Council Moves to Oust Mayor Kilpatrick
WXYZ ^ | 5-13-2008 | AP

Kwame Kilpatrick: "Too Crooked, Even for Seattle"... and that's really saying something. ;)

It might help to have (Seattle) in parentheses after the title here, for this thread. Just a thought.

It might be helpful, if it weren't for the fact that Kilpatrick is mayor of Detroit....

Getting him out would probably accomplish about the same as Jere Wright leaving Osama’s church. The one that follows will not be any better and may be worse.

They are talking about it now.

I’m listening now. This is getting too confusing. I need a diagram to keep track of all the twists and turns this is taking. There are so many personalities involved in the politics of this. Yikes!

Typo! Meant to say “Detroit” and spelled it wrong. ;-)

The devil in me hopes that Grandmole keeps Kwamie in office just to punish the Detroiters who elected Kwamie in the first place. They made their bed and they can sleep in it.

Grandmole can claim cover by not wanting to disenfranchise the democrats who elected Kwamie.

The WXYZ web site also has a report about the Detroit crime lab doing an audit on the Tamara Greene case. I imagine a new show: CSI: Detroit, where the lab techniques are sloppy and Kwame is arrested at the end of every episode.

I CAN NOT believe this story is not being picked up and driven home by fox, talk radio, etc. I have given up on the msm, but was hoping the rest would bring it front and center. Thanks for the links!
