These are actual quotes taken from Mayor Marion Barry, of Washington, D.C.

"The contagious people of Washington have stood firm against diversity
during this long period of increment weather." -- M. Barry, Mayor of
Washington, DC

"I promise you a police car on every sidewalk." -- M. Barry, Mayor of
Washington, DC

"If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very low crime
rate." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"First, it was not a strip bar, it was an erotic club. And second, what can
I say? I'm a night owl." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"Bitch set me up." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"I am clearly more popular than Reagan. I am in my third term. Where's
Reagan? Gone after two! Defeated by George Bush and Michael Dukakis no
less." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"The laws in this city are clearly racist. All laws are racist. The law of
gravity is racist." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"I am making this trip to Africa because Washington is an international
city, just like Tokyo, Nigeria or Israel. As mayor, I am an international
symbol. Can you deny that to Africa?" -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"People have criticized me because my security detail is larger than the
president's. But you must ask yourself: are there more people who want to
kill me than who want to kill the president? I can assure you there are."
-- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"The brave men who died in Vietnam, more than 100% of which were black,
were the ultimate sacrifice." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"I read a funny story about how the Republicans freed the slaves. The
Republicans are the ones who created slavery by law in the 1600's. Abraham
Lincoln freed the slaves and he was not a Republican." -- M. Barry, Mayor
of Washington, DC

"What right does Congress have to go around making laws just because they
deem it necessary?" -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"People blame me because these water mains break, but I ask you, if the
water mains didn't break, would it be my responsibility to fix them then?
WOULD IT!?!" -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

"I am a great mayor; I am an upstanding Christian man; I am an intelligent
man; I am a deeply educated man; I am a humble man." -- M. Barry, Mayor of
Washington, DC

That last one sounds similar to one of our own. A Boater, although the
Christian part may not be appropriate!
