We Will Be Fooled Again
Today's William Raspberry column perfectly represents those Ward 8 voters who lined up behind Marion Barry as their Councilman. Mr. Raspberry is asking Barry to lead the City out of its past history of failing schools and adult illiteracy.
Yet in the past when these problems were building what was the Mayor doing? Let me spell it out.
>>> Giving away resident's hard earned money and federal dollars to his friends
as gifts toward buying his re-election.
>>> Smoking crack in a downtown hotel room.
>>> Spending his days locked in a jail cell.
>>> Cruising around Buzzards Point looking for a way to get high.
>>> Shamelessly using the race issue as a distraction from his embarrassing record.
Its going to be a long long 4 years.
