You can’t help but laugh at Marion Barry when it comes to news coverage, as he seems to be the patron saint of some political corollary to Murphy’s Law: what can be caught, will be caught… and covered on a national level.
His most recent faux pas was to test positive for cocaine use in the fall after failing court ordered drug tests following misdemeanor tax violations. WaPo has the full story (via Wonkette).
Funny enough, if Barry would reverse his views on gun control, we could probably claim his tax-dodging, drug-using ass as a libertarian.
