Detroit Mayor Charged With Perjury
DETROIT (AP) - Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, a one-time rising star and Detroit's youngest elected leader, was charged Monday with perjury and other counts after sexually explicit text messages contradicted his sworn denials of an affair with a top aide.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy also charged the popular yet polarizing 37-year-old mayor with obstruction of justice and misconduct in office.
Former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty, 37, who also denied under oath that she and Kilpatrick had a romantic relationship in 2002 and 2003, was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice.
"Some have suggested that the issues in this case are personal or private," Worthy said.
"The justice system has been severely mocked and the public trust trampled on. ... This case is about as far from being a private matter as one can get," she said.
The charges could signal the end of Kilpatrick's six-year career as mayor of one of America's largest cities.
Perjury is a felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison. But for Kilpatrick, a conviction also would mean his immediate expulsion from office. The Detroit City Charter calls for any elected official convicted of a felony while in office to be removed.

Oh! It's time for another round of GUESS THE PARTY!

FINALLY! But what are the odds that he'll actually be convicted?

I am sure that the argument will be that since bill clinton got off (no pun in tended) for the same offense, that Kwame Lemmonjello (or whatever) should get off free, too.

You't think the dims would have learned at least something from slickwillie... the charges are for perjury, not adultery. :whatever:

ABC, CBS and NBC All Fail to ID Indicted Mayor as a Democrat
Two weeks since the ABC and NBC evening shows took multiple days before getting around to informing viewers that disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer belonged to the Democratic Party -- after every ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news program last year immediately highlighted the party of Republican Senators David Vitter and Larry Craig -- Monday's broadcast network evening newscasts all failed to note, verbally or on-screen, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's party.

Exactly. They will be helping it slip through the cracks as smoothly and quietly as possible. There shall be no light-shedding on the stains of the Democrat party.
