Kwame: All Gall

Former Detroit Mayor (I love how that sounds!) Kwame Kilpatrick is asking for early release from prison, where he is serving time for his scandalous role in the text message/perjury affair (no pun intended). He wants to move out of state to seek work.

What's the matter, Kwame? Afraid you can't get a decent job in Detroit? What about the comeback we set you up for? Where's the arrogance now?

Oh, we all know why you want to leave. Sure, you're family lives outside of Michigan now (can you blame them?) but what else might be afoot? Hmm? That little affair with the stripper at the, ahem, alleged wild party at the mayoral residence? The fact that a sludge contractor just implicated you in bribes offered to city officials for a waste hauling contract? Could any of that be a factor in your wish for early release and desire to leave Michigan?

I'm sure that none of that matters. Yeah. Just incidental.
