Kwame's Gone, And Good Riddance!

Worst Mayor In America Kwame Kilpatrick has plead guilty and is stepping down.

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick pleaded guilty on Thursday to obstruction of justice in a plea agreement that will force him from office and cap a scandal that had threatened to spill over into the U.S. presidential campaign in a key battleground state.

The guilty plea to two felony charges stems from Kilpatrick's role in the city's $8.4-million settlement of a whistle-blower lawsuit brought by two fired police officers.

Prosecutors alleged he lied in the lawsuit proceedings and to Detroit's city council, which approved the settlement, in order to conceal text messages that revealed an affair with his former chief of staff.

Under the plea deal read in a Detroit courtroom, Kilpatrick will resign from office, spend 120 days in jail, pay $1 million in restitution to the city of Detroit, surrender his law license and serve a five-year probation during which he will be barred from running for office.

Not all corrupt politicians are old white GOP guys, you know. Just most of them.
