Yes, you heard that right. Kwame, in reference to Blago (blowjobovich)’s prison term, sent out THIS tweet, which I’ve screen capped in case of deletion, about KILLING STRIPPERS and getting less time in prison. How far have we fallen from the truth? Not very, in Kwame’s case.

Kwame Kilpatrick Stands Up For Blago
By Edward McClelland
One of Rod Blagojevich’s stoutest defenders — literally and figuratively — is a fellow disgraced Midwestern politician, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Kilpatrick, who was forced to resign after lying under oath about having an affair with his chief of staff, took to Twitter on Wednesday. Using the #FreeBlago hashtag, he tweeted “PRAY for my dude #Blago, the Feds trying to lock him up for a long bid today.”
After Judge James Zagel handed Blagojevich a 14-year sentence, Kilpatrick pointed out, in a poorly worded tweet that referred to a personal legal matter, that many murderers serve less time than the governor will.
I’m not exactly a fan of Kilpatrick, but we did go to the same junior high school in Lansing, Michigan, while his mother, former Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, was serving in the Michigan State House of Representatives. Kilpatrick and Magic Johnson are the school’s two most famous alumni. So there’s a connection. Also, I agreed with him that Blagojevich’s sentence was too harsh. So I tweeted “@KwameKilpatrick I know a murderer who got less than #Blago. Guy in Lansing killed his gay lover, did 7 for 2nd degree.”
A few hours later, Kilpatrick tweeted back, “smh.” Shaking My Head.
Kilpatrick has good reason to be concerned about long federal prison sentences. He’s already served a year in prison for violating his probation on an obstruction of justice charge. Next year, he’s going on trial in federal court for allegedly taking $1 million in kickbacks on water and sewer contracts.
