Can't tell you the calls I got Wednesday from associates to former Mayor Marion Barry. People wanting to vent, privately off course, to the City Councilman's outbidding Wolf Blitzer recently for an "Opera Coat for his new girlfriend.
Word is he has asked her to become the fourth Mrs Barry. She hasn't decided.
Barry won the coat with his final $800 dollar bid. How far was he prepared to go? He was quite proud of his accomplishment in his remarks to the Post.
His friends point out that he hasn't yet heard back from Federal Judge Deborah Robinson on whether he'll be sent to jail or have his probation extended for failing to file his 2007 tax returns on time-that was a violation of his parole according to prosecutors and his poor probation officer who is trying to keep the 70 plus Barry and recent kidney recipient out of jail.
The IRS and DC government are currently garnishing Barry's DC Council pay at a rate of about $3,000 per month.
