Burning Spear,
While I would rather see Kilpatrick honor and commit to his marriage, it has nothing to with how he runs the City of Detroit. They always think that the citizens of the city pay x amount of money for his case and this affair he had with this woman as it will damage the economy or something . The majority of the citizens are farprobably far more concerned about job growth and a peace of mind than his love life. That problem is between him, his wife and his mistress to resolve. He's not the publc offical to do it and he won't be the last and moreso, his affair isn't going bring down his city

You know they were going to get him the first chance they got. The only thing people know about Detroit is Ford, the Lions, and Kilpatrick.
Detroit is in dire straits and not because of him, but because of the economy and the layoffs due to the automotive industry in this country. This was the lifeblood of that area and can't fall into his lap.
To me they are lucky the city has not been abandoned completely.

Our politicians are showing that they can be just as stupid as white politicians.
He has overcome bigger scandals......involving city funds.cops,etc
Kwame is from a political family so he already has a machine at work to spin this.

@CeeCEE, it's not just about him lying about sex, which everybody does, ESPECIALLY men,lol. As usual, the coverup is worse than the original act. First of all, he allegedely used his staff(police detail which does connect to public funds/taxpayers money) to facilitate and cover up his rendevous's with this lady. He allegedly ruined the careers of 2 police officers by accusing them of lying about the situation when it was actually HIM doing the lying. He allegedly used tax payers money to PAY those wronged police officers in a Civil suit(in a down low settlement), to the tune of 8.4 million dollars. There is a whole lot more to this, than just him cheating on his wife.
It's gonna be hard for him to cry racism on this, though he's giving it his best shot. THe prosecutor coming after his ass is a Black lady, who I'm a little familiar with and wouldn't want coming after me. The 2 cops whose lives he ruined were BLACK. Destroyt is damn near 90% Black,lol.(I've got relatives and friends who live there). The area does have somewhat tense racial relations, usually played out between the city(Black folks) and the surrounding surburbs(mostly white folks).
I have no sympathy for him. I'm so sick of these sorry ass Black politicians doing all manner of STUPID, self serving, arrogant dirt and then EXPLOITING Black people's: loyaty/race pride/distrust of Crackers/ and gullibility to get away with murder. Your Black ass ain't got no absolute monarchial right to be Mayor(in a city with that many Negroes I'm sure we can find another Black man to be mayor and possibly one who isn't as dumb as Kwame is), step the phuck down and get your sh*t straight. These mofos get these jobs and think they are Emperors or some sh*t. We are not obligated to cosign and uphold these fools in everything they do, ESPECIALLY when the people it most negatively effects is US. I feel bad for his mother. Carolyn Kilpatrick, she's a Congresswoman, current head of the Congressional Black Caucus, i think, though she should have taught her son to take responsibility for his own behavior and not be willing to drag down the whole community and city, FURTHER, just to save his own lying ass.

Gmahogany: i watched Mr kwame last night, he reckons he will be vindicated, and that he will beat the charges...all i can say is if he can beat those charges after some of the vidence i've heard..his name is NOT kilpatrick its Houdini..
His goose is cooked!! If fact i'm amazed that his party is sitting for this crap, and they haven't already demanded his resignation....

I've been reading up on the net about this guy. The living breathing embodiement of a wasteman
I just cannot see how he gets out of this one. He needs some 'scooter libby' justice to beat this rap

I guess the only (sensible) thing he did was NOT to cc the text messages to his wife. And in my opinion he sounds stupid enough to have done that too.
It never ceases to amaze me when these 'high profile/ranking' individuals (men mainly) put so much on the line in the cause of getting some extra p$$$y. It's not the getting caught that gets me (that's a risk you take if you gonna play that sh*t).......it's the STUPID things they do to all but make sure they get found out. 14,000 text messages leave a trail that even Inspector Clusso (spelling) could track down.

There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!
