Radio Interview with Da' Mayor....

Our Mayor brought down from the heavens did a radio interview today on Mix 92.3 in Detroit. Click on the title above....the interview is broken into three parts located half way down the page. If bandwith is high and you can't get in don't be dismayed. Try back in the later hours when it's not so much traffic.

A few things to note on the interview -

Kwame talks A LOT in third person. That ego is as big as the jury verdict.

The interviewer is family friends with da' Mayor. That's why all those snowball questions were thrown out.

Sounds to me like he was sorry that the Free Press exposed him versus having repentance. Even had the nerve to say that his rights were violated! Incredible - I was tempted to turn off the radio at that point..

If you have read my previous blogs the Kwame manifesto is in full swing - blaming the media, God brought him here to "save" our souls - all these idioms are put forth by his royal highness.

Enjoy.....

And I may add....The Detroit Free Press had a "little" to say about his highness comments today:

A defiant, repentant Kilpatrick questions legality of investigation

God assigned me to run Detroit, he tells radio audience

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick today accused the Free Press of illegally obtaining the text messages that exposed an affair between him and his chief of staff and showed that they lied to jurors about their sexual tryst.

“How did they obtain these records? Where did they get them?” Kilpatrick said during a radio interview on WMXD-FM (92.3, the Mix). “The Free Press obviously had some meetings that they ought to answer to."

Kilpatrick said the text messages were confidential and came after an $8.4- million settlement stemming from a whistle-blower lawsuit brought by three former police officers.
“I think the Free Press has committed a crime. I believe they committed a crime,” Kilpatrick said.

Caesar Andrews, executive editor of the Free Press, denied the mayor’s accusation.
“The Free Press did nothing illegal. We verified our coverage in numerous ways and reported only on the facts. This is such an important story that we’ve insisted on the highest standards in deciding what to publish,” Andrews said.

“No one, including the mayor, has challenged our factual reporting. And no one, including the mayor, has offered one iota of evidence that the Free Press engaged in anything criminal. His claims about the nature of Free Press coverage are just not logical, and they're not true,” Andrews said.

“The proper focus for our coverage has been the conduct of the mayor. That's the real deal,” Andrews said. “The mayor cannot be allowed to shift the blame elsewhere. There is no conspiracy. There is no hidden agenda. Our news coverage really stands on its own.”
Chief of staff Christine Beatty last week submitted her resignation, and her last day at city hall is today. Kilpatrick apologized to his wife and citizens in a televised address, but indicated he had no intention of quitting his position in light of the scandal.

A repentant Kilpatrick kicked off the first five minutes of the radio show by saying that he’s working to repair his family life.

“It’s clear that I’ve been disobedient to God and I’m getting my whipping for it,” he said.
Frankie Darcell, a friend of the mayor’s wife, Carlita, kicked off her radio show by simply asking Kilpatrick: “What were you thinking?”

“Oh boy,” he said. “…there have been times that I wasn’t thinking too well.”

The mayor said that he believes he is on assignment from God to run the city of Detroit and he has no plans to resign.

He also said Beatty did the right thing by resigning after text messages surfaced in the Detroit Free Press that exposed their affair.

“Clearly, we both made some mistakes,” he said of Beatty.

"I hope she has an incredible life.”
