DETROIT – A judge has sentenced former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to 120 days in jail, nine months after a newspaper story about text messages ignited a scandal at City Hall. Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner ordered the sentence Tuesday afternoon and noted Kilpatrick would not be given an opportunity for early release.

1. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

But I fear this is not the last we have seen of him. I hope more information will come out in the Tamara Greene court case that will condemn him further. I think he still has political aspirations!! Yikes.
