For the sake of the state, Governor, remove Kilpatrick now

Mr. White, testified that he suffered a fractured hip after being shoved into his partner by Mr. Kilpatrick, who played football in college.

Notice that this is in the New York Times. We’re a laughing stock. The time has come to end this parade of arrogance.
