He's not just a mayor, he's a publicity whore.
Washington D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams wants a little respect - from ESPN.Guam and Puerto Rico could not be reached for comment.Williams feels the nation's capital is getting dissed by the cable sports network. ESPN is doing a series called "50 States-50 Days" about sporting events around the country. D.C. isn't on the list.
During the time that Williams' office drafted and crafted its outrage, x D.C. citizens died in the streets as a result of mostly unchecked violence.

Of course, arming the law-abiding citizens wouldn't hurt either.
[apologies to ravenwood; it's just that whenever you mention dc, for some reason I just go off--sigh]
Posted by: Lornkanaga at July 21, 2005 9:10 AMWell, wouldn't ESPN cover that when they report on Maryland and Virginia?
Posted by: John at July 21, 2005 10:29 AMLornkanaga: Same here. I'd think that anyone who's been around DC much would have the same reaction, unless they are utterly blinded to reality by liberal doctrines, or are government workers or politicians who have seen so many gubmint outrages that they no longer honestly react to anything.
