The real Teflon Don

I'm starting to think this low life Detroit gangster just might survive. I can't believe how many stories I read in the Detroit papers that makes this sound like its his first indiscretion. Lets recount some of Kwame's achievements while in office.
  • He was named one of Americas worst mayors by Time magazine in 2005
  • Has a 21 punk security guard detail (most of whom are personal friends) costing Detroit $2 million a year
  • Fired police chief who was investigating security guards illegal acvtivities
  • Lost $9 million of Detroit's money in ensuing lawsuit by fired police chief.
  • Leased a $50,000 Lincoln Navigator with taxpayer money for personal use and claimed it was for police.
  • Charged nearly $300,000 on city credit card for hotels and dinners in first term while the city was $300 million in debt
Oh yeah, and hires hookers at $140,000 a year and calls them 'Chief of Staff'.
What an example he is for all that impressionable Detroit youth.
