if the text don't fit... you must acquit!

(this slogan is posted on a wdfn 1130AM billboard along I-94 on the way into detroit)

Anyone else sick of stories of dirty politicians? i mean, no one is perfect, but we seem to be continually uncovering mess after mess across the nation among our elected officials. And as elected officials they should be held to the highest standards and ought to be accountable for all their actions.

I am reacting to the news that Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been formally charged with perjury (amid other counts) for [allegedly] lying during a wrongful termination lawsuit last year. It has seemed at every stage along the trials, testimonies, and public speaking engagements that Mayor Kilpatrick has denied his involvement and responsibility to tell the truth.

It is true that Mr. Mayor has not yet had his day in court (at least regarding this particular suit), but it appears to me that he clearly believes he is above the law. His lies have cost the city of Detroit millions of dollars and his actions have brought shame to himself and his office.

And, i fear, the city that is finally beginning to recover after years of decline will be deeply hurt by Kwame's divisive commitment to stay in office.

what's your take on text-gate?
