Mayor Adrian Fenty and Mayor for Life Marion Barry might need a little dose of humility with their morning tea, we think. Over the weekend we found out that Barry will once again dodge prison time for not paying his taxes for five years, and instead will face another two more years of probation. But rather than gracefully accept the ruling, the Post reports, Barry has accused U.S. prosecutors of harboring a vendetta against him and has demanded that their actions be investigated. Just as Barry justified his opposition to same-sex marriage by calling himself a “moral” politician a few weeks back, we think maybe it’s time for the Ward 8 council man to not try and turn everything into a spectacle. Mayor Fenty might also want to tread a little more carefully. As we wrote earlier this morning, the Post reports that Fenty has allowed a close personal friend to chauffeur him around town in the mayoral SUV, possibly violating city regulations in the process. Is the mayor’s buddy allowed to drive Fenty around? “He is if I let him,” claims the mayor. We’re guessing we aren’t the only ones reminding the mayor today that laws aren’t deemed applicable or not based on the mood of the city’s chief executive.
