He's gotta go

Dragon Mood? -- embarrassed to associate myself with Detroit

Who's gotta go? Why, Kwame Kilpatrick! The mayor of Detroit is under criminal investigation for perjury, obstruction of justice and other serious felony charges. Residents of metro Detroit have become accustomed to one 'Breaking News' story after another about the mayor.

Here's what Nolan Findley of the Detroit News has to say in a Sunday front page editorial:
Enough, already. The escalating disaster that is the Kwame Kilpatrick administration must end now. One more day is one too many.

The Detroit mayor placed what should be the final stamp on his ruinous tenure when he got himself involved in a physical dust-up with a Wayne County Sheriff's detective trying to serve paper on Kilpatrick's favorite city contractor, Bobby Ferguson.

It doesn't matter whether the mayor's belly bumping rises to criminal assault. He had no business interfering with an officer of the law, and his city-paid bodyguards certainly had no justification for screening a county process server.

Kilpatrick acts like a thug, hangs out with convicted thugs like Ferguson and has projected an image of thuggery on the city of Detroit.

Amen to all that! I just fear that Detroit residents don't have the fortitude to throw the thug outta office.
