Some very interesting photos posted by Detroit Congressman John Conyer's twenty year old son on his plixi photo upload site.
I wonder how the minor son of Rep Conyers photographed himself with a bottle of Moet in a tax payer funded 2010 Cadillac Escalade while in the drivers seat with vehicle turned on? Hmmm... How did he get the key?
Conyers states he was unaware that his son was using the vehicle when it was robbed this week, but what about this past June as well when the photo below was uploaded?
U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, said he didn't know his son, John III, was driving his government-provided Cadillac Escalade last week when someone broke into it and stole two computers and $27,000 worth of concert tickets.
"I have just learned about the inappropriate use of a congressional vehicle by my son over the Thanksgiving holiday," Conyers said today in a statement. "I am sorry it happened and will make sure that it does not happen again. I will review the full circumstances of the use of this vehicle and make restitution to the Treasury for any non-official use."

The drinking age in Detroit is 12, its 16 for pot and 18 for crack.
it was reported the other day that there were 1,000 tickets. he’s a promoter of some sort and was delivering tickets to radio/ television stations for give aways and retail locations, etc.
tickets seem to be legit.
A pitiful wad of spicoli bucks.
Last week’s incident is not the first time the younger Conyers has been linked to political controversy. His mother, Monica Conyers, the former Detroit City Council president now serving a federal prison term after pleading guilty in a bribery scheme, sparked controversy when she had members of her Detroit police security staff drive her sons to private school at Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills. Later, city records showed she had put John Conyers III on her City Council staff as a $15-per-hour intern.
