Five members of the nine-member Detroit City Council didn’t take their customary seats behind him on the stage; three sat in the audience, and two did not attend. The City Council is expected to consider a resolution next week calling for him to resign, but Kilpatrick called for city leaders to work together.

I AM A BLACK DEMOCRAT! I deserve not to have the rules apply to me, and you’d better start listening to me.

[Secret Agent Man]

He’s a democrat. NO mention of party in headline or first paragraph.

Other clues would have been “Detroit” and “Black”.

Everytime one of these buffoons gets caught screwing up, they always start with the “death threats” crap. That stuff sure is getting old. Politicians take themselves way too seriously nowadays.

to what he called a "transformed Detroit."

Just like Hiroshima was "transformed" in 1945.

[Mark]

Just shut up and vote Democrat!

[Waco]

He lied when he took the oath,,, wake up!

[oldenuff2no]

He lied about everything right up until he got caught!!!!!! He must have been taking lessons from Zipper-boy-bill. He has the same stench and clinton.....

[SunkenCiv]

The case has led to a criminal probe of whether Kilpatrick lied under oath when he denied an affair with former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty that was revealed in the text messages.

Subject to racial slurs? Horsepucky.

Here's one that ain't racial at all -- the current Mayor of Detroit is a lying, perjuring, thieving adulterer.

A RAT is a RAT no matter what it looks like.

Kwame “Kilpatrick”? I’m sorry that’s just funny.

[weegee]

It is blatantly RACIST to call your critics a “lynch mob”.

Damn bigot.

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

“Kwame”...... Sounds like a typical Irish name.

[johnny7]

Sums it up perfectly...

Right on cue. Got your own stupid @$$ in trouble? Follow your flowchart.

Are you Democrat? ===> Yes ===> Black? ===> Yes ===> Throw race card.
