Kwame Kilpatrick: On an ‘Assignment from God’

Boy oh boy…where do I begin?

In the midst of all the new developments in the texting scandal, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick took time out of his oh-so-busy schedule to address some issues on a local radio station.

First thing is first: Kilpatrick accused the Detroit Free Press of illegally obtaining the text messages that exposed an affair between him and his chief of staff.

This coming after the fact that they both lied to jurors about the situation.

Kilpatrick said he believes the Free Press “has committed a crime.”

Right. Haven’t you ever heard of the Freedom of Information Act, Mr. Mayor? I thought you were a lawyer once?

The mayor went on to talk about how he is repairing his family life saying, “It’s clear that I’ve been disobedient to God and I’m getting my whipping for it.”

Now, I’m not always that clear about laws and legalities, but if I’m not mistaken, the mayor just perjured himself in that statement by admitting his affair.

He was on the radio for about an hour being interviewed by a friend of his family (surprise, surprise) err, uh, I mean, radio host.

The mayor said that his former chief of staff Christine Beatty did the right thing by resigning after the text message scandal surfaced.

So, let me get this straight. If she is right for resigning, then what does that make you, mayor? I’m still trying to figure that out, so let me know.

Kilpatrick went on to say that he believes he is on “an assignment from God” to run the city of Detroit and he has no plans to resign.

Assignment from God huh? Hmm.

So, what you are saying, Kwame Kilpatrick, is during the course of running this city, God told you to:

–Have an affair with your chief of staff

–Illegally and wrongfully fire city police officers

–Commit perjury

–Strike a secret deal to cover up your lies, costing the city $9 million in fees

–Imply that this is all a matter of city vs. suburbs racism

–File an appeal while you continue to try and cover up the lies

–Use even more of the city’s funds to appeal

–Betray the trust of your family, your office, and the citizens who elected you to office

–Blame everyone but yourself

God told you to do all of that for this great city and region?

Well thank you so much for everything Mr. Kilpatrick. Good thing you have God in your life. It’s so evident.

Please! This man is a crook and a coward.

But I guess everything is alright because you have, afterall, “learned from your mistakes,” just as you said after your first term in office.

I wonder if Kwame has ever heard of a little thing called The Ten Commandments.

In case he hasn’t, I would like to refer him to the sixth commandment:

“THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY”

Do you think God is going to exempt you from that one while you’re on His “assignment?”

No man of God should ever hide behind the cross.
