    McThug fired by Compuware....

    Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was fired from his job today after being sentenced to prison for probation violation.

    “Kwame Kilpatrick will be off the Compuware Corporation payroll at the end of the month," said a company statement. "We don’t have any choices. It’s an unfortunate situation, and we feel bad for his family, but our hands are tied.”

    End of the month? They want to pay him more for not working? Dump him now.

    It would be nice to see somebody drag Karmanos into court at the point of a loaded subpoena to explain the whole sham-job arrangement with Kwame.

    And the Kilpatrick family showed some real class outside the courtroom. A brother in law shouted obscenities at a news crew. McThug's uncle flashed the finger at the same news crew.

    The clock is ticking on Mama Cheeks and Big Daddy Bernard. The Kilpatrick family may end up with its own wing at Jackson (or more likely, Milan Federal). The whole thug bunch is going for a ride. Including Carlita, if they tie her to the murder.

    Re: Detroit meltdown thread: McThug looking at real prison time?

    Oh, how sweet would it be to see that live? Rack that blast.

    Rot in hell, Kwame. I hope they send you to Baraga.

    If it wasn't said already, the gasp on the web feed is incredible. Props to Judge Groner and the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office for getting the job done. 18 months is fine with me.

    The facebook comments are, of course, out of control.

    http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=129854240360877&id=232834150092

    I also just wrote a letter to Peter Karmanos asking for Kwame's job of getting paid $160k/year plus bonuses and commissions to sell ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. If I were a Compuware share holder, I'd be livid.

    Groner oficially starts throwing the book at him at 4:00, he raises the hammer at 5:55 and brings it down at 7:30....... , gasp time 8:06. Enjoy.

    Of course McThug's peanut gallery couldn't restrain themselves from audibly stage-whispering, "Oh, shit!!"

    Groner should have dished out contempt-of-court sentences like M&M's right on the spot.

    Bam goes the gavel, and YOU GET TO GO FOR THIRTY DAYS, TOO. I'll give you something to gasp "oh shit" about.
