Didn't coke go out of fashion in the early 90's? Marion should get with it an start smokin' Meth and droppin "E" if he really wants to connect with his younger constituents... 
...and he's a tax evader to boot!Barry Tested Positive for Cocaine Use In the Fall
Washington Post - January 11, 2006
D.C. Council member Marion Barry tested positive for cocaine use in the fall in a drug test ordered by a court after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor tax charges, according to two sources familiar with Barry's case.
Barry, who served four terms as mayor and was elected to the Ward 8 council seat in 2004...
Because he violated the terms of his release, Barry, 69, faces an increased risk of serving the maximum 18 months behind bars -- rather than probation -- for his failure to file tax returns for six years. He is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 8, but a federal judge could jail him or sanction him at any time.
