A common criticism thrown around American politics is that decidedly unsavory things happen “inside the beltway.” While this unfairly maligns the innocent people who are actually from DC or those parts of Maryland and Virginia encircled by I-495, there is a lot of truth to it. What a lot of people don’t know is that it’s not just a Federal affliction; DC city politics is much, much more unsavory – Marion Barry, everyone’s looking right at you. To make a long story short, the current mayoral primary campaign is pretty farcical, which has yielded some real gems. However, the race is now taking a turn around the dance floor thanks to the new theme song of current incumbent Adrian Fenty (D) called “Five for Fenty” that has associations with buying marijuana and is performed by a rapper called Stinky Dink. Listen to the song and see the scoop here.
