I can only think of one person in DC that would make a good target:
"Marion Barry Is the Focus Of a Federal Tax Probe
By Carol D. Leonnig and Yolanda Woodlee
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, October 5, 2005; Page A01
D.C. Council member and former mayor Marion Barry is under investigation for failing to file federal income tax returns and pay his taxes, according to two sources close to the probe.
The sources said authorities have been in plea negotiations with Barry (D-Ward 8) to settle issues stemming from tax returns dating to 1998. The discussions follow an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, they said. It was not immediately clear how much money Barry could owe in taxes and potential penalties.
Barry, 69, declined to comment yesterday. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office also declined to comment. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive stage of the investigation.
....
That would put Barry back in the courthouse where he stood trial in 1990 on drug charges. Barry was serving his third term as mayor when he was arrested that year after being caught on an FBI videotape smoking crack cocaine. He ultimately was convicted of a single misdemeanor drug charge and served a six-month prison term. After his release, he revived his political career and was elected mayor a fourth time in 1994."
I wonder who is more stupid, the voters in DC or the voters in New Orleans.
