[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He did a lot for the city. That he had personal human failings makes me admire his public service even more. There is no one in this world who is above personal failures and weaknesses (except the Dalai Lama) anymore - thanks to all the ways we can record and track people. [/quote] I would put the alcohol abuse, the driving accidents, the weirdness and the womanizing in the category of "personal human failings." I woukd put the rest of the conduct in the more serious public malfeasance category, Including the tax evasion, corruption and wanton mismanagement. The crack abuse is closer to this category because he did it while he was the city's chief executive while DC was experiencing a crack epidemic and associated violent crime. His latter day public racism added to the embarrassment he brought to DC.[/quote]
