Landing on His Feet

It seems that former Detroit Mayor (I still love saying that) Kwame Kilpatrick is going to be all right after all. His apparent buddy, Peter Karmanos of Compuware, has seen it in his heart to give the former Detroit mayor (all right, that one was simply gratuitous) a job. What a guy.

What hold Mr. Kilpatrick has on Mr. Karmanos is beyond me. He had been one of the the staunchest supporters of the Kilpatrick administration, and had also contributed a lot to the revitalization of downtown Detroit. Perhaps he merely has sympathy for the man, though if he does he's the about the only one outside of Kilpatrick's closest friends and family. I'm not even sure why his wife sticks to him; it must be the Clinton syndrome, where Hil-larry stayed with Bill because he was her meal ticket.

Ah well. If every answer was obvious what would we have to talk about?
