Today's installment of Name That Party brings us to Detroit, where Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is in all sorts of trouble over his close pal getting the inside scoop on city contracts, among other things.
This exhaustive piece, however, fails to mention Kilpatrick's party affiliation.
No mention of it here, either.
Associated Press? No mention.
A story about Kilpatrick, an affair with his chief of staff and a mysterious death?
Nothing.
Nothing here or here.
A petition to recall him? No mention.
Maybe the folks in Canada know. No, they're in the dark.
Wait, we may have found a hint as to what party he belongs to, buried deep on his own homepage.
Prior to his election as mayor in 2001, Kilpatrick made Michigan history as the first African-American, and the youngest person elected to lead either party in the Michigan Legislature when he became the leader of the House Democratic Caucus.Hmm. Just as we suspected, a Democrat.
