Democrat Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Pleads Guilty Will Resign
— DrewM

The man community organizer Barack "Judgment Matters" Obama once said was "a great mayor" and "doing an outstanding job" has pleaded guilty to lying under oath.

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has pleaded guilty, ending a nearly eight month drama that has transfixed the region, paralyzed much of city business and halted a political career that once held such promise.

The deal calls for Kilpatrick to plead guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice by committing perjury, agreeing to serve four months in jail, pay up to $1 million in restitution, and serve five years' probation. He also agreed not to run for office during that five-year span.

The mayor will turn over his state pension to the City of Detroit, which paid $8.4 million to settle two whistle-blower lawsuits three former cops filed against the city. The mayor was charged with eight felony counts ranging from conspiracy to perjury to misconduct in office to obstruction of justice after the Free Press revealed that the mayor lied on the witness stand during a police whistle-blower trial and gave misleading testimony about whether he intended to fire a deputy police chief investigating allegations of wrongdoing by members of his inner circle.

So let's recap...community organizer Obama says an admitted felon is "a great mayor" but Sarah Palin is just the mayor of small town "Wasilly" (sic) and doesn't count.

Obama is right, judgment matters.

Any news on his replacement? It's Detroit, so I don't expect much better.

and, the half-cocked Lefty crap keeps pouring out:

Palin did *not* cut the Special Education budget by 2/3rds - they broke out a special ed program as its own separate line item that accounted for that apparent 2/3rds decrease in the previous line item.

Accounting - debits by the window, credits by the door

dumbasses.

7 Great!  Being a close by resident I can now look forward to Detroit reversing its depleting population, its high crime rates, and its poor economy. 

The chances of that happening anytime soon are about as good as a nerdy white guy getting elected, we only elect hip hop gangstas who drive Escalades, but da Escalade gots to have 22's on it.  Gots to.

Its bad when you go downtown to one of the very nice casinos and see these idiots walking around with Kwame t-shirts.  I dont think they saw the irony in it.

8 Didn't Bush get slammed for saying the exact same things about Michael Chertoff after Katrina? "Doing a great job."  But now all we'll probably get is crickets from the MSM.  That's what... Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Kilpatrick, Phleger, Rezko...

Nope, nothing to see here.  Move along.  HEY, THAT REPUBLICAN'S DAUGHTER HAD SEX!!!1

9 And in defense of the mayoral duties of Detroit vs. Wasilly, you have to be a pretty corrupt individual to be mayor of Detroit.

14 'Shrek' (Ken Cockrel Jr.) from part one of "Why Monica Conyers isn't qualified to be in any public or private office ever" is now the mayor.  He has at least one of the right enemies already.

16 Kwame's replacement -at least in the short term- will be the President of the City Council, Ken Cockrel. However....the City Council as a whole is currently being investigated by the FBI for corruption in a sludge deal. Yes, sludge. Detroit has a lot of it, if you know what I mean.

20 So let's recap...community organizer Obama says an admitted felon is "a great mayor" but Sarah Palin is just the mayor of small town "Wasilly" (sic) and doesn't count. Well yes, didn't you know that Andrew Sullivan's newest obsession is the Alaskan town that Palin was mayor is the Meth capitol of Alaska, so you know...

oh crap, that's racist, isn't it?

22 topsecretk9,

Actually, I have a friend who lives in Anchorage and she has friends who live in Wasilla and know Palin. She's pretty apolitical and that meth thing was the first thing she said when I asked her about the town.

How important that is or should be I don't know but it's apparently not a fabrication of Sullivan's addled mind.

26 "Who signs the paychecks for a 'community organizer?'

I've been asking that for months now and I don't even think the people who have written books about Obama know.  Maybe the checks come from Area 51.

27 Let's don't neglect to mention that he was one of the messiah's superdelegates. Best I recall, he was persona non grata at Denver, but I really don't know why; one of their keynote speakers is also a convicted perjurer. Billy Jeff prolly got the podium over K-dog cause he's blacker. Or something.

29 His party affiliation isn't mentioned, so he's obviously a Republican and the media is covering for them, again. If he was a Democrat, that would have been the first word of the first paragraph.

GUESS!  (AP:  2 paragraphs but only only mentions Democrats in context of replacement mayor, never overtly identifies Kilpatrick as a Democrat -- does that count?)

Wayne County Jail time is a plus for his resume, just another example of how da man be puttin' his ass down. He will probably take over his mom's seat in congress someday.

Corruption is not a job requirement for mayor of Detroit, Dennis Archer proved that.

36 Isn't he still being investigated for the murder of a stripper exotic dancer or did that go away somehow?  With this pos exemplary mayor it's hard to keep current on the charges since da Man obviously has it in for him.

Posted by: Captain Hate at September 04, 2008 09:25 AM (EbR5o)

37 I don't see how you can blame Obama for complimenting Kwame Kilpatrick. 1. Nobody knew it was illegal for Democrats to lie under oath or "obstruct [whiteman's] justice". 2. He was just reading words put there by Bill Ayers and his other speechwriters.

Posted by: Potosi Joel at September 04, 2008 09:27 AM (TPRbZ)

38 Don't drop the soap, Kwame!

It's amazing that he is not hailed as a hero for perjury.  I mean, Clinton attained demigod status after he lied under oath.  Or, does the DNC only recognize and celebrate perjurers inside the Beltway?

Posted by: Pat R. at September 04, 2008 01:14 PM (3rwFl)

42 The day Kwame gets out of jail, one can only hope that the FBI will have had enough time to gather their information against him and be waiting with handcuffs when the Wayne County Jail releases him.
