Bitch Set Me Up!

Earthquake Catches D.C. Mayor Off Guard

WASHINGTON (AP) - District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray says he was in the car when an earthquake that hit Virginia was felt in the nation's capital.

Gray had planned to spend much of the day at the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall, greeting visitors and advocating for the district to gain full voting rights in Congress.

He had left the memorial for a meeting when he felt the car shake. He says he asked, "What the heck's wrong with this car?"

After the earthquake stopped, the car started moving again, and Gray says he saw people evacuating buildings. He didn't know it was an earthquake until he turned on the news.

He scrapped plans to return to the memorial and huddled with emergency officials and senior staff.

That guy?  Caught off guard?  No way.  I don't believe it.  Honestly, is this the most pointless article ever written?  It has to be up there, right?  Who isn't caught off guard by an earthquake, especially on the east coast.  I would love to see a reporter go up to a person right after a decent earthquake and have the person say, "Yeah, that was an earth quake.  What's the big deal?  The east coast gets one of these like once every fifty years.  Big whoop."


If Marion Barry was still the mayor, you know what he would have said about the earth quake?  "Bitch set me up!"  Then smoked crack right in the report's grill.

KC Jones' Comment: Imagine a city where both Marion Barry AND Buddy Cianci were in charge? If that ever happens, you know where I'll be living!!
