It's Business Time: Beatty Resigns, Kwame Still AWOL

The woman always gets it worse than the man, doesn't she?

This didn't take long, but Christine Beatty, the text-message freak, resigned today. This comes after a Detroit Free Press investigation showed Beatty and Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick lied under oath about their affair and conspired to fire a man who could blow the whistle on them.

Since the Freep investigation blew their lies out in the open, nobody has seen Kwame, who in my opinion should be the next in line to offer his resignation.

For her, she had no other choice. This is why women shouldn't even try to sleep their way to the top, because when the shit goes bad, it's real bad. The sad thing is, even if Kwame does resign, he has a lot better chance of rebounding than Beatty does.

Not that Kwame could ever be governor, but political affairs seemingly enhance a man's reputation and completely destroy a woman's. Bill Clinton may wind up in the presidential office again, as The First Man. Monica Lewinsky? Last I saw her she was on a Slim Fast commercial. From kneepads to tasteless-ass milkshakes. The expectation is that political men screw around. It's accepted and, somewhat encouraged.

Kwame could find a government job somewhere. Heck, he may be mayor for another term. Where could Beatty go from here? Back to the kneepads? Her future in city government is ruined. Her best bet is to get a kickback from Kwame the rest of her life.

Two thoughts come to mind: 1. That's some expensive-ass dick. Cost you your career, reputation and livelihood. 2. If only they had decided, not to put Business Time on text message.
