Toon: More Nasty Text Messages (from the mayor of Detroit)


Click to enlarge

This is a local Detroit cartoon about embattled mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick refuses to step down even after he's been criminally charged conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury and misconduct. 14,000 text messages revealed that he didn't just have an affair with his chief of staff Christine Beatty--he paid his friends overtime as bodyguards to help him cover up said affair, and when whistleblowers tried to stop the madness, he had them demoted/fired and lied about it and they sued for $9 million...

Seriously, just go Google it or check out this excellent and very balanced editorial in the Metro Times or see this timeline. Trust me, it's messed up. And he WAS very fond of LOL LOL talk, as his messages reveal.
