The sad part is Detroit was a nice town before being raped by Coleman Young and sodomized by Kilpatrick.

Nothing ever happens to these dems when they get caught doing anything like this. There's only an investigation or prosecution when a conservative is involved.

[FightThePower!]

Get out of Detroit, or even Michigan while you still can.

[ncountylee]

close Kilpatrick buddy Bobby Ferguson, who's currently serving a 10-month sentence for pistol-whipping a former employee.

Just perfect.

I was living in Grosse Pointe Farms during the STRESS days (STRESS 7 - Sheriff 0). Shame that Nichols didn't beat the catfish.

Illegal campaign contributions. The guy's a dem, right? This is one of the reasons the only dem still yapping about the "culture of corruption" is that idiot Pelosi, who's too damn stupid to realize it's no longer a very good talking point for the equally-or-more-corrupt dems.

[Westlander]

Don't forget this fool who resigned.

And here's some more.

Detroit 1991 -- the former police chief, William Hart, and his deputy chief, Kenneth Weiner, are found guilty of embezzling $2.6 million from a special fund for undercover investigations.

"who's too damn stupid to realize it's no longer a very good talking point for the equally-or-more-corrupt dems."

Yeah but they are shriller, louder, and the MSM does not run stories to make them look bad. Even if one of them is caught red handed they usually get away with it.

They have stacked the administrative staff's at the fed, state, and local level so it is downplayed or covered up.

Just look at what happened at DOS and the CIA. Clinton operatives went from political operatives to civil service hacks who still owe allegiance to their masters.

If we can get back both houses and the presidency maybe the cleansing can begin. Maybe.

"The sad part is Detroit was a nice town before being raped by Coleman Young and sodomized by Kilpatrick."

Wrong.

Detroit was losing white residents en masse prior in the 1960's. The 1967 riots didn't come ex nihilo, without reason. There was a time when many Detroit neighborhoods were much nicer than they are now (Cass Corridor comes to mind) but much of that came about due to redlining policies by banks.

Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_Street_riot. I wrote much of it.

[Beagle8U]

What would you bet that Grandholm is behind both getting this story out, and investigating dirt on Killpatrick.

She hates his guts and is backing his challenger. He has no love for her and wont be turning out the Detroit vote for her.

You have heard of "cat fight", this is "Rat fight".

[jmaroneps37]

This is nothing more than a liberal rat trick. They wait until the rat is safely elected then, and only then, they come out with stuff like this and claim to be a big watch dog operation. Big deal!

[SunkenCiv]

well put.
