Wonder if Christine Beatty will flip.
You know, the Detroit mayor’s recently resigned chief of staff who, according to published text messages, had an affair with hizzoner about which they both allegedly lied in court.
AKA perjury.
Now she’s charged with seven felonies.
I posted this question shortly after the text message scandal hit the streets. It seems relevant now, since Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy in today’s (May 1, 2008) Detroit Free Press said she’d listen to any pitch Beatty wants to make about a plea deal.
So, will she cut a deal with the prosecutor?
In the movies, they call it “turning state’s evidence.”
In other words, snitch on hizzoner.
Wouldn’t that be, well, betrayal?
Betrayal.
Like the way Kwame kicked her out into the cold? Fired her and wished her good luck?
This from the guy who told Beatty in a text message: “I promise you for the rest of my life you will be my girl.”
Betrayal.
Isn’t that what this whole saga is about?
