Monica Conyers in the news

Posted on 06/17/2009 7:11:20 PM PDT by PAR

Paraphrased from today's Detroit News: ... Federal agents indicate they have evidence of Conyers accepting payments totaling at least $6K in exchange for Conyers changing her vote on a $1.2 billion contract from Synagro Technologies in 2007.

Conyers would not discuss the case with reportes but did say that those who are not praying for her are "just adding to the problem".

If that isn't enough, get a load of this interview with the Detroit News. I wouldn't normally post something like this, but I simply could not believe what I saw.

Check out this interview with the Detroit News, particularly the last 2 1/2 or 3 minutes. Surreal.

I’ve never prayed for the woman in my life - EGAD - I feel so guilty. I am the problem! She can’t overcome the temptation to accept bribes without my prayers.

I am amazed. Also, I am amazed that she touted Detroit since Obama is going to bulldoze it. That interver is great. I like him.

Dear Lord, please help Mrs. Conyers adjust to prison food. And please make sure that her cell mate is a good role model.

In Your name, Amen!

Incidentally, the DetNews articles on Conyers are another chance to play everyone’s favorite game, Name That Party! Not a (D) to be found. They’re going to have to start calling themselves the Etroit News.

Interesting. Maybe that would be best for her.

Regarding the interview:

1) She should have been intelligent enough to figure out pretty quickly that the interviewer was making a fool of her. Even Barney Frank would cut off such an interview.

2) She apparently didn’t even know from what paper the interveiwer was from before she agreed to the interview.

3) And worst of all, she was stupid enough to WILLINGLY agree to re-enact with the interviewer an episode that occurred during a Detroit City Council meeting (where she called the president Shrek) that made her look like a complete moron.

Unbelievable.

The good thing is Monica might be gone from city council and city government. Hopefully, a bunch of these bribe taking, self important people who can think only of their own personal gain while a city of wonderful people look on praying for hope, dedicated to unity, and desperate for leaders who act for the common good, are about to be weeded out.

This is a town that has always had plenty of prayer. I can't imagine not having room for a prayer for Monica. She needs it more than most of us.

To those who have been given much, much will be expected...

Can we have her husband, Rep. John Conyers join her because of a nice little issue called filing false tax returns, due to that nice little $6,000 amount in bribes they received?
