Ousted Mayor [Democrat Kwame Kilpatrick] Goes On Shopping Spree (in jail)
WDIV-TV Local 4 ^ | December 12, 2008

DETROIT -- Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick went on a shopping spree during his first full day in jail, spending $40 on food, toiletries and XXXL long johns.

Records released Friday to the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News show Kilpatrick's purchases included granola bars, barbecue potato chips, shampoo and $2 worth of Vaseline.

In late October, Kilpatrick began serving a 120-day sentence for obstruction of justice and assault. With good behavior, he could be out of jail after 100 days.

Kilpatrick was in a scandal that involved courtroom lies, sex with a top aide and incriminating text messages.

The Wayne County jail did not release the names of Kilpatrick's visitors. He reported to jail in a business suit and had 18 pairs of socks and $67.

Notice that they didn't mention his party affiliation? They never make that "mistake" with a Republican. Wonder what in the world the Vaseline is for?

Heh, now WHO can post that picture of the soldering iron, electric cord and vise????

Just crazy. And we have a President who not only sends Kwanzaa cards like other Presidents, I am sure he practices it as well.

Anyone think he doesn’t? Especially after hearing that crowd he hangs out with at Trinity...
