Morning Roundup: Black Friday Edition
Both D.C. Wire and WJLA have updates on the health of former mayor and Ward 8 D.C. Council member Marion Barry, who was hospitalized early Tuesday morning to be treated for "dehydration," according to his spokesperson. Barry remained in Howard University Hospital's intensive care unit on Wednesday, according to both reports, and will likely not be discharged for at least a "few days." Seems kind of extreme for a case of dehydration, but considering Barry's age and health (he's 73, has diabetes and recently underwent kidney transplant surgery), we suppose it makes sense for his doctors to be overly cautious. Barry spokesperson Natalie Williams elaborated to WJLA that Barry's doctor also diagnosed the councilman with a mild infection.

Marion, listen to me. Do not go into the light. Stop where you are. Turn away from it. Don't even look at it!
NO NO! You fool!
Barry go into the light! The light is very good! You will be rewarded with all the crack and hookers you can handle--GO INTO THE LIGHT!!!
The old coot wouldn't be in the hospital if he'd lay off the crack pipe and stop motor-boating retired prostitutes....

Yeah, that gonorrhea is not something to joke around about.
Nor anything to clap about.
Just ventilate some rock for him, that'll have him back on his feet in no time flat.

I just sent him an FTD salt-lick bouquet.
Whatever. He's been sick for a long time now. My guess would be that he checked himself in because the rest of the council would have found his presence... inconvenient... at the Hartsock hearings.
