Marion Barry Threw Girlfriend Out Of Hotel Room For Refusing Oral Sex

Sweet sassy molassey! Mike DeBonis of the Washington City Paper has WON THE AFTERNOON with this epic slice of awesomeness, in which he reveals many lengthy voicemails that former D.C. Mayor/current D.C. Councilmember Marion Barry left for his paramour-slash-Independence Day stalking victim, and they are a magical delight in these troubled times.

If you missed this story, over the holiday weekend, Barry was picked up by the U.S. Park Police, who are tasked with protecting residents and guests of the District of Columbia from Barry at all times. Barry was cited for misdemeanor stalking, after the police were called to the scene by his stalkee, political consultant and Barry ex-girlfriend Donna Watts-Brighthaupt. According to reports, Barry had hoped to "cross the sex line" with Watts-Brighthaupt on a trip to Rehoboth Beach, which is Washington, DC's version of Argentina.

DeBonis has fantastic details of the Barry/Watts-Brighthaupt relationship, and the ebbs and flows of their zany passions for one another:

Throughout, the telenovela dynamic was constant, with the two regularly fighting, only to make up within days or hours, sometimes minutes. The tussles happened in private and in public -- in an incident recounted to LL by an independent source, a verbal scuffle between the two in Vegas erupted into blows, right in the lobby of the Paris hotel. "She told me she put a shellacking on him," [ex-husband Delonta] Brighthaupt says.

Go here, with all deliberate haste, to enjoy these vocal samples that will all hopefully find their way onto Wale's next mixtape. DeBonis thoughtfully provides transcripts, which, I'm sure you will agree, force all of us to revisit the soulful and poetic love-notes of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, who clearly should be respected for the relative restraint he showed while deploying his stimulus package. While they are all sublime, this clip is going to be everyone's personal favorite:

Recorded argument between Watts-Brighthaupt and Barry: Watts-Brighthaupt: Why you saying he fuck me like you did?...Why you sayin' he has my credit fucked up, and you know. I think you telling your friends, sayin' I want a man who fucked me up, fucked my credit up, got me to lose my house and she keep goin' back to that man...You want me to think I'm crazy...All I'm trying to saying is I forgive. You put me out in Denver cause I wouldn't suck your dick. You put me out in Denver! You made me have to fuck your ass up in the middle of a [unintelligible]. We were like fuckin' Tina and Ike Turner. And I forgive. Alright you just wastin my damn time?...I can't believe this....you always... you don't think about other people's time. You're inconsiderate...

This should have absolutely been the Washington DC commemorative quarter, obviously.

Can we do a side by side comparison of Marion Barry's news coverage and that of Mark Sanford. It will be interesting to note the lack of coverage this will get from CNN and MSNBC.

What the heck was I thinking, He's a democrat, thereby he is exempt from any negative coverage.

[ctman47]

So would that be a "throw job"?

[jpaultel]

It sounds like he is trying to help a troubled woman. No doubt he himself is also troubled... That probably explains why the "addictive relationship." Why critize him and demonize him when he is trying to help?

[trycaring]

geez! i thought was in a nursing home! i didn't still trying to roll like that! i know this is a joke. he is what 85?

I am from D.C. Barry has been an embarrassment to our city for 30 years. You would never know that this man has a PhD, or that he was once the head of SNCC. He has been a drug addled, corrupt, womanizing freak for so long, that all of his good deeds have been forgotten.

[The Ghost]

As a drug addled, corrupt, womanizing Freak, I take offense at your comparison!

[zkazan]

Wow. Appropriate response: inconsiderate?

[Bluejay00234]

TMI!

[Alcove-One]

Don't tell anyone he is a Democrat.

[babyboomerorig]

Doesn't matter....the visual image of this is mortifying.

[blukazoo]

Ewww. If I were her, I'd have said thank you as the door slammed shut.

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

This guy is so gross.

[The Ghost]

And she sounds like such a winner!

[chronic]

He should've called republ!can Larry Craig to get the job done.

[noudidnt]

Get lost, Mr. Mayor

[xcrunner77]

Could we please not invoke images of Marion Barry and oral sex? I'm a gay male, but it's going to take me the rest of the day to get that awful image out of my mind.

[Bobbygoode]

Well, oral sex IS a very nice thing, so, a guy can get a bit frustrated, and....

[ThatOne4Me]

Oh dear! Oh my!
