Can Marion Barry EVER say anything without making an ass of himself?

6. He also drank the water

Yrs ago when he was the DC mayor, a report came out on tv to not drink DC's water without boiling it first because it had become contaminated. So what does Marion Barry do but go on tv and say the water was just fine and drink the water with the camera rolling. So the paper said the environmental dept freaked out and had to dump "a gazillion gallons of bleach" in the water system to protect the public and then post a warning to only shower with your bathroom door open because you could be overcome with chlorine fumes.
