Evidently this is a rather poor attempt to put the best possible spin on an awefully ugly picture. Further, as a former DC resident, I'm not altogether convinced that the latter part of his statement is actually even true...

Similar to the argument that goes "the only reason they won was because they scored more points" (and assorted variations to that effect).

What a nice consolation. It's good to know that I run little risk of getting mugged while walking down the streets of Washington- the bastards will just kill me and then take my money.

This is one of my favorite sayings of all time! I knew a guy once who stated that the Brits can't be all bad since they burned Washington in 1814.

Words from a public official to take comfort in: so long as the statistics regarding other crimes were satisfactory...Keep up the good work.

Real encouraging. Could you pass the crack, Mr Mayor?

I'm sure the residents of Washington D.C. found this observation very reassuring.

That can be partly true. But I could say if it weren't for the murders, rapes, assults, theft, fraud, there would be no crime in America!

And outside of the crack cocaine, Marion Barry never had a drug problem. Most of America wondered how Barry could be re-elected mayor of DC despite tales of drug use and womanizing. But if you think about it, Barry is not the only politician to whom the public has chosen to dismiss a checkered past.

Only DC would re-elect a crack addict. . .that town deserves whatever happens to it.

Yes, you just run the risk of getting caught in the middle of a gang war and getting shot in the head in DC.

Yep. Makes you want to run out and plan that field trip, doesn't it?
