The Marion Barry of (Video) Poker: Clifford Jennings
Crackheads have Marion Berry.
Remember him? He's the D.C. mayor caught smoking crack on surveillance video back in 1990 with a hooker. The same mayor who after being caught on tape (smoking crack...crack!) the people of D.C. elected to be their mayor again. As Chris Rock once so brilliantly pointed out, "How the hell did Marion Barry get his job back? If you get caught smoking crack at McDonald's, you can't get your job back! They're not going to trust you around the Happy Meals! All I want to know is, who ran against him and lost? Who was so bad that they lost to a crackhead?"
Since 1990, illegal video poker room operators have been waiting for their Marion Barry*. After 15 long years, the wait is over.
Clifford Jennings is the mayor of LaFollette, Tennessee (about a 4-hour drive from Sharer/Pokershare, KY, or 40 minutes from Knoxville). W-A-T-E-TV has reported that Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) agents seized 14 video poker machines (which we've pointed out before ain't exactly the coolest things) and thousands in cash after being tipped off on some nefarious video poker happenings in Jennings' hood.
One of the "alleged" rooms under surveillance showed Mayor Clifford Jennings watching as (lame) "rounders" video-pokered their hard-earned blue-collar dollars away. Since Jennings also owns the building, chances are slim that he just happened to stumble into the room as the illegal video pokering went on.
Despite pending federal charges, if Jennings has "Barry luck", he'll smoke the competition and be re-elected in a landslide while banging hookers at each and ever campaign stop along the way (namely, the local grocery store, gas station, Walgreen's, and Mickey D's, so 4 hookers).
They're not going to trust you around the Happy Meals! All I want to know is, who ran against him and lost?
