I never thought I'd see this day. Kwame seems to able to slip through and come out smelling like a rose.

FWIW, there is a thread about him at the below link regarding the Stripper Gate.

Deserves every minute.

I am thrilled that his *advertiser censored** will be spending time in Jackson State Prison - I'm sure he was hoping for something a bit cushier.

I'm not going to merge this thread with the thread regarding Mr. Kilpatrick's possible involvement in the murder investigation of a Chicago stripper because the criminal charges are very different.

However, I will make sure the articles are linked in that thread.
