Catania has no respect for black politicians, period. And, he is angry because the black voters will not accept him as their leader...The fact of the matter is that catania is a white gay man who presupposes that he knows whats best for the black community,but he is wrong....He can take the lead on United Medical Center all he wants, but he will never be accepted and supported by the black community. He should stick to representing his white gay supporters at least the few that have not already died!

And, the new white folks who have a problem with how this black-governed city is being managed have options---maryland is on one side of the border and virginia is on the other side.

Yes,Yes,Yes. Blame the Police. Blame the schools. Blame "the man." Everyone but themselves and their morally bankrupt culture. Their is a solution to Washington, D.C. ills though. All law abiding citizens with positive value systems MOVE OUT, and take your tax money with you. There are plenty of places to live where people don't milk the entitlements, have multiple baby mamas and shoot each other over crack rock. Businesses, large and small. You go too and take your taxes, creativity, work ethic and economy driving revenues along to a place where you won't be drained with taxes to provide programs for the entitlement looters. Many cities and towns in the country will welcome you, not punish you.Leave the city to looters and the corrupt politicians they elected to distribute them your money. In a short while half the city will starve to death and the other half will kill each other off. Then you can return, buy everything back for pennies on the dollar and start over.It's easy, and just.

I have no further comments to say to you Angry Al Gonzales, because your days are numbered on this earth by your having full blown AIDS. Being that you are bi-poloar, you should see a Psychiatrist. I don’t have AIDS, because I’ve never had sex or been fucked in my ass by another man. I've been with the same woman for over 20 years and we have great sex, not perverted sex. I would tell you to go see a Catholic Priest, but you two might start sucking each others “COCKS”. Don’t worry Angry Al Gonzales, death will suit an angry HOMO like you fine. Goodbye Angry Al Gonzales, because your angry HOMO ass will be dead soon.

Barry's pathetic, obnoxious, and needs a spelling lesson. Great reporting, LL.

DeBonis! Where are you, punk? We need to know how you got this letter. Is it an open letter Barry's office gave out to the media? Or is it a private letter that you got your hands on.? The answer to those questions are important? If Barry sent this letter privately, that would mean something. But if it's an open letter, then it's just Barry trying to score political points off of Catania.

Q many of the Salvadorans/Central Americans in D.C. are illegal aliens. Instead of moving them to Ward 8, their asses need to be deported.

Not to dis' Rhee (this is a Barry article), but her speaking ain't all that great either. I'm sorry, I should have said, "Her word choices and use of colloquialisms are not indicative of someone whose occupation is responsible for academic and educational achievement." Most folks don't realize that the more you bring Barry down, the stronger his support base is. Honestly, if he is left alone, this probably would have been his last term. Now, the more this stuff gets out, and after he is CLEARED of any serious wrongdoing (or verbally admonished), he'll be back in 2012 (providing his health keeps up). He's got every reason now to run again...tax debts and to shut up the cynics. My suggestion to anyone trying to defeat Barry...move latino and gay folks in Ward 8. If you mix up the demographic you MIGHT have a chance at defeating him. Maybe Catania should move to Ward 8, LOL!

Barry, having you around is like always having a train wreck to watch. A never ending train wreck.

Sigmund Freud: Don't use Rhee as a resource to improve writing skills. Have you ever seen her writing? Most of the time it is full of errors. You should see the letters that she sends out to go into the graduation programs. Simply awful. She definitely needs someone to proof-read.

Marion should be scared to death! I know what RICO laws can do, think Mayor "Buddy" Cianci of Providence, RI. He was the longest running major of the city, served over 21 years as Mayor. He went to jail on RICO statue without being convict of a single criminal charge. Cianci was acquitted of 26 of 27 charges, including bribery, extortion, and mail fraud. He was, however, found guilty of a single charge of racketeering conspiracy (running a corrupt criminal enterprise). He spent 5 years in jail at Fort Dix Correctional Facility. I think Marion would look great in an orange jumpsuit picking up trash along the 295-395 corridors. As for David, he probably is mad at Marion. Think about it, you have an ally who frankly you think is a lying, cheating (divorced 4 times), crack smoking, dope smoking, whore screwing, tax cheat who is the council with you and now he is up to his old tricks again, and pulling the crap he has been over the last term. I said go get him David! It's time Marion called it a day. The “Marion Barry Machine” is over in DC. There are too many young, educated, moral people of all colors and walks of life in this city, who have had enough from Marion's camp. I say it's time Marion just bow out and be done with politics. He has his HBO Special, “The Nine Lives of Marion Barry”. He has had more than his 15 minutes of fame, and although I will agree Marion has made many contributions, he has also taken a lot from this city, including a pay check for years of service of which some of those years were a cloud of smoke, be it crack smoke in the 90’s or dope smoke in this century. It's time we “smoke” Marion out. Marion just be done with the mess. Tell everyone you are not going to run again and retire, your time is done. As Kenny Rodgers would say, “You got to know when to walk away, know when to run!” It's time you run because frankly those who are “over it”, are now going to chase you down. Marion resign before it gets to hot! RICO statues are nothing to fool with, read the "Price of Providence", you might learn to avoid prison by doing so. RUN Marion RUN!

Downtown Rez,

If that is true that half of blacks in DC are criminal, It must be true that 99% of Whites are phedophile. Based on the report on Dateline host by Chris Hanson "How to Catch a Predator". About 99% of the time I saw white men pulling up to homes to have sex with young boys and girls. FREAKY!!!!!!!
