What a Tangled Web We Weave….

What a difference a week makes. Kwame Kilpatrick is almost out of options – and friends. Earlier this week a person I wrote about in a previous blog – Attorney General Mike Cox jumped ship stating in an interview that nothing a public official does is private and he will wait to see what Kim Worthy does with the investigation before he intervenes.

In other words, if she doesn’t bust his ass then I will. (Wouldn’t that have made a nice quote?)

Now I’m not sure of the premise behind his sudden lack of allegiance for the Mayor other than he plans to run for Governor and wants to convey to the larger state constituency that these Spiro Agnew shenanigans won’t be tolerated. (For those who don’t know – Spiro Agnew vacated the office of Vice President under Richard Nixon after he was charged with the crime of tax evasion.) He lied about it, was exposed and had three choices – resign – go to jail or go to jail and by default resign – take your pick. Make a mental note of this last paragraph as the “insert Kwame here” label will apply quite possibly very soon.

The Detroit City Council named independent council to provide legal advice and pursue those “secret” records. Council was named as they finally came to the conclusion that they couldn’t trust the intellect and non biasness of the city attorneys who serve at the pleasure of his highness – I…I..mean the Mayor.

And the self proclaimed “Hip Hop Mayor” also lost his base – you know, the pants sagging to their ass leave a black man alone constituency prevalent in the urban sector. Two rappers penned a rap song called “Strawberry Letter 23” that alleges the Mayors culpability in the murder of said dancer Tamara Greene a.k.a. “Strawberry”. It should be out in a few weeks and I will post information as soon as I locate the link.

Kim Worthy also stated yesterday to give her office thirty days to take action on the perjury charge. Hmmmm…. They’ve already had it for at least two weeks. I would surmise that a case is building and they want it to be iron clad plus they are waiting on obtaining ALL the records to the secret agreement before proceeding.

Speaking of the secret agreement, I’m not an Attorney but as a hobby read Supreme Court briefs and must say that the appellate brief that the City turned in wouldn’t have passed Moot Court in a fourth tier law school. The brief had misspellings and nothing that would sway the court. I’m surprised that the Appeals court took that long to render a decision considering that their opinion was surprisingly brief minus a significant amount of legalese. I guess that was their nice way of saying don’t bother us again with this bull%$%! I can only hope that Kwame and has band of legal beagles submit and not force the issue to the state Supreme Court. Every continuing day of trying to hide the evidence only loses support – or the little that they had. As I have said before – whatever is in those documents will cause the Mayor to resign. It must be that serious to fight it this far.

In the “Kwame News Hot off the Wire” to the right of this piece are links that will take you to the actual appeals court brief and on the Detroit News and Free Press sites are WebPages dedicated to this drama. This weekend I plan to post pictures of the players in this saga. Feel free to submit questions. I will answer the ones I can or place you in the right direction.

Today’s blog is dedicated to the memory of Tamara Greene whose spirit will not rest until the truth is told. Peace be to your son and let your legacy be avenged with the force of the judicial system.

Be good to somebody today.
