Headline from the front page of The Freep -

I spell his name Kwame, because that is the way I see it spelled all the time.

40 years of liberal rule...

How do you explain Duke Cunningham?

8 years, 4 months in jail; 1.8 million in restitution - conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion.

Being a crook is an equal-opportunity quality. It has nothing to do with party affiliation, gender, age, race. It's POWER, pure and simple. Power can and does corrupt. Resisting the power is the difficult part. And that goes to the content of ones character. Some have it; some don't.

Poor Kwame, he's having a difficult time coming to grips with all this. First he's going to deal - then he pulls back a bit. Going to be hard to give up that mansion for a cell.

5 years??? Do you really think anyone would vote for this Kwame scum should he decide to run again after 5 years?? I certainly hope not. Once a crook always a crook in MO.

I agree with you, but some of the residents of Detroit do not. Channel 4 was talking to a few people who are very unhappy he resigned, and would vote for him again tomorrow if he ran.
