Funny how much of the gossip, rumors and insinuation in these comment sections are found to be true a week or so later. LL, get on it! You know other reporters are reading your articles and these comments for their leads!

Hi Tom, Nikkita, Tim and Roby!

fedupcitizen, I don't work for fenty and don't have any pending contracts. However, from all this gossip and insinuation, all I need to do is give some money to his campaign, go running with him, and BLAM I got a contract for something. Journalism should state the facts and leave it at that. This story is on the fringes of gossip, inspiring folks to "speculate" and invent "copy". Basically, this column is what current media uses to "get more milage" out of a story (pardon the pun). Thanks "actually" and "XXX" for supporting my point of other DC officials taking home vehicles ALL WITHIN THE LAW. Lemme guess, the next installment will talk about what Credit Card Fenty used to pay for the infraction.

Okie dokie, MPD (cops) and FEMS (firefighters/paramedics) have take home vehicles being that the nature/scope of their work often involves middle of the night or early morning emergencies.

Exactly what late night emergency is the mayor's "personal assistant" tending to?

Point of Correction, LL.

Several MPD and FEMS brass, do in fact have take home vehicles, all within the law.

Any other momentous issue LL's been undercovering?

Yup, public land giveaways. It should be a bigger scandal than OTR and OCTO, not to mention the fire equipment. This penny-ante crap, while revealing of character (or lack thereof) is a distracting sideshow.

LL has the same inside-the-Wilson-building blinders as most of the Wilson building inmates. That said, LL has always been basically a gossip column and it's not as if the Post has done a better job of covering public lands. But, hey, cease the opportunity, fill the void, focus on the big stuff!

Candycane, I've missed you. Wouldn't it be interesting if Veronica Washington's son (who has an extensive criminal background) be a member of the Peaceholics? Even more jaw dropping would be if Veronica Washington's son and several of her unqualified family members were just handed $80,000 and up city jobs in agencies throughout the city... From the looks of Fenty's wife, I at least hope he has better taste than to be having an affair with Veronica. It baffles me that Fenty who is so hung up on image, keeps this inarticulate basket case by his side 24/7. An affair no, but I think Vernoica has some serious dirt on Fenty.

Oh Q I forgot about you. Do you have a pending contract with DC? Or are you a fenty crony? maybe both

Hey DCgovguy afraid for your job ugh, well guess what I am a taxpayer and I be damn this is my money also. I will ask any question of this mayor that I want to. He has been a lying sack of crap. This is the only news that doesn't seem to not have that fenty slant aka washpost. I went through 8 years of not getting a straight answer I want one now. Mike DeBonis please keep up the good work.

Such "smugitude" LL, I'll tell ya! That still doesn't make up for this *yawn* story. But to answer your request, if I see a "city vehicle" parked in a residential manner, I'll let you know.

Ah, yes, how he could forget!

LL's also the only reporter to cover how Barry owes thousands on his campaign: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/display.php?id=36825
