Marion Barry: Happy Mother's Day to 'my ghost tweeter, a nurturing cancer'; Update: Barry explains

Mother’s Day gratitude at its finest. Forget the FTD floral arrangement and hug coupons, just let mom know she’s the best “nurturing cancer” ever!

But that odd phrase (hopefully a typo or astrological reference) is sidetracking us from the real news here: Marion Barry has a ghost tweeter? We hope she was hired after his account tweeted out pictures of ‘dirty’ Asian businesses.

Actually, we’re guessing Barry’s ghost tweeter is about as real as Anthony Weiner’s hacker, which is just as well since he called her a “cancer.”

Barry had more appropriate Mother’s Day greetings for other moms:

UPDATE:

Marion Barry contacted us via Twitter to clarify what he meant by “nurturing cancer”:

He had no comment on our speculation about whether his ghost tweeter really exists.
