The mayor of Detroit. I'm sure, if you follow news at all, you've all heard about whats going on with him.

He was caught (by text message) having an affair with his secretary of staff. He's denied all wrong doing, and he's sticking by his guns. He's being charged now, officially, with perjury at least, I'm not sure the whole list of charges.

MyFox Detroit | Mayor, Former Aide Face Charges

This is just the last straw I suppose. He's had many scandals while in office. He bought and paid for a brand new Escalade for his wife with tax payer money. Threw a huge party at the mayors mansion, complete with strippers. At said party, allegedly, his wife got into an argument with a stripper...next day, she (the stripper) was found dead on her front lawn. Drive by shooting.

But THIS! An AFFAIR! How dare he!

So yea...he's trying to fight these charges and refuses to resign.



Kwame is a straight up gangsta.

lol. I love how the final straw is always when someone cheats. Like we can take having our money being put to bad use but you cheat on your significant other and THAT'S why someone should be thrown out.

Don't get me wrong, cheating is wrong and it hurts. But enough of that, I don't want to get into it.

actually, this is a bit late, i saw on the news about a week ago were he fessed up to the cheating... and i believe he stepped down... unless ive got him mixed up with some other guy.. but im pretty sure it was the same guy.

actually wasn't just him cheating but him and his wife both have had other partners and appearantly they had a extra person that was shared between them... but he wont admit that he had anything to do with the guy... but the guy says different. <lol i found it histerical.

nevermind different guy when i checked the link can't remember who this guy was i thought he was a mayor or some other political guy... he looked italian... nothing like the guy in the above thread... my bad.

Everyone in Politics are turning out to be crooks, not to long ago this happened...

Eliot Spitzer took office as New York's governor on the first day of 2007, with a record margin of victory and a profound sense of promise. He resigned on March 12, 2008, in a scandal over his involvement in a sex ring, bringing an abrupt close to a tenure marked by an almost unbroken string of stumbles and frustrations.
His popularity began to dissipate almost immediately after he took office, as Mr. Spitzer repeatedly challenged legislative leaders and lost.
Mr. Spitzer's difficulties were a stark contrast to his long and steady rise. Over the previous eight years as attorney general, Mr. Spitzer, a Democrat, gained national recognition as the 'Sheriff of Wall Street' for his pursuit of corporate corruption and his self-styled role as the defender of the American investor. During his campaign, his signature promise was to change state politics "on Day One" of his new administration, with ethics reform high in his sights.
That did not happen. Shortly after taking office, he openly and harshly criticized fellow Democrats who control the Assembly after they installed one of their own, Thomas P. DiNapoli, as the state comptroller. Then he began an increasingly bitter war of words with Joseph L. Bruno, the Senate majority leader and the state's top Republican.

Theres more about it here (but everyone prolly knows all about it already.


Eliot Spitzer News - The New York Times

thought maybe that was the guy but nope thats not him either... hrm.

Well do you know his name? First/Last would help, anything!!

nope... guliani maybe? thats just the first name that popped in my head.

Wow...you don't follow politics like...at all do you? lol Fair enough..but I wish more people would. Guiliani's been on his best behavior all year, he was running for President after all. He does have his share of domestic issues from his past though.

Elliot Spitzer just got a similar situation thrown in his face. He, unlike Kwame, stepped down almost immediately and apologized. Kwame is denying, against a ton of evidence, that he has any involvement and should be able to stay in office. He's going to be the mayor while he's on trial. Spitzer was also a governer, not a mayor.


Are you thinking of the politician who went to the mens bathroom looking for gay sex? I can't remember his name, but he too denied all allegations. He did step down, however.

not sure now... im confused i'll just hush up... i don't even vote lol.

I love your humorous last line that seems to be in every thread you start. Makes me laugh.

Anyways, I don't really follow politics that much. Maybe because I'm 18 and it honestly doesn't interest me that much, or maybe its because to be successful as a politician in this country, you more or less have to resort to unethical ways. Or, the power just gets to your head. Either way, it ruins you.

Or your a complete idiot that can't even speak to the public correctly, and you still get voted in (twice).
