This guy is a clown and an embarrassment to the party.

[Drunken Irishman]

1. Why is he still in office?!?

[Az]

6. Insufficient commitment from the city council

They will not act to remover him. This is gonna crawl on for some time to come. Too many cronies in significant places to get him out easily.

[exothermic]

2. Obviously a shrinking violet type.

:rofl:

[BeatleBoot]

3. Facing up to 65 years in prison

I'd be shrinking, too.

[bpcmxr]

4. His mother is Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus

Said fact may help explain why he's still mayor. Or not.

For what it's worth.

[Az]

7. Its more than just that

There is only one family in Detroit politics. And no one wants to burn their bridges getting Kwami booted out. So everyone creeps around avoiding the issue instead.

8. Are you referring to John Conyers and his wife?

His wife is on the Detroit City Council.

She's been in some hot water with the feds lately.

Synagro.

10. She's A Mess Too. If I were Conyers I would never come home.

Another one of those people that has a sense of entitlement just like Kwame.

5. The guy is such an asshole. Detroit needs a stiff wind to blow out all the corruption. Sad.

9. Every morning I get to see the latest episode of this farce whether I want to or not.

My Detroit Free Press is here when I get up at 6:00AM and more days than not it's either his name or his face to start my day. I am going to suggest that someone start a Kwame Tabloid because there is so much material out there and I am tired of it. That way those of us that choose not to read it aren't forced to. Granted I do not live in the city of Detroit but I do live in Wayne county and they are using my tax dollars for all this nonsense.

He is sending the message to the young people that if you can con your way into power then you can do whatever you choose and get away with it. You can have the fancy vehicles, fancy clothes and hire all your friends and relatives. And I really believe he will escape all of this. He is one slick dude.
