“It wasn’t a Shaquille O’Neal shove.”
— Former D.C. Council Chair Kwame Brown, making a half-hearted apology for shoving WTOP reporter Mark Segraves against a wall in the Wilson Building on Tuesday. Perhaps Brown thought the reference to O’Neal’s shoving of Dennis Rodman in 1996 would distract from the allegations swirling around him, but it didn’t — the chair was charged with one felony count of bank fraud on Wednesday and resigned from his position that evening. Shaq was unable to respond to a press inquiry about the matter as he had to prepare for the Spurs/Thunder game.
