Council fails to reach deal on stadium lease<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
D’oh! None of the eight opposed to the lease have been swayed to change their vote yet. Marion Barry<\/b> (file photo<\/b><\/a>) is quoted a lot, which strikes me as pointless because everybody knows he is not going to vote for the lease.<\/p>\n

If you don’t already read Capitol Punishment<\/b><\/a> you just aren’t a fan. The author Chris Needham<\/b> is booksmart<\/i> and routinely provides the best analysis of what is going on with the Nats. Yesterday, he offered some perspective<\/b><\/a> on the whole Nat Gandhi<\/b> issue and predicted it would blow over by putting the reserve back into the deal; The Post<\/i> says it has been put back in<\/b><\/a>, so that is one less worrisome thing. Gandhi is not happy about the private financing deal (a pennywise, pound foolish one) being removed though and neither is Council Chair Linda Cropp<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Needham closes with: <\/p>\n

All DC would need to do is amend the lease in the Council, which shouldn’t require a super-majority, just the regular 7 votes which would be necessary for final passage of the whole damn thing anyway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think I recalled seeing something like “this will probably get approved by as many as 8 or 9 votes or of course it could back to the hell it was in before” out in the Natmosphere somewhere. To that, I am afraid I have to agree with the latter point. Getting the Nationals was making a deal with the devil<\/b><\/a>, where else can it end but hell?<\/p>\n

Wasn’t there a movie<\/b><\/a> about this recently?<\/p>\n

Curly W provides us with a Who’s Screwing Who?<\/b><\/a> graphic. Excellent work.
