The Kwame jokes, they write themselves

After last night's jaw-dropping State of the City address that looked like it was one diss away from turning into the Source Awards, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, we have the Intertubes. As a Detroit resident and taxpayer, I'll cry later, but for now, Kwame is comedy gold.

Who IS this guy?

The Funny Video and the State of The City Address

I truely applaud Diana McNary for standing your ground with Mayor Kilpatrick. It simply leaves me in bewilderment each time he tries to devert the peoples mind set away from his perjury case and incompetence as a Mayor. I just don't know how you people put up with Mayor Kilpatrick. Just the expression alone that comes over his face when he is about to be put on the spot is worth the cost of a movie. When I heard he was going to make his state of the city address; me and my friends purchased five buckets of popcorn and three Big 64 oz bottles of Pepsi. Diana, we entitled his State of the City Address as "The Mayor-Mack Playa Comedy Show" and he didn't let us down one bet. The last ten minutes of the speech was a classic Peter Faulk (Columbo), Oh yah, and here is the N-Word Bomb. All of my friends that came by that night were Black African Americans; and all of our jaws dropped to the floor as Mayor "Kill Package" delivered his irresponsible remarks. We were totally embarrassed for every family in Detroit that had to hear his remarks, and we don't even live in your city. We thought that since Govenor Eliot Spitzer stepped down that he would possiblly bow out gracefully. WRONG!!! I can be reached at www.myspace.com/trscott003

Thanks for reading and commenting, and especially, thanks for those videos! Keep 'em coming! I hesitated to post anything Kwame related in this blog, since the politics forums are blowing up over that whole circus. But, like I said, it's so ridiculous it's comedy gold.

I actually could have attended the speech in person, but I watched it from the comfort of my corner bar with a diverse group of friends - all of whom were equally flabbergasted.

Again, thanks for keeping us in stitches, and stay tuned. It ain't over yet.

- Diana
