"That one scene's bought me a thousand drinks. Set me up and I'll tell it for you, friend." (Bruce Springsteen, "Western Stars")

Originally uttered by former DC mayor and current DC councilmember Marion Barry when caught by the FBI in a hotel room with crack and a prostitute in 1990. (He was still elected.) Now a catchphrase used occasionally by DC locals to express discontent with a situation, or to remind people that we had the original crack mayor - 20+ years before Toronto.
Marion Barry (1990): "Bitch set me up... shouldn't have come here... goddamn bitch."
DC local (now): "Red line is singletracking again? Kill! The bitch set me up..."
