[impeachedrapist]

I have no idea what race Judge Giles is, but I’m sure by the end of the day he’ll be declared either a racist or an Uncle Tom.

[Petronski]

Will his jumpsuit also have a zoot suit cut?

[Parmenio]

Why would anyone go to Windsor? Not a snarky comment. I’m genuinely curious.

[BBell]

Just saw it on FOX. I Laughed out loud!!!

[Cheryllynn]

[GOP_Lady]

The title I'd like to see:

"Hussein & Michelle, Bill & Hillary, Nancy P., Howard Dean, Harry Reid, Jack Murtha, and the entire MSM all jailed for treason against the citizens of the United States."

[Lee Heggy123]

Throw away Detroit.

[taildragger]

The city of Detoit was (and or is) in the process of selling an asset to them, ( either the tunnel or a bridge) and he claims the trip was to discuss this.

Windsor also has Casinos.....

[HamiltonJay]

Gives him more street cred that way...

Even for detroit, this is becoming comical.

Kwame KilpatrickDETROIT - BREAKING NEWS - Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been ordered to go to jail he was immediately taken from the court room after Judge Ronald Giles ruled he violated his bond.

The mayor had apologized to a judge for leaving the country and not informing the court. The mayor asked for forgiveness and described the incredible pressure he’s under.

The mayor says such a trip won’t happen again. He told Jiles he’s been living in an “incredible” state of pressure and scrutiny for 7 months. The mayor went across the border last month to push the sale of the city’s half of the Detroit-Windsor tunnel. Kilpatrick faces perjury and other charges before Giles and is required to alert the court of all travel plans.

Poor Kwame. He is now reaping what he has sowed. And that’s a lot of sowing.

I wonder how many people have left Detroit so far this year?

My God, what a mess. Used to be one of the finest cities in America. Now it’s a stinking morass of corruption and ineptness.

Sounds like DC.

Hmmpph.

Mediocre casinos

[Dog Gone]

The Mayor told the judge that such a trip won’t happen again.

The judge agreed and ensured it.

[Centurion2000]

NICE!!

[Portnoy]

Sunny skies in Detroit today!

[taildragger]

The question is does the Governor now get some testicular fortitude and remove him which she can do.

IMHO, the Atty General Mr. Cox has been making hints of prosecuting him for felony assault to an Officer, which he is alleged to have done recently.

However, my question is, is this a political move to take the wind out of the AG's sails since it is theorized he would use this to springboard a run for the Governorship of Michigan.

The mayor went across the border last month to push the sale of the city’s half of the Detroit-Windsor tunnel.

Even if true, this indicates that his current legal problems are impacting his ability to perform his official functions...all the more reason he needs to be removed from office.

The sad thing is that his poll numbers will probably go up, and the good citizens of Detroit would re-elect him in a heart beat.

[untrained skeptic]

Why would anyone go to Windsor? Not a snarky comment. I’m genuinely curious.

I go there because my fiance lives there.

Others go there for the Casino. There are Casino's in Detroit, and I doubt the fact that the ones in Detroit are filled with cigarette smoke, while smoking is not allowed in the ones in Windsor, so I suspect the mayor went for other reasons.

The drinking age in Canada is only 19, so maybe he has a 19 or 20 year old mistress he wanted to take out for a night on the town.

Maybe he prefers the totally nude strip joints in Windsor.

Maybe he wanted some Cuban cigars.

Maybe he just thought he could lose the press that is likely hounding him, and didn't think he'd be held accountable.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

They need to throw Monica Conyers in there with him.

[DungeonMaster]

This always helps the careers of liberals whether they are politicians or actors.

[Clint N. Suhks]

EXCELLENT!

[fanfan]

Bump and ping.

[cdga5for4]

Strip Clubs. That’s the only reason.

[fanfan]

Casinos.

[maggief]

[RexBeach]

My God, it’s a bigger mess than I thought!

When did he allegedly assault a LEO?

[roses of sharon]

Kwame with Rev Wright

[xp38]

You get a nice view of the Detroit skyline from the Windsor side. Safer too. :)

[DungeonMaster]

All these lowlifes and liberals serving as congressmen, senators, mayors and governors, and they were all voted into office!

[Gator113]

This is no big deal for a dem.

If he would only admit to having smoked dope and crack, he too could be presidential material.

[maggief]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Giles comments came after Kilpatrick told the judge he had been living under incredible pressure for the last seven months.

“I don’t believe that there is a person that’s ever been through this process that respects it more than I do,” Kilpatrick said, referring to the legal proceedings stemming from the eight felonies ranging from conspiracy to perjury to misconduct in office to obstruction of justice filed against him in March.

“Last week was a tremendous wake-up call to me,” he said, referring to Giles’ rebuke last month after he allegedly assaulted law enforcement officials trying to serve a subpoena.

Kilpatrick admitted violating the terms of his bond by traveling to Windsor without notifying the court. He said he was sorry.

“My life has been revolutionarily transformed and it’s transforming in front of the eye of these media people who don’t know me at all,” he said, referring to what he called intense scrutiny. “Your honor, I ask for your forgiveness ... it will never happen again.”
