update on dirty Detroit Mayor

Ok, I’ll admit right up front that I don’t read Debbie Schlussel. I have read a few of her articles in the past, and they’ve seemed, um, a bit alarmist quite forthright. I’ve also seen stories that say she gets really upset if anyone links to her or quotes from her stuff. Internet Urban Legend? I don’t know. I’ll only quote parts of two paragraphs from her article, so let’s see if I get emails from her lawyers.

However, if even a small part of what she’s alleging is true, then the charges brought yesterday against Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick are just the tip of the iceberg. It sounds like he was running the city like his own personal gangsta fiefdom, complete with violence and corruption, controlling both the police and the courts. How could this happen and it not be news? Do we have any readers from Detroit or the surrounding areas? Clue the rest of us in please - is this the biggest coverup since Monica, or is Debbie going over the top with this?

As I’ve written, this isn’t just about lying under oath. It’s about a party that took place at the Manoogian Mayoral Mansion, at which two strippers performed, and were later assassinated. It’s about a cover-up of that party and the later drive-by shooting of one of those strippers, Tamara Greene a/k/a “Strawberry” by police bullets. It’s about the Mayor’s Ms. Thang wife, Carlita Kilpatrick, walking in on Strawberry en flagrante delicto with the Thuggish, Pan-Islamist Mayor (many of whose family members are in the Nation of Islam) and beating the stripper with a baseball bat, giving her a concussion (for which the stripper was rushed to the hospital), and the subsequent cover-up.

it’s about a corrupt, lying Republican Michigan Attorney General, Mike Cox, who claims to be a conservative, but is just another operator in the same Wayne County political machine as the liberal Democrat Detroit Mayor. Republican Attorney General, Cox, covered up the party, what happened there, and the resulting execution-style assassination of two strippers who performed there. And Cox stopped Michigan State Police at every turn as they tried to investigate--all while he called it “an urban legend that never happened” (which he knows is false).

Ok, that’s a reasonable amount of “fair use” quoting, so if this piques your interest, go to her column and read the rest.

Update, sorta:I got a comment and an email directly from Ms. Schlussel, and I’m not even bleeding. (/sarc) Actually she was quite nice. She’s been on this story for several years now, and it’s quite a scandal. I guess I’ll add her to my list of daily reads, and I’ll ammend this post to a nicer tone.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
