Quote:
The thieves apparently knew that Barry (D-Ward Cool was a longtime community leader, a fact that he said made the crime "kind of hurt" because he is well respected by so many people in the city. Barry was not injured in the holdup.

"There is a sort of an unwritten code in Washington, among the underworld and the hustlers and these other guys, that I am their friend," Barry said at an afternoon news conference in which he described the robbery in detail. "I don't advocate what they do. I advocate conditions to change what they do. I was a little hurt that this betrayal did happen."


I'll let you write the jokes. Difficulty -- no liberals mugged by reality.

It's kind of funny the guy who created the conditions on the street is a victim and he's actually surprised and livid. I think Letterman had a good joke, something like "Remember the days when a junkie could buy crack on the street in peace and safety?"

I misread the subject. I thought it was about him robbing someone.
