Hi Muriel!

Nice try but no (obviously). I am actually impressed with how she's grown into the job, and also grown personally before our eyes. She's developed a good sense of style in how she dresses, she's poised and fairly unflappable, became a mother along the way. I approve.

We do not need a mayor with a good sense of style or poise in front of the cameras, we need someone who does not bow to developers and random constituencies, who represents ALL of us - poor, rich, black AND white, in addition to all other groups here in our diverse city.

In short, Washington DC needs someone who is a lot better than Bowser.

A lot of mean people seem to dislike Muriel Bowser. I don't think that detracts from her job tho.

No one can please everyone. I gather the people who are disgruntled are white. Comparing Muriel Bowser to Marion Barry -- please, that is absurd. Keep your criticisms within the realm of reality. You might have a chance at winning over some voters. But just being mean and stupid -- not convincing.

It is unfair to compare Bowser with Barry. While she is just as corrupt, she’s only half as smart.

She’s friggin’ worthless. We have shootings and looting in Woodley Park and what is she doing about it?

Beautiful Parody.

Well done. PP

My post was heartfelt and your snide response adds nothing.

Adds humor and insight, at the very least.

The people shot near the zoo got Bowsered.

The 7-11 that was looted and pillaged across from the zoo, it got Bowsered too.

Time to stop being Bowsered.

If by smart you mean tax evasion, chiseling, corruption, sexual harassment, mismanagement, manipulation, etc., then sure.

1) Doing nothing.
2) Holding press conferences.
3) Changing hairstyles.

But NOOOO, couldn't have David Catania as mayor! He's an asshole. Plus he's both white AND gay, two of the most feared demographics among the Democrat establishment in the District. Instead, we got an empty suit with a full pantload in Muriel.

God save the District.

She will serve up more “platitudes to the people.”

At least, that’s what many of us were called when we had the same criticisms of Obama.

Really??? I'm black and I voted for Catania. Why can't she just be useless. Why do you have to bring up the race card, then be the first one to tell us it's the black people.

+1. I am AA and I voted for him also - it was about schools for me and I liked his proactiveness on the issue.

I totally agree with your last sentence as well. In poltical races between White and Blacks in big cities, Whites tend to play the race card with the calculated assumption that the White candidate is the better candidate. So if the Black candidate wins, Whites will say it is because Blacks voted race - but they will never admit that they do the same thing.

As a aside, I think that fact that Catania is perceived as an asshole hurt him more than the fact that he is White or gay.

I voted for Catania, I even campaigned for him. He is an asshole. I liked what he said but I'm not sure he would have been a successful mayor. Blowhard and a jerk, he was just saying the right things to a certain group of people. I looked past his jerkiness in the hope he would shake things up.

PP didn't say he was honest.

Adrian Fenty was the last competent mayor DC had, but he was run out of town by the DC Establishment, who would much rather have the "authenticity" of corrupt machine pols who rose up through patronage and backroom deals.
