Okay, wish I'd said this too

The Washington Post reports on the latest misadventures of the crackhead former mayor Marion Barry:

D.C. Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8) has again failed to file his tax returns.

The former District mayor has not submitted federal or city tax forms for 2007 -- the second instance in which he has not filed required returns while on probation for tax offenses, said two sources familiar with the situation.

Two years ago, federal prosecutors failed to convince a federal judge that Barry should be jailed for violating the terms of his probation, which was ordered in 2006, because he did not file 2005 tax returns.

Prompting James Taranto's priceless reaction:

Like everyone else, we immediately thought that Barry must be angling for a position in the administration.
