Prosecutor Charges Detroit Mayor with PerjuryLet this be a lesson to all politicians everywhere: if you’re going to carry on an affair, do not do it via text messages over government-issued cell phones. And then don’t deny the affair under oath.
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, an All Muck Is Local threepeat (here, here and here), will forever be a shining example.
And just now, the local prosecutor unveiled a 12-count indictment against the sitting mayor and his former chief of staff. Kilpatrick is due to make a statement later this morning. Something tells me that God doesn’t want him to step down. After all, in the immortal words of Kilpatrick, “Damn that. Never busted. Busted is what you see!”
Update: Here’s more detail on that indictment from the AP.
