Torn because I really do not know how I’m supposed to feel about this. My first impulse was to have the bum thrown from office. But then I remembered Senators Craig and Vitter, and how they’re retaining their seats.

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.

Kilpatrick’s lawyer, Dan Webb, predicted that the mayor would be exonerated on all charges and said he has recommended to the mayor that he not resign.
