Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick pleaded for forgiveness from his family and his constituents Wednesday in an emotional televised speech, his delayed response to recently revealed racy text messages that contradict his sworn testimony that he did not have a physical relationship with a key aide...No, a "mistake" is when you're adding and forget to carry a number over to the next column.
"I am the mayor. I made the mistake," Kilpatrick told Detroit residents, looking into the camera. "I am accountable."
Perjury is a deliberate, premeditated felony, not an accident. Especially when both of you falsely testify to the same lie under oath. Then it also becomes conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
You're not trying to be accountable, you're trying to evade by being pathetic to evoke sympathy. And the way your supporters, particularly women and those in the "religious" community, are rushing to your defense is representative of the type of willfully blind enabling that makes so much crime possible.
But it's easier to blame the guns, isn't it?

The people of Detroit deserve this degenerate. This is his second term despite a dismal first term.

Simple solution. Resign.
