Kwame Kilpatrick: the new America's Mayor

With Rudy Giuliani's presidential bid crumbling like so much superheated iron and concrete, can it really still be said that Giuliani is "America's Mayor"? Not anymore. That title belongs to a vibrant leader, someone with a big heart. Someone who truly embodies the American ethos.

For example, a mayor with the leveraging power to throw an (allegedly) crazy stripper party in an electorate-designated mansion. Someone so in touch with the American dream that he leased his wife an SUV using taxpayer money. And during a budget crisis, no less? Now, that's American.

With this week's revelation of adulterous text messages bringing still more shameful American glory to the office of Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, 23/6 is proud to truly declare him the new America's Mayor. May the crown not rest too heavy on your ridiculous, amazing brow, sir.
