Would-Be Burglars Ruin Vincent Gray’s Ice Cream Interview
City Desk was scheduled to meet up with D.C. Council Chairman Vincent Gray for an interview Tuesday afternoon. The venue? The Thomas Sweet ice cream parlor in Georgetown, a place the chairman's mayoral campaign picked. In the process, City Desk–with photographer Darrow Montgomery in tow–may have ruined an ice cream outing for President Obama's daughters, Malia and Sasha, who are said to have a soft spot for Thomas Sweet's sweets.
Sorry, but City Desk did not have any advance knowledge of a White House ice cream outing. We promise!
As City Desk was waiting for Chairman Gray to arrive at Thomas Sweet, security agents with ear pieces came in to check out who was hanging around. Clearly they were trying to be low key. Was it Mayor Adrian Fenty's security detail? Nah. Staffers told City Desk later that the casually dressed guys with buzzcuts and earpiece wires were indeed the Secret Service's advance team.
With Montgomery's cameras out on the table, ready to shoot some new photos of the D.C. Council chairman, City Desk surmises that the Secret Service assumed we were there waiting to capture a priceless ice cream moment involving the first family. Not the case! After a few minutes of procuring some ice cream, the entourage disappeared. Whoever was eating the ice cream would not be doing it inside Thomas Sweet's air conditioned bliss.
After City Desk told the Thomas Sweet crew we were there to interview the D.C. Council chairman, the one Secret Service guy lingering around left as well.
Gray was running late. But he had a very good reason: Earlier in the day, there was an attempted burglary at the chairman's Hillcrest residence across town. We're waiting on an official statement from the campaign on the attempted break-in, but Gray told City Desk that the would-be crooks weren't able to gain access to his home. Police are investigating.
"They probably heard the alarm and I guess they took off. ... They never got in," Gray told us. "I don't know who did this this, but I don't put aside any possibility to tell you the truth."
Maybe it's time to build a big fence around the chairman's home? Oh wait ...

"I don't know who did this this, but I don't put aside any possibility to tell you the truth."
is that meant to allude to some kind of watergate-style break in by fenty goons?
8:01 pm
Of course. Welcome to one city. Look for Nikita to raise that possibility tomorrow in WAPO.

The chairman's fears would perhaps be better founded if only his children rode $300 dollar bicycles.

We got hogs, we got nasty-deceiving pigs masquearading as Church folk faking to Judge Judy B (that is her name and last initial) in DC Super Court to ruin my reputation. And the Pastor of this lying and obese-animal-gorilla-monkey beast whores keep bringing me to court because theya r ugly and I cannot help if their parents choose the sperm wasters on these ugly fat-of-bitches.
V. Gray, glad your home is OK; if food was missing I would have clues for you son..ha hee ha hee! Please do not feed these lying church animals when visiting in SE by 7D police.
And I will gladly submit to a polygraph if these lying fat deceivers of this church will, and the loser quit the shit and I will go further and give my real property to these obese whores (they prostitute the legal system) if I fail and they just ask the judge to throw out this case and they can have immunity...that is how foregiving I am.

fakeSEchurch near 7Dpo-po, please seek some mental health counseling or kill yourself. You continue to discuss some fat black Southeast church women on the Washington City Paper and Washington Post blogs.

I would have thought the fence, the new signal light installed in front of the Chairman's house shortly after the 2006 election, and the new curbed islands dividing Branch Avenue into two lanes--one going south and one lane going north--would have insured that few if any people would get near the Gray homestead.
Maybe we need a few guard houses staffed with DC police to protect the property.

WARD4NDC :::You are a fucking jerk,out of work and should continue to perform in the circus of illiterates in NW. Are you related to these fat slobs and aware of how BLACK men are ruinned (providing you are not gay or perform fellatio nightly lately) Let me state emphatically we have in our midst these nasty pigs doing harm to gain money and extort me and the public should be aware by all means available and remember not to feed the sick obese animals on their property from this day forward.
I really respected John Wilson, who killed hmself AFTER he did me wrong on 09-13-1988 on election day (search the web for info) tried to have me murdered, and now the deceased fag is no more. Let me say I will not be committing suicide but do wish anyone who lied on me and abused the courts to ruin my ALMOST impeccable rep...well JOHN WILSON comes to mind.
