Nice to Be A Democrat Politician

Detroit Mayor Kwame Fitzpatrick has been offered a deal (though prosecutors have denied it) to keep him out of jail. He is to plead guilty to two felonies and give up his law license and not run for office for two years, while doing 300 hours of "community service." Do you think he would have been offered such a "deal" if he wasn't a Democrat politician? If he was "just one of us?" Doubtful. And to agree "not to run for office for two years?" How silly is that? He's facing "removal proceedings," but who knows if they will be successful. In any case, a felon should be forever barred from political office, even if his constituents are stupid enough to vote him in. This has all the earmarks of the Washington, DC situation, where the mayor was CONVICTED in a drug scandal, but who came back and ran for office there again, and WON. (Yahoo News)
