    And I'm hoping to see the Publisher's Clearing House Prize Patrol pull into my driveway, but I'm not really counting on it.

    Even just suggesting it is offensive.

    Not going to happen.

    Daniel Ferguson wouldn’t say whether he thought the pardons will ever come, but he certainly thinks they’re deserved. “In my opinion,” he wrote, “they did nothing at all to be put in jail.”

    "We know that he is going to be doing astounding things for many years to come."

    And I'm still astounded by the things he did....

    Agreed, but entitlement and delusion is the name of the game.

    I'm disappointed that the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History hosted the Kilpatrick "documentary" event.

    But I'm not surprised the CHWMAAH showed it, and it could be viewed as a 'cautionary' story of power and corruption. It's not an unfamiliar narrative.

    Umm, what would president Obama get out granting such a pardon? Would the president want the Kwame Kilpatrick issue[[s) tethered to his legacy?? Then again NOTHING WOULD SURPRISE ME.

    Yet and still, he [[Kilpartick) best think on that long and hard. After all, where was president Obama during his democratic presidential campaign? Umm, no were near or the vicinity of the then newly elected Kilpartick, not even Detroit. No photo ops happened.

    Usually followed by the "everyone does it" tiresome canard....

    Actually, I'm not surprised that the CHWMAAH showed it. There are far too many people around here that play both sides of things.

    It is a disgrace that they went along with it. The producers of the "documentary" were pro-Kilpatrick as was the audience. The news reports that the audience cheered Kilpatrick and booed Kym Worthy.

    Its sad to hear that any establishment would support KK after what he's done to screw Detroiters -- and mostly his own race.
