In 2001, when Kwame Malik “The Kingpin” Kilpatrick was running for Mayor of Detroit, I warned people he was bad news. But no-one believed. They thought this thug in hip-hop clothes and urban bravado would be a reformer and savior of Detroit.
Wrong.
Well, today he submitted his resignation from the Detroit Mayoral seat and pleaded guilty to two felonies. He will do several months of jailtime.
While we say good-bye to Kwame “The Kingpin,” there’s bad news that comes along with it.

Deposed Detroit Mayor Kwame “The Kingpin” Kilpatrick
First, things will be boring. I will miss the non-stop opportunity to comment on the Pimp-Daddy Mayor and laugh at the dumb voters of Detroit who elected and re-elected the Kingpin, despite all evidence that he was a thug, lied under oath, treated his job like a kingship, and behaved like the star of a rap video. The people of Detroit got what they deserved. And they cost their city, and the rest of us a lot in the machinations everyone has since been put through to get rid of him.
Next, there is Monica “Shrek” Conyers, “beard,” er . . . wife of Communist Congressman John Conyers. This crazy woman who made Detroit City Council sessions and her personal life funnier than the Three Stooges, will now become President of the Detroit City Council. Read a couple of refreshers on Princess Monica, here (including great video) and here. With the Kingpin’s resignation, current Detroit City Council Prez Kenneth Cockrell, Jr., the classy-if-naive son of a pro-Palestinian Marxist, will now become Detroit Mayor, and Conyers gets his spot.

And finally, there is the faux-conservative villain and enabler in all of this. Michigan’s fake Republican Attorney General Mike Cox now running for Governor of Michigan (if he gets the nomination, I will probably have to vote for the Democrat). Cox has been all over Detroit radio and TV from the Republican National Convention, claiming victory in this, even though he not only had nothing to do with it, but he covered up Kilpatrick’s crimes. He stopped the Michigan State Police from investigating a party at the Mayoral Mansion which apparently resulted in the execution-style murder of two strippers.
Cox was a lieutenant in the Democratic machine which created the Kilpatrick machine and he was friends with Kwame. As a serial-adulterer who has a kid out of wedlock and allegedly had sex with a stenographer in a videotaped empty courtroom as a Wayne County Prosecutor, Cox behaved much like Kilpatrick, though slightly more discreetly.

And Cox and Kilpatrick shared resources. Lynn Aronoff, a pseudo-Republican operative, served as one of Kilpatrick’s chief campaign fundraisers. This year, she’s been helping Cox, and pimping this pan-Islamist and enabler of Islamic terrorists to Jewish Republicans at a recent meeting of the Republican Jewish(In Name Only) Coalition. It’s not a coincidence that Aronoff–whose mother and ex-con father are big Cox donors and supporters–worked for both Kilpatrick and, now, Cox.
Cox conducted a brief (non-)”investigaton” of the alleged party and the strippers’ murder, clearing the Mayor of it all and saying the party never happened. (Cox was rumored to be at the party and it was also reported that he covered up the party and compromised his “investigation” to protect the then-undisclosed stories about his own multiple extra-marital affairs.) But once everyone else finally began going after the Kingpin, Cox–as is his manner–piled on and is now using the story to pimp himself as a future Governor.
On the radio, today, Cox said this is a “good day” for Detroit. But what he really meant is that this is a “good day” for Mike Cox and his non-stop ambitions.
Buh-bye, Kwame the Kingpin, Hello, Monica and Mike. Detroit–and Michigan–just can’t help themselves to save their lives.
Neither will ever recover from its current condition until there is a full house-cleaning. And that means getting rid of Monica Conyers and Mike Cox–part of the same McNamara-Kilpatrick machine–from the political scene.
