Monica Conyers Back to School.

[leland_palmer]

If you haven't heard MonCon has re-enrolled in Divinity school. My question is this. If she can't afford an attorney, how can she afford school? How does that work? She must be getting a ton of financial aid by lying on her FASA form. She'll probably fail at this too.

Give the girl a chance. Geeze. It sounds like she may be re-prioritizing. Good for her. She has gotten a bad rap for only ONE mistep in her conduct. She was the recipient of a bribe. Big deal. Everybody's doing it. Why should she go to jail for doing what everybody else is doing?

[Zacha341]

This is the reflexive justification that fuels much of the corruption we see in Detroit [[not that it does not occur elsewhere - we get that!) by the same people they say they are down for the community; want the best for the children, etc. yah-dah...

Give me the "hook up -- it's our turn" -- "they do it too!" blah, blah-bah!

Yeah.... right.

You can't be serious with that comment.

Sounds like Monica is using the Chuck Colson technique to image rehab., i.e., gettin' religion. Maybe she'll start ministering to the women in prison.

[gazhekwe]

Let's hope she truly learns ethics and can teach from her heart. That will refine her verbal outpourings to the extent they may be tolerable in the future.

[Retroit]

She's only doing this to sway potential jurors. It reminds me of Richard Scrushy at Healthsouth who defrauded Medicare and investors, but was acquitted by a jury that was apparently enamored by his religious conversion and televangelism.

Amazing how these crooks know all the words to "Gimmee that old time Religion",
when the slammer is awaiting them. Remember guys, "Sin in haste, repent in leisure."

[lilpup]

moving sideways in her professional development - she already has the offering requests down pat



can't believe any of you took Chuck seriously...

[Al Publican]

Is there a bio available on this chick? What are her education, family, and career backgrounds?

You'll see that she comes from a long line of criminals. Crime seems to be the family avocation.

They say that Kwame found religion while he was locked up last year. These three should start a church together.

[Buy American]

Conyers knows where the money is in Detroit...the street corner churches and the buildings that have been taken over by computer trained or self-ordained people who then call themselves preachers or pastors. She's not dumb, she's thinking ahead of what she may do when she gets out of the slammer.
She's a piece of $hit in my book, just like her buddy thug KK and Rayford and all the crooks in Detroit.

[Zacha341]

I would not be attending services at that church!

Most parents had told us when we were children, "Just because so and so had done wrong doesn't mean you had to do it". Wrong is wrong. She has to pay the piper. Also, her conduct on while serving on the counci was way out of line. She had dissrepected both Cockrels and Kwame Kenyatta. She had gotten into bar fights and threatened someone else. I wouldn't be surprise if she had missapropiated pension money while serving on the pension board. Residents of Detroit cannot focus on the unruly children in the city without focusing on the antics of their city leaders and politicians.

How dare you sully the memory of Flip Wilson by associating Monica with his bit?

Hope she hid enough money to pay the people to write her papers and take her tests.
