I heard the audio on NPR. That girl is crazy and her son is super corrupt.

I'm telling you, let the Detroit Red Wings (also known as the retirement home for the former Soviet Hockey team) run the city.

Heh. I've only heard that as a drop on local sports talk radio. I didn't know where it came from.

Does she actually say at one point "Too many people have died for us"? What the fark is she talking about? The stripper Kwame and the DPD put a hit on?

Are you kidding me? These ex Soviets probably look at the level of corruption in Detroit and think, "Amateurs."

Detroit is becoming more and more like the one depicted in Robocop. I think OCP and some ED-209 droids would actually do some good.

I'll translate the ghetto crazy biatch.

"He didn't get elected because he had connections, which he did. He got elected because of us, the people. We're black. We have to stick together. White people have killed too many black people, and now they're trying to remove one of our own from office. Pay no attention to the fact that the city council is asking Granholm to remove him, and Granholm is refusing."

You may replace "white" with "republican" or some other boogeyman irrelevant to this subject in any way, shape, or form. She didn't specify which shadow puppet they were supposed to be afraid of and fight against.

Thank you, Mayor Kilpatrick, for setting your people back 200 years.

dammit detroit!

how embarrassing.

the place does have some positives...

if you want to have a great meal, catch a game or a band, do some gambling and sleep in a kickass hotel, detroit can be a lot of fun.

just don't get lost, and for god's sake, don't live there.

Nah, I don't think that politicians have been set back 200 years, because if they were we'd see Jeffersons and Washingtons again.

Touché.

Still, it can't be much worse than what's already there.

Retirement home? They have one russian player on their roster... And he's 30.

No, but our mayor in Toronto is often referred to as the 'NDP Leaning' mayor.

Wasn't the mayor in Robocop, the first one, good and trying to stop the corruption?

liam76: I don;t have youtube at work. did he really say that?

No. In that YouTube video its his mom and state representative Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick saying, "He didn't just get up in here by just coming. Y'all sent him up in here. Don't let nobody talk about y'all's boy. Too many people died for us. We're here to FIGHT! Thats what I'm talking about."

Give it time, someone has to reconstruct Detroit into a functioning city again. Or just put more money in Metro Detroit so the city core can just become a ghetto suburb of itself.

Detroit is a city that could probably benefit from a nuclear strike. It'd make cleaning up the abandoned parts much easier, aside from the radiation hazards.

And what the hell is up with her hair? She looks like Queen of the Junk Pile there. I almost half expect her to start jumping up and down like a troll while doing strange hand gestures. She could be a freaking stunt double for Warwick Davis.

In Robocop, weren't all the criminals white?

I always laugh when the movies depict inner city / ghetto gangs as mostly white.

Thanks douchebag

I can't believe this guy is still in office, only in Detroit. Any other place the guy would be in jail (laid his hands on an officer last week too). Incredible.
