Hehe you damn king of scum. > **[Former Detroit mayor indicted on 19 fraud, tax charges - CNN.com](http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/06/23/michigan.kilpatrick.indicted/index.html?hpt=T2)** > > Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was indicted Wednesday on 19 counts of federal fraud and tax charges, according to the U.S. attorney's office in the Eastern District of Michigan. I realize it’s only an indictment so far, but the feds seldom indict unless they got the hammer all polished up to nail your ass. The only thing that annoys me more than his actual deeds and actions( And I don’t give a crap about who he stuck the Kilpenis in) was that goddamn smirk that he knew he was gonna get away with it all because he always does. I guess your 6 dollar a month spending money limit may go up a bit, because I doubt 300 an hour manicurists make prison house calls that often. I can only hope he won’t be able to weasel his way out of pound-me-in-the-ass prison and into afternoon baking class prison. ---

He is getting indicted for tax evasion and other charges. (19 charges in all, 20 years possible for each)The feds believe he took a fund intended to help poor children in Detroit and used it to pay his and his wifes expenses and vacations. ---

Another arrogant bastard bites the dust. Let’s hope they don’t give him all the minimums, and to run concurrently. ---

[Kwame Kilpatrick - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwame_Kilpatrick) Heres a wiki on Kwame. It was a textbook administration of favors and corruption. ---

Of course he should be anally raped daily. We need more prisons that reward rapists. ---

Todays Det. Free Press says bribery charges are in Kwame’s future. The sludge haulers, not a very glamorous operation, had to pay bribes to get contracts. That scandal even included a local news girl. But now the paper says it may fall into Kwame’s lap where most of us think it belongs. The hots just keep on coming. ---

Hopefully people will start talking, and all of the bastards involved in his shit will get what coming. No government on earth needs a scorched dirt cleaning more than Detroit. ---

I liked that the best spin his lawyer could come up with in yesterday’s article was “Well, there’s no corruption charges! So there!” Oops, spoke too soon.
