We hope a few current and former D.C. Council members didn’t storm the WTOP newsroom with pitchforks today. Reporter Mark Segraves penned a sort of comedy post for his far too rarely updated Malcontent Minute blog/online column where he suggests casting choices for a movie about local D.C. politics. Naturally, the story would revolve around Marion Barry, and he picks Don Cheadle to play the flamboyant former mayor and current Council member, which sounds about right. But the ladies of the D.C. Council don’t fare quite as well with Segraves in the casting chair. He chooses the not exactly well-liked (and not exactly an actress) Star Jones of The View to play Linda Cropp, even going so far as to mention that she’d need to get her gastric bypass reversed to pull off the role. Perhaps even more harsh is his suggestion that former Golden Girl Bea Arthur should play Carol Schwartz. Bea Arthur is 86 years old, while Schwartz is only 64. Brutal. Other, less totally mean casting suggestions include Russell Simmons as Anthony Williams, Hillary Swank as Cathy Lanier, and Morgan Freeman plus 50-pounds as Charles Ramsey.
