SEE YA, KWAME At long last, the Detroit City Council, which, let's face it, has its own serious issues, voted today to ask the mayor of Michigan to remove disgraced mayor Kwame Kilpatrick from office. The council previously demanded that Kilpatrick resign, but he stupidly resisted. Now this. “It’s another meaningless gesture on their part,” said the city's deputy mayor of the council's decision. [The mayor] was elected by the voters of the city. He was not elected by the Council.” [NYT]
