Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Indicted in Sex Scandal

Another week, another high profile politician implicated in a sex scandal. Kwame Kilpatrick, the anti-gay, ethically-challenged and serial adulterer mayor of Detroit, and, his former chief of staff face now multiple felonies, including perjury, obstruction of justice and official misconduct charges, arising from a sex scandal and his dismissal of a whistle-blower lawsuit against the city. Kwame Kilpatrick is a DNC superdelegate leaning toward Barack Obama.

Despite sworn testimony to the contrary, tens of thousands of text messages, including many sexually explicit ones, surfaced that showed Kilpatrick and Christine Beatty were involved in an affair. Kilpatrick agreed to settle the police lawsuit "at a cost of more than $9 million to the city after learning that the lawyer for the police officers suing had copies of the text messages he had exchanged with Beatty ... Lawyers for Kilpatrick and the plaintiffs then arranged to keep the messages confidential, a detail not disclosed to the City Council when the settlement was approved."

The Detroit City Council has asked for Kilpatrick's resignation and he has refused, channeling Clarence Thomas to criticize his prosecution as a "lynching." Just as an fyi, Kilpatrick "doesn't support equal rights for gays because marriage should be a sacred institution between 'a man and a woman.' " Kilpatrick's definition of the sanctity of marriage must be very elastic because this is his second publicized extramarital affair

I saw this fool just now on CNN when I went to get my lunch. I wonder how any of these people find time to do their jobs in between all the fucking and sucking. Idiots. And, just like most ignorant ass black straight men who cheat, he wants to talk about how holy marriage is. Uck.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES FROM NATALIE COLE, WHICH I AM SURE SHE GOT FROM A GRANDMOTHER OF SEASONED LIVING, BUT I HEARD IT FROM HER IS:

"YOU CAN HIDE YOUR HEAD, BUT YOUR FEET WILL SHOW!"

THIS HATEFUL BROTHER OF SUCH SANCTIMONIOUS CONCERN FOR MARRIAGE AND NOT WANTING HIS SONS AROUND GAYS, APPARENTLY DOESN'T MIND HAVING THEM AROUND ADULTERERS, LIARS AND HYPOCRITES.

WELL, I GUESS THERE IS ROOM BESIDE REV. DONNIE MCCLURKIN, WHO IS AN EX-GAY WHO HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THE RIGHT WOMAN FROM GOD TO MAKE HIM "A WHOLE MAN," BUT HE FINDS A WOMAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE USED FOR SEX AND TO HAVE A CHILD, BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MARRY!

WOW!

[Derrick from Philly]

Well, maybe he was protecting the "scanktiity of marriage."

Don't you just love it when these educated, middle-class types get caught. They'll grab a Bible faster than they'll grabbed that floozy's booty...male or female floozy--don't forget our boy McGreevey.

I never wanted to be scrait. Not even when I realized that anal sex wasn't always gonna' be easy.

I don't wish bad luck on anyone, but I don't like how Kilpatrick could be a democrat and then be anti against someone for who they are. This is just another way people try to punk us out.

[Wade Hilton]

hey all gays, check out this website i just ran across while surfing the web, it looks like an awesome entertainment source for all gays

[Stanford Dollie]

He just needs to pray to the Lord to take his sins away. Just pray on it Kwame. LOL. What an idiot. And on top of that, he's fat and not too attractive.

[Andy Niable]

Sad, just sad.

(If they make a movie of the whole mess, at least Sir Mix-A-Lot could get some work; the resemblance is eerie.)

[Taylor Siluwe]

LMAO @ "skanktity"!!

Good one Derrick!!

But I've NEVER liked this muthafuka. He looks too crafty, thuggish, and way too much like Suge Knight -- like he would handle city matters by hanging councilmembers out of windows.

I know a feeling is not a reason to dislike a man but I don't care. Anyone, it seems he's proven me correct. I always go with my gut.

Hypocrite ass. I hope they lock him up. Suge Knight's cell is free I think.

[Blah]

I love me some Derrick. Even though I disagree with you sometimes (this is not one of those times) I always have a laugh at your perspective. This whole story is a shame, I just feel bad for the wives whenever these losers cheat on them. I know I wouldn't be standing next to his ass and helping to defend him. I don't know how anyone has time to do ANYTHING when they are busy exchanging tens of thousands of text messages. His fingers sure got a workout (probably in more ways than one).

i guess the "chickens came home to roost"...or maybe "what goes around comes around" would be more apt.
