Good morning, D.C. Things really heated up at the Wilson Building yesterday, as we noted in yesterday’s Go Home Already, and WTOP’s Mark Segraves was a lean, mean, tweetin’ machine. Of note, Segraves provided the news that Councilmembers David Catania (I-At-Large) and Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3) “stormed out of [Chairman Vincent G]ray[‘s] press confrence,” and that Catania “[said] he ‘can’t take anymore’ as Bar[r]y was defending his actions.”

The updates didn’t stop there, as more details about the drama continued to trickle in throughout the evening. Around midnight last night, Segraves tweeted with the news that sources had confirmed that Marion Barry apologized to his fellow Councilmembers (according to the City Paper, Barry almost cried during his private apology), but that he told them that he wouldn’t be apologizing to the public. Barry’s refusal to apologize to the public likely helps to explain why Catania and Cheh felt so disgusted — but to be honest, one doesn’t have to try too hard to be disgusted with the Mayor For Life’s recently revealed improprieties.
