There was another thread about a TV report on this here. This has many more--dare I say sordid--details.

[Caesar Soze]

Credit should go to Jim Schaefer and M. L. Elrick, Free Press staff writers. I don't know where the first gentleman's first name went.

[Rudder]

Wow! This is going to hurt Detroit’s reputation.

[fieldmarshaldj]

It’s hard out there for a pimp.

[fieldmarshaldj]

How will they ever recover from such an indignity ?

“Mayor Kilpatrick, chief of staff lied under oath, text messages show”

Detroit voters: “So?”

[Rudder]

For starters, they could burn the place down.

[fieldmarshaldj]

A lot of it already has been.

"Busted is what you see! see or text!"

[Fixed that!]

"Beatty asked the mayor, on Sept. 12, 2002, if she could "come and lay down in your room until you get back?"

The next morning Kilpatrick, referring to his bodyguards, wrote: "They were right outside the door. They had to have heard everything."

Beatty replied: "So we are officially busted!"

"Damn that," Kilpatrick responded. "Never busted. Busted is what you see!"

Now that 2007 Cadillac Escalade the City of Detroit paid for that Kilpatrick’s wife has been driving, has a decent explanation.

[OKIEDOC]

Just as with Marion Berry and Washington D.C., nothing will happen.

Black politicians in America can not help but want to run their cities like so many crooked third world countries in Africa.

The "Hip Hop" Mayor caught in a lie??? Acting unethically? UN-POSSIBLE!! In Detroit, this is called "Thursday" I say give back Detroit to the Canadians and we'll rejoin Sault Ste. Marie and take that.

“Wow! This is going to hurt Detroit’s reputation.”

LOL! Michigan is run by a circus. It pains me to live here.

[Abathar]

These people have a short memory - What Kilpatrick has done is chicken scratch compared to Coleman Young, and we couldn't get him voted out of office for nothing.

I remember when he was caught dealing in Krugerrands during the apartheid ban on them, or the Magnum oil debacle, or the people mover / Greek town fiasco, the list is too long to even go into completely.

Lets face it, a black mayor in Detroit who acts like most of the citizens still living there will never be voted out of office.

[Rappini]

They tried that once.

Listen to WJR Am 760 online...

Frank Bechmann (9 to 12 local talk guy) is speaking about it now, this ought to be interesting, Frank speaks his mind.

Cue ‘it was just lying about sex’ defense.

Now will he run for POTUS in 4 years?

[wmichgrad]

Detroit Demotrash ping!
