So Long, Farewell....

Music for Kwame Kilpatrick, who is entering his guilty plea as I type. His lawyer has a signed letter of resignation in hand....

Lies and the Lying Liars....

...who want nothing more¹ than to conceal the facts. It's not a partisan thing; it's what pretty much all politicians do when they're terrified of truth.

1. In case you follow the link and scratch your head, "How is Kwame Kilpatrick hiding from the truth if five of his employees are refusing to testify in his defense," as frequent commenter CWD has pointed out in another context, it would be "because they work for him and he can order them to testify in his defense."

Selective Prosecution

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is whining that the criminal charges against him represent selective prosecution, as the Detroit Prosecutor has no history of charging people with perjury for lying in civil cases.

Maybe so... but civil defendants' lies and cover-ups don't typically involve convincing the city to settle lawsuits against them for $9 million, hoping to cover up the text messages that prove the perjury as (an undisclosed) part of the settlement.

Even before he was charged, some were making comparisons that, although unflattering to Kilpatrick, are well-deserved. Such as At least Spitzer took it like a man after he got caught.
