Sorry, Detroit Free Press articles can’t be posted, not even in excerpt form.

I gotta call in the admins, to keep the dimwit Detroit lawyers off FR’s tails.... don’t take it personally....

"I don't think he was ordered to live a more modest lifestyle," Schwartz said. "Is it better Mr. Kilpatrick drives a beat-up Yugo?"

Is this not the very thing that the POLITICIANS are asking every American to do??????

[Onelifetogive]

Maybe I should try this with my taxes...Send the IRS a letter telling them how much I have left over...

[mombyprofession]

Sorry, I wasn’t aware. Can I repost in link form?

[Bon mots]

Another FOO!

(FOO = Friend Of Obama’s)

[Froggie]

There is a lot of BS factor here....he moved to the number one per capita income area of Texas...Southlake outside the DFW area. This guy should be in prison, not hobnobbing with the rich and wannabe famous in Southlake.

FWIW, I spoke recently with a let go Compuware employee.

For those in Reo-Linda, the firm that hired the Quamster was a division of Compuware which raises the questions, did they offer him this job to get him ? Was this a Quid-Pro-Quo?

The bottom line I get the impression many within Compuware are pissed.....

Looks like this criminal is being paid $10,000 a month. The court should take their $6,000 and let the criminal adjust his life style to what is left after taxes.

Schwartz wrote that Kilpatrick's monthly expenses -- including $2,700 for rent and $900 to lease a new Cadillac Escalade -- total $9,994, leaving him only $6.

Poor baby.

I know I am pissed. I am an IT Professional with over 20 years of experience and I cannot find a job.

This moron is a convicted criminal and not only does he get a job, it’s with a computer company.

[reg45]

That’s because you are not a member of the ruling oligarchy.

[KeyLargo]

Don’t worry.

Geitner will provide hizzonah da mayor with a BAILOUT.

First: A tip of the hat to a FINE example of Afro-American chutzpah, exactly how different is this from Madoff's former $7 million prison cell?
Second: Anytime I hear / see a defense lawyer, I assume that they are lying when their mouth moves. Remember, they are the equivalent of an Old West paid gunslinger, they will use anything and everything to help their client.
Third: To expect a convicted felon to voluntarily cough-up restitution when there is no imminent threat of 'hard time' is to tell the tide to go back.
Finally: I doubt sincerely that Detroit will ever see even 10% of this restitution from this poltroon politician who helped put a formerly prosperous city into eternal debt.

Hey Keame douch bag.

Welcome to the real world. No more security, too much month at the end of the money, have to live a modest life style. Drive a Cavelier like I do. Get a modest house. Show your ol’ lady you really love her and tell her to get off her butt and get a job dude.

Detroit hasn't been a prosperous city for a long time...

Detroit fell into oblivion the day Coleman Young was elected mayor.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Wow! Talk about Chutzpah!

[Darren McCarty]

Peter Karmanos, the big boss there, is a longtime friend of Kwame.
