Live: Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Pleading Guilty to Charges, Expected to Resign « Republican Ranting

  • This is happening live. Kwame Kilpatrick is about to plead guilty, and he’s expected to resign as Mayor of Detroit.
    The judge (supposed to be Judge David Groner, but I never saw anything that said anything today confirming that’s who the judge was) is now informing him of what right’s he is giving up (trial by jury, being assumed innocent until proven guilty, being able to testify, being able to cross examine witnesses, appeal this case).

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s Guilty Plea Postponed Until Tomorrow Morning « Republican Ranting

  • This is developing news coming out of Detroit right now. Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick had been expected to plead guilty to charges in the original text message scandal case at 5:15 P.M. EDT today before Judge Edward Ewell Jr., the presiding judge of the Criminal Division of Wayne County Circuit Court. Apparently the details of the plea deal hadn’t been completely ironed out by 5:15, so the decision was made to postpone the court appearance until 9:00 A.M. tomorrow, where he’ll appear in front of Judge David Groner.

Newt Gingrich Slams MSNBC Reporter During Discussion on Sarah Palin’s Qualifications « Republican Ranting

  • Allen: But to be fair, her resumé is not something that we’re familiar seeing with Presidential candidates.
    Gingrich: It’s stronger than Barack Obama’s. I don’t know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She’s been a real mayor, he hasn’t. She has been a real governor, he hasn’t. She’s been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn’t. She was a whistle-blower who defeated an incumbent mayor.

    JoAnn Watson had been in talks with the Mayor since the weekend, trying to get him to resign. She had even called him as late as 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, right before the city council met, where they voted on 2 ways of ousting him.
    After the meeting, and the votes to oust Kilpatrick, Watson’s aides gave her a piece of paper, a message from Kilpatrick urging her to reconsider her vote.

Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey Endorses Obama; Obama Responds « Republican Ranting

She filed 12 counts of criminal activity against Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (Democrat), as well as some against former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty.

Rest in Peace: William F. Buckley Jr. « Republican Ranting

  • I know this is a couple days late, but I just wanted to take some time and honor the great conservative thinker, William F. Buckley Jr.
    Since 1955, Buckley has been writing newspaper columns and hosting talk shows.
    He had a sense of humor too. In 1965 when he ran for Mayor of New York City under the Conservative party (since any Republican who gets elected there isn’t a true conservative. i.e. Giuliani), he was asked what he would do if he won. His response was, “Demand a recount.”

Official: Michael Bloomberg Is Not Running For President « Republican Ranting

  • Today, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced in a New York Times Op-Ed that he will not run for President (although the story got leaked when he wrote the article yesterday).
    Here is an excerpt from “I’m Not Running for President, but …“:
    I believe that an independent approach to these issues is essential to governing our nation — and that an independent can win the presidency. I listened carefully to those who encouraged me to run, but I am not — and will not be — a candidate for president. I have watched this campaign unfold, and I am hopeful that the current campaigns can rise to the challenge by offering truly independent leadership.

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Involved in Another Scandal « Republican Ranting

  • Well, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has got himself into (another!) scandal. How the man ever got re-elected is still a question I’ve never been able to figure out the answer to - heck, even my hard core Democratic grandma can’t stand him.
    So, here’s what’s going on. According to a Free Press article, the Mayor and Christine Beatty, his Chief of Staff, had an affair. No biggie right? Wrong - unfortunately (or I guess fortunately for Detroiters if it gets this moron out of office), Kilpatrick and Beatty denied having an affair … while under oath … during a trial (a whistle-blower lawsuit brought by former cops Gary Brown and Harold Nelthrope)… the outcome of which cost the city $9 million. It also says that the two misled jurors when they said that they did not fire Deputy Police Chief Gary Brown back in 2003.
