With this WWE-style video, recorded by the City Paper, of Ron Moten chasing Vince Gray through the bowels of the WPFW radio studio — be honest, how many of you were expecting a Gray staff member to jump out of a dark corner and wallop Moten with a chair, with Mayor Fenty just getting to the scene moments too late to make the save? — I think we can officially update the status of the mayoral contest from “somewhat unbalanced” to “certifiably nuts.” Observe:

Fenty and Gray had just finished an on-air debate on Jonetta Rose Barras’ radio program. Both candidates got their swipes in — Fenty about Gray’s record as Department of Human Services director and the streetcar snafu, Gray about Fenty’s involvement in the Parks and Rec scandal and cronyism — but Barras managed to keep things generally under control. That is, until Moten called in and eventually had to be cut off.

Buckle up, folks. We’ve got 61 more days of this in store.
