOX 5 to give the mayor a big fat spanking over the whole thing. The local news station does a nice job juxtaposing clips of Fenty from his appearance yesterday, looking sweaty, irritated and irrational, with cool as a cucumber Gray, who calmly explains that the mayor is crazy if he thinks he can describe his relationship with the Council as "fantastic." Take a look.

I can't believe they are still reporting on this!!
Did the impossible just happen, did a member of the DC Council make the mayor look like a pathetic, two-bit hack? Fenty seems to be devolving before our eyes into some sort of sub-Council functionary. Fenty: proof that it's possible to descend to one's level of incompetence, not just ascend to it.
Despite it being a non-issue, it makes Fenty look more and more like a future one-termer. Barbara Harrison on NBC made him look like bumbling fool yesterday morning on her Talk to the Mayor segment. I've never seen a politician deflect questions so poorly as Fenty.
For Fenty to be a one-termer, someone who can beat him would have to run against him in 2010. Have you seen any evidence of such a person on the horizon?
Nice blue police box!
If Vincent Gray wants some free love, he should get a dog.
I haven't seen this many dildos since the buy-3-get-3-free sale at The Pleasure Chest.
They are doing a great job of exposing DC as the "Banana Republic" that is really is...
Next stop: Reality TV!
Please don't let this hit the humor reels of the national news outlets, there is enough for DC government to never live down... baseball tickets? Really?
tickets are like $10, you're telling me the Council can't afford their own?! I call bullsh*t.
The lot of them look like spoiled misbehaving children. There should be no free tickets for any of them.
This looks like a job for...Captain Teabag!

Whommp there it is! Fenty looks like a dope for trying to pull some sort of power move over free tickets and the council looks equally stupid for taking their little slap fight public. All of them should be trying to keep their little perq off the public's radar.
No. One. Cares.
You have GOT to be kidding me. Why do they even want the tickets? Seriously... maybe if the team was actually worth watching.
They're only going to turn around and sell the tickets on eBay anyway. Everyone involved deserves a free meal at La Junquepuncherie Francais.
I have watched the Fox 5 story over and over and I am convinced that the mayor is having a personal crisis that a urine test might answer
