		<description>DBright is a real piece of work.  She wants to take the moral high ground when commenting here but she didn&#039;t think it was a little unscrupulous to get an iffy contractor gig from her boyfriend that obviously lacked real parameters and more importantly, oversight.  Then she has the time to come and comment on every bloody comment about her. WTF.  Get real, get a life.  I&#039;m awaiting your response to me about praying for my soul and crap like that.  I&#039;ll save you the trouble, I&#039;m a believer of Tantric Mysticism as purported by Nepalese Sherpas...</description>

		<description>Darn it.

@ The Advoc8te - Thank you!  Hope your drive is successful.  I really do.

@ Jman - I agree.  You/We all deserve to know and if we don&#039;t ask we are anesthetised to reality.

@ DGFS - You know you can request anything you like. 

Lets see you get it. 

If you truely need me to &#039;complete some contract work&#039; then protest that I continue the program ON YOUR TAXPAYING DOLLARS-- AZZ I stated much earlier, that program is relevant to the Ward and could catapult a wave of educated voters toward new and effective leadership.

It needs to launch!

With accountability I&#039;d planned its continuence through word-of-mouth and non-governmental grant funding.  Not OUR Taxes.

No really Fish, I&#039;d really like to see you get it.

Until then, continue to castigate until someone takes you seriously.</description>

		<description>Donna shut the fuck up, really. Don&#039;t you have $15,000 dollars worth of contract work that you have yet to complete.  As a taxpayer, can I request a refund?</description>

		<description>There is an important distinction between personal animosity and civic disgust with what we&#039;ve all been reading, and the reality that it took &quot;two to tango&quot; for a lot of this.  MB&#039;s women are children of God like any one of us, but it&#039;s high time as many members of the public as possible remember their right to be offended by questionable arrangements, inquire into skills and work product matching the funds, and the like.</description>

		<description>This is getting down right ridiculous now.  WCP, you should change your paper to &quot;THE MARION BARRY CITY PAPER&quot;, made from &quot;100% Recycled news from old girlfriends, acquaintances, etc.&quot;

I don&#039;t know what is more ridiculous, the story lines regarding his &quot;latest&quot; example of corruption or the bloggers who take the bait and comment (including me this time.)  Everytime LL or JCherkis writes an article we get:

&quot;He&#039;s an embarrasment...He should step down...He&#039;s corrupt and should go to jail.&quot;

OR

&quot;Leave the man alone.  Barry didn&#039;t do nothing wrong. {From Barry himself} The media just wants to bring me down. I&#039;m innocent.&quot;

OR &quot;left field&quot; answers from Donna Watts-Brighthaupt about her past with Barry.

Nothing new, no more substance, etc.  If they find Osama BinLaden in Barry&#039;s apartment, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised at this point.</description>

		<description>@ Kia - You Go Girl!  To read that from a SE res is always refreshing.

I take full responsibility for my actions and regret not one.  If just one person tries to see through different glasses than their own it gives me hope to believe in Marion&#039;s rhetoric (yet true) that &quot;a set back is a set up for a come back&quot;.  I&#039;ve got girls watching me.  Fading to black and crying won&#039;t cut it. So despite the horrible comments from people who simply don&#039;t know the entire story, I&#039;ll work toward a positive outcome and try to laugh when I can.

Ms. Kia I hope you will grace me with a simple nod if ever in passing.  

I hope that wasn&#039;t too 7th grade for ya.</description>

		<description>Jman, 
are you being &quot;general&quot; when you talked about someone above 7th grade english?  
Or were you referring to DBrighthaup?  In all fairness, If you were referring to her..maybe you were not..
I tried to leave the women out of referring to him and his issues ( I know my statement may not make sense, seeing as though he steered alot of DC public dollars to women he was &quot;involved&quot; with in some kind of way) ,

from a female perspective it is very hard to explain how you get involved with a man &quot;like him&quot; even when you know the history of the person....The women he gets involved with are beautiful, educated women who may not make the best decisions on what type of men to get involved with and what to allow or not allow....ahhhh, alot of women can relate to that....But no one is a victim, I&#039;m just saying...hindsight is 20/20 with this thing called life...No, I&#039;m not friends with nor do I know any of these women..But I&#039;m a woman and I&#039;ve lived a lil bit, so I know...

You go real hard you said he will die a disgrace, but foreal he could decide tommorow to admit his wrongs and fade in the background with the same dignity he came in with, but as long as folks keep feeding his ego and with &quot;barry cares about the little people&quot; and as long as he looks in the mirror and thinks he &quot;was just trying to help her (whichever her you want to name) he was just helping her out....He is still Robin Hood...I think back in the day one of the famous preacher pimps was Daddy Grace...or whoever was pimpin the all ready poor black folks while getting they money...anyway, voting and showing up at meetings PSA&#039;s with police, ANC&#039;s all helps to bring about change...

His time is up and Ward8 voters are not stupid, lil misdirected, but stupid...NAW!!!</description>
