The Musings of Warren's Finest - Mayor Jim Fouts

[313WX]

Dems: If offensive remarks came from Fouts, Warren mayor should resign.

The faster he's gone, the better off Michigan will be.

And it's funny, because Detroiters are still getting crapped on by suburbanites for Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick, yet the people in Warren have repeatedly elected this raving lunatic into office now for the past 30 years.

This 74-year-old mayor has cooked his goose. Fouts seems to be suffering from senility – hardening of the arteries.
Way Beyond Hateful.
The only person that should be "Kevorkianed" is the intolerant, ignorant pig that made the comments. With the exception of the Nazi's, I have never heard of anyone suggesting euthanasia for individuals that have special needs.
Unbelievable, and it is Fouts voice, like there was any doubt.

[Zacha341]

Wow, he is absolute toast and needs to go! First off he made the comments, waxing on. Then said it's not his voice. So as the voice forensics go forth he'll be a liar too!?

Mayor Fouts is on a local radio station and it'll be interesting to see what DAMAGE control he'll mangle and rangle there. They'll probably have to let him go too.

[DetroiterOnTheWestCoast]

Sounds like he's material for an appointment in the new administration

[Scottathew]

I've had personal interactions with him in the past. He's a horrible, intolerant, ego-maniac.

I can't believe that his secretary's lady parts can be rented by this relic for her 72K salary [[they've been caught in Chicago holding hands).

Fouts' comments about people with special needs are disgusting. He's a vile irredeemable excuse for a person.

[Bham1982]

Our President-elect makes fun of the handicapped too, and unlike Fouts, proudly does so in a public manner.

So while I find Fouts to be a vile and embarrassing character, and an embodiment of Pure Michisippi, I can't see why anyone would get worked up about private speech that is far less offensive than the public speech of our [[gasp) future commander-in-chief.

Fouts isn't going to lead us into a nuclear holocaust or anything. He's a deplorable Macomb clown leading an irrelevent town that will be a full-on slum within 15 years.

So someone acting narcissistic and mean is equivalent to someone abusing his power in office and committing multiple felonies?

I'm no fan of Mr. Fouts either, but some perspective is in order.

Macomb County isn't exempt from dirty politics either. The pot calling the kettle black? No pun intended.... http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/m...on-probe-grows

Don't take this article seriously at all. It was written by Jack Lessenberry, a bitter old liberal hack from Wayne State. And it was published in the Metro Times, a so-called "newspaper" whose largest source of revenue is from classified ads placed by transvestite prostitutes and purveyors of narcotics and associated paraphernalia. Nothing in the Metro Times carries any credibility.

Why
Why not? Did he say something that was factually incorrect?

Yes, obviously if a news source has old, liberal columnists, and sells advertising from legal merchants, it doesn't carry any credibility. Duh.

Only credible sources these days are apparently from the alt-right, Putin, the KKK and their armies of fakenews peddlers. Regular media sources have no place under our Trumpenfuhrer.

[Calltoaction]

lol if any suburbanite gives you shit for Coleman young or Kwame just remind them they elected L. Brooks Patterson for the 10th time.

[Lowell]

The center of political comedy and corruption has definitely shifted to Macomb County.

Gone are those halcyon days of Kwame, Ficano and L. Brooks.

[Cincinnati_Kid]

Great story, 313.

[jcole]

Has it been proven to be Fouts on the tape? I know it SOUNDS like him, but it's easy to hire an impersonator that can sound like someone without it really being them. Not defending because he does seem to be a weird bird, but are they sure it's actually him or is he being railroaded?

[p69rrh51]

Unfortunately Fouts is like Teflon, this "situation" will just roll right off of him.

[Lowell]

...or even helps his ratings.

[SyGolden48236]

If it is indeed Fouts' voice on the tape then he needs to leave office immediately. Comments of the nature of those on the tape are reprehensible.

[Oddz313]

Fouts in his own mind was trying to angle a run for county exec in 2018, I guess he messed with the wrong people

His "musings" probably helped his county exec aspirations, at least in Macomb.

I mean "he tells it like it is", no? No "liberal BS", right?

Well I know he got in trouble for being a Bernie fan but has ran under the repub ticket before. The guy before him got in trouble for being in bed w the Rizzos. you can watch it on youtube under the scott lewis account. I'm not sure where he is on the policy spectrum but I know what he said was uncalled for but in jest

[Zacha341]

If you're angling for a promotion you should bridle your mouth. Then on the other hand let it all hang out. Then at least it's all in the open!

As you mentioned, he keeps getting reelected. Most people aren't idiots, some are but most aren't. He must be doing some things right.

It's perfectly reasonable to be filled with intolerance to fascism, or filled with hatred for white supremacy, or filled with rage at language constructed to confuse and silence rather than to communicate.
