Kwame’s Rant

March 12th, 2008

King Kwame is back at it again, ruining last night’s “State of the City Address” with an unscripted tirade, complete with the “n-word.”

In reference to the ongoing train-wreck that is Kwame’s mayoral résumé, (e.g., the recent sex-with-his-top-aide-scandal, the misappropriation of public funds, new developments in the dead-stripper allegations…) he says,

This unethical, illegal lynch mob mentality has to stop.

And it’s seriously time. We’ve never been here before. And I don’t care if they cut the TV off.

We’ve never been in a situation like this before. Where you can say anything, do anything, have no facts, no research, no nothing and you can launch a hate-driven bigoted assault on a family.

I humbly ask members of council, I humbly ask the business community, I humbly ask the religious community, I humbly ask the brothers and sisters of the city of Detroit – I humbly ask that we say ‘no more’ together.

It’s a “hate-driven bigoted assault on a family” when people are calling for the mayor’s resignation after years of nothing but incompetence? After the same mayor cost the city millions in settlement fees in a failed attempt to keep secret his extramarital affair with one of his aides? After the same mayor and his cabal of thugs presided over the wrongful termination of several police officers, which according to some accounts may (or may not) be related to a “dancing girl” who allegedly performed for Kwame and his entourage, and was allegedly assaulted by Kilpatrick’s wife, and who eventually died by drive-by-shooting.

Is it a “hate-driven bigoted assault on a family” to ask for the resignation of the one person who is directly responsible for wasting (at the very least) nine million dollars?

There’s no hate, no bigotry. Some people just think, perhaps they should be entitled to a shred of fucking accountability.

But politicians play by a different set of rules.

Also, for those of you who don’t know, or don’t remember, during his re-election campaign Kwame’s mother and congresswoman Carolyn C. Kilpatrick went off on her own “Dont’ let nobody talk about y’all’s boy! Too many people died for us!” embarrassing tirade. Apparently this sort of tirade runs in the family.
