That was amusing but I think that what was lost in this was that Monica Conyers was claiming her right to speak was being curtailed when actually it was her failure to respect parliamentary procedure and not recognizing the rights of the President to control the meeting.

I don't get this scenario at all. What was Sam Riddle doing? I thought he's given up on Monica Conyers. What point did they hope to make? And did they think they succeeded? Why did they let this get out?

What am I missing?

Kid_Dynamite writes as if she's a retarded 11 year old girl. About as much insight and intellect. Hey, if I wanted to hear from an arsehole, I would have farted.

Kierra Bell for City Council President Pro Tem...why the hell was she debating an 8th grader? Kierra was more mature than she.

Monica just proves she has no standards or ethics. She'd probably fight an old lady on a respirator.

Unbelievable behavior from someone who is in an authoratative position in Detroit. (anyone wonder between KK and her why Detroit has problems??) Kiera was simply fantastic in her rebuttals to Conyers. That girl is going to go places, it would be great to hear in a few years she is taking charge of things in Detroit. There are kids living in Detroit who will make something of themselves. It is a nice thing to see.

Spacemonkey is right, a couple of one-liners every so often is fine, but a constant stream is tiresome. You can yell at me too, but you might just take Spacemonkey's observation to heart.
---
I truly think that Sam got bamboozled by Charlie LeDuff. Theory: LeDuff goes to Sam with an idea to reshape Monica's image ... let's use children to soften Monica; meanwhile, LeDuff has some ringers in his group of tiny assassins. Sam is surprised, Monica looks crazy. Oh Snap!

From everything I know about Mr. LeDuff he is deliberate in shaping his stories. Not dishonest, just deliberate.

Gnome..are you kidding me? He copied my analysis of HIM from the Quicken thread word for word. That is the exact post I said about him. I am curious to see how you might have concluded something about me like that. Do a little research on this guy's posting history.

Gnome, Kid isn't lying.

Anyways, day by day, Monica manages to make herself look more akin to a chipmunk than an actual person. I'm actually starting to enjoy her antics since it provides me something to dwell on in Math class.

Gnome, Kid_Dynagirl swiped my post from here and pasted it in the Quicken thread. He's a copycat. I wish he would stop name calling and try to mature about this whole internet posting thing.

I suggest you take it to the "Apartment" thread. :-)

Don't forget, though, that Monica Conyers isn't the only problem on Council. She is acting so outrageous that it takes our attention away from some of the other problems (i.e. Martha Reeves, BRC, etc).

Monica is supposed to be a guest on KK's CTV show? I can't believe that he would want her for any kind of support. They've either got something on her and feel that they can keep her on a tight leash, have promised her something greater when this is all over, or else they want to put her forward as the face of Common counsel and hope that they can get her to go off; KK has GOT to be be thanking God for Monica!

Ken C. and Kwame K. need to get the spotlight back on them. Monica's stealing both the show, and whatever credibility Council still has.

Conyers was woefully outclassed by a group of eight graders???

Between this story, and the recent letter in the Free Press from the high school student calling on kk to resign, I'm confident that Detroit will be in good hands with the next generation.

Whether or not there will be anything left for them considering how things are going in another story.

I would like to see Kierra Bell give some of the above posters a lesson in how adults should conduct themselves. Or am I wrong to assume they're adults?

Kid_dynotard has zero sense of humor. He's obviously a broke-ass Quicken loan officer who's screwed in this economy. Cheer up pal. The mortgage industry will pick up in a decade or two.

I'm guessing it has more to do with the type of person she is than the people she has in her inner circle, but it's too bad someone either can't or feel it would be pointless to grab her and shake a little sense into her.

That tape is shockingly embarrassing and she probably is the only person who doesn't realize it.

that Kiera Bell is a smart girl. very well versed and intelligent. She'd be a better councilwoman than Conyers.

LMAO! :-)

That girl is definitely going far in life.

"Between this story, and the recent letter in the Free Press from the high school student calling on kk to resign, I'm confident that Detroit will be in good hands with the next generation."

Watch your typical Baby Boomers/Busters continue to destroy Detroit until the Y/internet (the most informed BTW) generation takes over.

Monica seemed utterly dumbfounded that those kids didn't just agree with her, and that they had better reasoning power and a greater understanding of public behavior.
Why does she keep demanding to be respected when it's obvious that she has done nothing to earn it, nor does she seemingly respect anyone else?

Jcole is right. I've noticed that people who loudly demand respect rarely give it.
