Yet another Democrat comes into criminal charges. 950/WWJ:

Criminal charges were filed today against Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty in connection with the “text message scandal” that has enveloped the Mayor’s office.

There are 12 criminal counts in all, including obstruction of justice, conspiracy, misconduct in office and perjury.

“It is perjury if there is lying, and perjury is a crime,”  said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy in announcing the charges,  “Even children understand that lying is wrong.”

“Our investigation has clearly shown that public dollars were used, peoples lives were ruined,” said Worthy, downplaying the arguments of those who claimed that the mayor’s alleged affair with his chief of staff was a “private matter.”

Yeah, well, funny how this “Private Matter” stuff gets claimed when there’s a Democrat involved. That same standard didn’t apply to Gingrich, for example,  did it? Lying under oath is worth 15 years to you and I. I figure the chances of   Kwame Kilpatrick  getting his due, are quite slim.
