Marion Barry, Classy Breaker-Upper  @3:10 PM

A wise voicemail message from DC councilman and former mayor Marion Barry: "Donna, you don't have to answer your home phone but let me just say that I'm addicted to you. Don't call me back. I will not take a call from you. I'm not gonna call you so this is it. Don't call me back. I was trying to be amicable about it if we could. It's not right for us to have gone through all this whatever…I do apologize to you it and I'm not asking you to apologize to me. I'm just gonna end it. I like to end it amicably like I done most of my relationships and you've done most of yours. So don't call me and you won't hear from me. Simple as that." Aww. Oh, uh oh? Next voicemail: "Call me and let me know that you accept that and I will not ever call you and you shouldn't call me and then we be alright." Oh really? 7
