Tsk, tsk. And here I thought that the Republicans had a culture of corruption. Good Democrats are never corrupt are they?

What will happen to Detroit? Will Detroit miss Kilpatrick’s inspiring leadership?

Too bad the deal doesn’t include the jail time he so richly deserves.

Wait a minute. Has Mayor Daley been accused or indicted for anything?

No, but a man can always dream, can't he?

I heard on the news that he'll serve 180 days jail time, financial restitution to the city is $1 million. That's what they said on the local news about thirty minutes ago, IEB network.

Of course, this deal in no way absolves him if he's found complicit in, I don't know...the murder of a stripper or something like that.
