Man Without a Party?
We thought about filing this Associated Press headline under "Bottom Stories of the Day": "Detroit Mayor Sends Steamy Text Messages." But it turns out this is a public scandal:
Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick bristled in the witness chair last year when asked whether he had an affair with a top aide. No, the mayor confidently told jurors, the two were never romantically involved.
But a trove of 14,000 text messages that emerged this week tell a different story: The mayor and his chief of staff carried on a flirty, sometimes sexually explicit dialogue about where to meet and how to conceal their numerous trysts.
Now the mayor's indiscretion has landed him in a Clinton-style scandal that could cost him his job and his law license and even bring perjury charges.
Just one question: What is his political party? In 32 paragraphs, the AP never gets around to telling us. That can mean only one thing: not Republican.
