Having said that....while the local news are saying:
"It's a sad day in Detroit[referring to Mayor Kwame K/Christine B's indictments], it's a sad day in Michigan..."

My co-workers, associates, family members and myself are saying:
"Like H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICK (LL), it is!"

The only ones who may be sad are Kwame, his mama...and his brainwashed loyalists, but everyone else that I've spoken to are sending high 5's, "kwames" (texts messages), making phone calls, and sending emails congratulating Kym Worthy and her legal team on handling their business!

I admit it, I was shocked Kym Worthy sought to indict Kwame & Christine...myself , along with others assumed she would've said there was "insufficient evidence" in reference to Kwame & Christine.

That was not the case, in fact here are the charges against Kwame Kilpatrick & Christine Beatty:

UPDATE:: Beatty has accepted full responsibility for her actions in the Kilpatrick/Beatty tryst. See the words in bold font in her resignation letter, below.

CHRISTINE BEATTY RESIGNATION LETTER:

January 28, 2008

Dear Mayor Kilpatrick,

I would first like to thank you and the citizens of Detroit for the opportunity to have worked for the city that I love so much over the past six years.

Serving as Chief of Staff for the Kilpatrick administration since 2002 has been an honor and a privilege. I was born and raised in Detroit and my childhood goal was always to serve my city. I came back home after college to do just that. Serving our citizens and helping to transform Detroit into an even greater city is what I've been dedicated to everyday since January 2002.

As Chief of Staff, I managed key city departments in such areas as human services and labor relations as well as administering the day to day operations of the Mayor's office. I've served the administration and Detroit citizens with diligence, strength and perserverance and I hope that my efforts will one day show through above all else.

In spite of this, however, I believe that it is clear I can no longer effectively carry out the duties of Chief of Staff. Therefore, this letter serves as my resignation effective, February 8, 2008 to allow for an orderly transition of my duties with the new chief of staff. I painfully regret the devastation that the recent reports have caused to the citizens of Detroit, to my co workers, to the Mayor's family and to my family and friends.

Again, I thank you and the citizens of Detroit for the opportunity to serve.

Sincerely,

Christine L. Beatty

Did u note my sarcasm at the beginning of this post. She regrets the devastation THE REPORTS caused...I didn't know affairs were now known as "THE REPORTS?!" You guys must keep me abreast of new slang!!

******

Sad-this mess had to get on a National laughingstock level b4 Beatty decided to kick rocks! She should've stepped down a long time ago. As mean as she is though-I wouldn't want her to catch me on a street by myself! She ......scares...me..lol

It's going to take 'all the king's horses, and all the king's men' to drag Kwame the control freak-out of his rendezvous den!
He ain't goin out without a fight, and he ain't going down in flames.

(Christine "Why'd U tell Harpo To Hit Me?!" Beatty, pic b'low)

ALERT: Christine Beatty (Kwame's side dish) Resigning WXYZ has learned that Christine Beatty is resigning her post as chief of staff for the city of Detroit. WATCH COVERAGE IN VIDEO PLAYER DETROIT

(AP) - Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's chief of staff says she is resigning amid allegations raised last week that she and the mayor lied under oath about an affair. Christine Beatty said today in a letter to Kilpatrick released by his office that her resignation is effective February 8th. Beatty says she believes it's clear that she can no longer effectively carry out her duties. Kilpatrick spokesman James Canning says the mayor's office had no comment on the resignation. A prosecutor on Friday launched an investigation into the allegations. They came to light when the Detroit Free Press reported details of sexually explicit text messages between Beatty and Kilpatrick. source

Any Wagers on How This "Investigation" Will Turn Out???

UPDATE: Kym Worthy's Press Conference

NEW: Prosecutor Investigating Mayor, Beatty

story and video here

The Wayne County prosecutor says she has opened an investigation following a newspaper report that Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his top aide exchanged sexually explicit text-messages.


DETROIT (AP) - The Wayne County prosecutor says she has opened an investigation following a newspaper report that Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his top aide exchanged sexually explicit text-messages.

The messages appear to contradict the pair's denials in court that they had romantic ties.

Prosecutor Kym Worthy didn't elaborate on the specifics of her investigation, but says she was unaware of the text messages until she read a report in the Detroit Free Press yesterday.

The text messages raise the question of whether the mayor and Chief of Staff Christine Beatty committed perjury during a whistle-blower trial last summer.

A conviction of lying under oath can bring up to 15 years' imprisonment.

A spokesman for Kilpatrick has said Kilpatrick and his family "plan to continue their private time for the next several days."

Beatty hasn't commented since the story ran.

Kym Worth statement...

"Yesterday there was an article that appeared in the Detroit Free Press about the mayor and his chief of staff. I found out about this article when you did, in the morning newspaper.

"There are people who mistakenly believe that this office has been conducting an investigation. That could not be further from the truth and we have received no information whatsover from any police agency.

"News reports and articles are not investigations and they are not evidence. We cannot and will not make any potential charging decision based on that.

"However, here is the decision that I have made. The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office will conduct an independent investigation that will be fair, impartial, and thorough. We will not be rushed by anyone or anything.

"We will only be influenced by the evidence and the facts that develop -- and nothing, I mean nothing else. Thank you for coming."

Mayor Perjury Press Conf. Friday

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has scheduled a press conference for 10 a.m. Friday to discuss the possibility of perjury charges against Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

WXYZ.com will carry the press conference live. source

****
I was informed today, that Kym W and Kwame are real cool with each other.
Which leads to this question:
Will Kym Worthy allow her emotions to dictate her job, or will her job dictate what her job title includes??
I.e., will she handle her biz w/Kwame?
We'll see.
She better remember-her position is done by election, and Michiganders have lonnnnnnnng memories.
