Uh-Oh.....

Kwame Kilpatrick, the hip-hop mayor, (his term) of the great city of Detroit has been caught in a bit of a lie. Seems while testifying at a trial this past year his honor denied having an affair, uh em, "relationship" with his chief of staff. (no pun intended). Denied it several times while under oath. So did the Chief of Staff. Case is over, city lost and is paying 9 million. No worries eh?

Well, it seems they did have a relationship. Pretty steamy one by the text messages that have been released in the Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his chief of staff lied about their relationship last summer at a police whistle-blower trial that has cost the cash-strapped city more than $9 million, according to records obtained by the Free Press.

The false testimony potentially exposes them to felony perjury charges, legal experts say.

Lied under oath, twice, perjury, gosh, ya think so? If this was you or I we would be hipp-hopping off to the local jail. But the Mayor? I'm guessing the District Attorney gives it a pass. Just a feeling..........What say you?

UPDATE: This is a Great article to play "name the party" with. Long article, no mention of Kwame's party affiliation....imagine that...he's DEMOCRAT!
