Marion Barry has passed away.
Flashback to the 2009 profile of Mayor Barry by Matt Labash in The Weekly Standard.
Labash has written a brief remembrance following Barry's death. An excerpt:
Marion Barry helped me more than I ever did him. For he reminded me that if you give a man a say when he is willing to talk, he’s bound to tell you something interesting. Though he was accused of many things—and was probably guilty of at least three-fourths of them—being uninteresting was never one of them. And on his best days, Barry might have even found something approximating a state of grace.
