I am eager to see who he works with now. What he does with his gifts and talents.

I sense a greater depth from him, an aura of honesty that he never had before.

Something is different about Sam after prison.

He's unemployed? My guess is he'll be picked up by Duggan.

So that might be the definition of political quandary for me. But I wouldn't be surprised. And it would take a whole helluva lot more than Riddle [[and his magic) to make Duggan shine in my gaze. Still too much McNamara dung dulling him.

I could see him going on the paid lecture circuit. For him to get right back into political "consulting" could pull him right back into the same mess as before, lol, but maybe it's like the aging boxers who just can't resist one more battle..

He has always reminded me of Morgan Freeman. It's hard not to like the guy.

Hence my sarcastic post.

He's no Morgan Freeman, he's just a good con man.
What ever happened to the Mary Waters shotgun caper. That stuff was priceless

Time to walk away, time to run - let it go. He's had his 5 min. of fame, or whatever. He's so slick, too slick.

My first thought when I read your post was "Who would pay to hear this guy speak?" Then I remembered that Kwame has been getting paid for speaking engagements and I realized you have a good point.

We need to get MonCon back into the action.

Two big horns, and a woolly jaw...... The jokes are becoming increasingly less funny as time goes on.

Jokes? Is that what they are? Then why I am not laughing?

Sam Riddle is a jive turkey. He makes all the right noises to indicate his newfound piety. But you know he's a snake, and if you get bit, you only have yourself to blame. Sam will tell you that for free.

Wow last time I seen Sam he was wearing a wife beater and ironing he clothes at some west side apartment a couple summer ago. Now he's back in action and he was on evening Action News @ 7 the other night and he said that Detroit was the only place he knew where you could go to prison for 2 year and come out with more credibility than when you went in. He's a real straw!

Didn't you watch the "interview"? The Lord has saved him, he's a changed man.

**dmike76** · February-08-13, 08:49 AM

I saw him on Let It Rip last night and he was an embarrassment. He was making awkwardly bad jokes and he used the word 'plantation' to talk about the state's 'interference' in Detroit affairs and called it 'race politics'. That gets me soooooo fired up. SLAVERY IN THIS COUNTRY IS OVER!!!! STOP USING THE WORD PLANTATION! THE STATE IS TRYING TO FIX THE GIANT MESS THAT THE ELECTED LEADERS OF DETROIT CREATED! Moron.....

**kenp** · February-08-13, 10:19 AM

He really said all that.
Its not as easy to scam money in Detroit anymore. Is that the problem?

**dmike76** · February-08-13, 12:48 PM

He along with a lot of other obstructionists love to throw slavery into the conversation. They don't know the first thing about being a slave or about being on a plantation.
