Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced Thursday to 28 years in prison for corruption, the apparent last step after a series of scandals destroyed his political career and helped steer a crisis-laden city even deeper into trouble.

Kilpatrick, who served as mayor from 2002 until fall 2008, fattened his bank account by tens of thousands of dollars, traveled the country in private planes and even strong-armed his campaign fundraiser for stacks of cash hidden in her bra, according to evidence at trial.

Funny how they neglected to mention what party he is. Maybe the Amish Party?

obadouche will pardon him.

14?

Kwame was found guilty on 24 counts - many of them RICO charges. He's corrupt as hell. He's lucky to have gotten out of there with only 28 yrs. With all the points against him (43), sentencing guidelines said 360 months to life.

King Barry is doing the same thing in DC that Kwame the K did in Detroit!!!! Wonder how many years he will get????

Which is why in an illegal cash loan in lieu of getting of off the public stage was arranged by Detwaa business muck-e-mucks including Roger Penske if my memory is correct, In Sept of 08' as to not to have him juxtaposed to Obama.

Kinda funny how that all worked out now didn't it...

Dumptroit deserves what it gets by electing politicians like this. As long as they keep selling out to the Democrats that city will never get out of its fiscal nightmare.

African Americans screwed again by a Democratic politician.

Surely we will see this on ALL of the lame stream media for the next week.

Oh wait, he’s a black democrat. Free pass.

And, let me guess, accusations that his imprisonment is entirely racist have already begun like clockwork? Am I right? Is the race card pretty much already out in full force?

From the looks of it, hizzhonor could have hidden the cash in his bra.

Boston was proud to have a mayor in prison also——James Michael Curley-—a Dem of course.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into that Chicago Pastor(Corey Brooks)dealings, the one that gave $2000 to Kwame from church funds last Dec.

I'm sure there were many more TRULY needy in Chicago who could have used "Christmas gifts"...rather than wasting it on this convicted corrupt-to-the-core racist thug.

...and where was the outrage from the congregation?

(unless it was mostly "Obama money" in the first place)
