Not The Comic Relief I Had In Mind

The New York Times reports today that 600 Washingtonians (not “Washington- ites” – reminds me of that episode of “Taxi” with Jim and the T.V.s…never mind) were asked who they would want to see immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds from a list of area notables.

So many people to choose from, as noted in they story; they could have picked Steroid Man also, since he just hit Number 757 to widen his lead over Hank Aaron last night.

So who did they choose?

None other than former mayor and prison inmate Marion “Bitch, Light Me Up” Barry.

Actually, I think the survey should have been clarified for those polled. Apparently, they believed the figure of the person selected would be made not from wax, but crack cocaine.

Maybe they don’t deserve the vote after all (snark).
