Here’s a tour of the neighborhood — good stuff and bad alike — by Adams Morgan community organizer Bryan Weaver. It’s a ripoff of a much funkier homage to a famous old Paul Wellstone spot, but Weaver worked for Wellstone so it’s kosher … unlike Weaver’s kids, who appear to speak Spanish. Anyway, this wins on many levels.
Except, maybe, at the actual election level this fall, when Weaver’s up against entrenched three-term councilman Jim Graham. But we’ve been sent links to this video by about a hundred people since the weekend — including a bunch of reliable Wonkette operatives — so maybe there’s a “grassroots” thing. Plus so much good food to eat, everywhere, and bicycles parked outside bars on a hot day. And muggers. [YouTube/Bryan Weaver]

This is exactly the racist, socialist, anti-corporate-benevolence Archie Brite Bart and 239 of his BIG whatever blogs have been telling, we the meatheads, about. Anti-American. Disgusting. I hope there is an investigation.
Jim Graham. The moran who would like you to believe the Woodley Park metro stop is in Adams Morgan. Never forget.
Beaver? Ward? Where have I heard this before?
Oh? Weaver? Um…
Wow…ya’ll got long ass buses.
1. He went to Howard.
2. He can drain it from downtown.
3. Wife “Maria,” kids speaking Spanish
= Bryan Weaver is a Kenyan.
Worked for Wellstone? He’s got my vote. Even though I live in Austin.
He’s earnest, smart, and funny.
Hasn’t got a chance.
Got my vote. Can I mail it in from Az?
how’s he going to get anything done after graham cuts bus service some more?
Otherwise known as “Bryan Weaver eats his way through Ward 1″…
Whoa, that’s Josh’s neighborhood? He’s a great mugger. Very professional.
Also, yes, I would totally vote for him (Brian, not Josh).
Needs more flags, guns, and founding father hallucinations.
[re=621940]Radiotherapy[/re]: Exactly. What kind of moran thinks that talking about achievable things he’ll do if elected will get him, uh…elected? What about the terrorists, and the Messicans taking our jerbs? That’s what scares people. Plus: 9/11!!!1!!
Ahh. So, he wants to destroy America by taking our freedoms does he? Gentlemen, gather your armies!
Awwww. Now I’m homesick.
That’s great, though. I hope he wins.
Bro’s got form. I’m guessing he learned it at Howard.
So, he’s a honkey, has a wife named Maria, children who speak Spanish, got mugged by a white and went to Howard. He is either bizarro-world Juan Boner or I’ve had one hallucinogen too many.

Normally I like to work in a Waggaman reference in this type of situation… it’s a cool video.
Damn. Whoever is behind that ad needs to be hired by the DNC, stat.
That made me smile. Shit — a political ad that made me smile.
I hope this goes viral like herpes!
Usually when I read Wonkette I’m giggling or popping a boner — when did it get all feelgood?
The “I’ll be your mugger” joke was taken from some Steve Martin flick.
That mugger was no Willie Horton.
He rides the metro, community organizer and likes to eat too? I almost wish I lived in Ward One so I could vote for this guy.
Real nice guy but he ain’t got a chance. Graham brings home the bacon and always answers emails — even those detailing minute bullshit about garbage pick-ups and creeps smoking crack in your alley — which is enough to keep you ward seat in DC politics.
Way to rip off your dead boss. …at least Wellstone showed some hustle in his ad.
I live in Alexandria but I want to vote for this guy because anyone who has the line “Hi, I am Josh, and I’ll be your mugger today” in his campaign commercial deserves it.

Do you think that was our Josh????
Wouldja look at that, a wee 3-minute slice of American media that portrays a civilization that I can recognize as existing in the same universe as my own. Plus that song makes him seem like some kind of 70s superhero, whooshing around fixing shit.
If this guy is willing to do the job, I say elect the poor bastard to pretty much whatever.
Isn’t “Howard University” a colo . . . :::Whoops::: . . . negr . . . ::Whoops::: . . . darki . . . :::Whoops:::: . . . NAAC . . . :::Whoops::: . . . .
Damnit, you know what I’m trying to TeaBa . . . :::Whoops::: . . . say here.
Ohhh snap that’s Graham’s VW bug convertable (or a likeness)! I picked a helluva time to leave Ward 1.
He moved into my oldest neighborhood just around the time I left Chocolate City. That means I can mail in my vote and have it count, right? Oh yeah, if that’s old Stax Records music, I may just mail in two.
[re=622353]Neilist[/re]: He went to Howard?! His offspring speak Spanish?! Red alert, he has Gone Native!! Terminate with extreme prejudice! Remember what happened to Col. and Mr. Kurtz…
yayyyyyyyyyyy — i knew there was a reason i registered to vote for the kenyan! now i can vote for this yahoo too since i live in ward 1. thank you wonkette!
Boring actual government in action. Graham comes off like a total d-bag.
