Monica Conyers is the Gift That Keeps on Giving

Despite a pledge she made before assuming the office of Detroit City Council President, Monica Conyers has once again opened up her cavernous mouth and launched some ear-burning insults at another human being. Monica Conyers is the trophy wife of US. Rep. John Conyers (D).

We all know that this is not rare behavior from the gentle Monica as she has a well documented history of high profile fisticuffs and confrontations that go back several years. If you have not sparred with Monica Conyers you have been keeping a pretty low profile in Detroit politics, have been staying away from the local bar scene, and are not employed within the Denver hospitality industry.

Monica's antics even earned her a good scolding last year by an elementary school student for being rude and somewhat of a bully. The girl miraculously escaped without having her hair pulled.

Now it is Kwame Kenyatta that is under fire from Mrs. Conyers.

Sources who described the incident on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter said the Feb. 4 argument escalated after Conyers called Kenyatta stupid, following his insistence that she submit in writing her request to cut his budget.

When Kenyatta asked her what she said, Conyers responded he needed to learn how to talk to a woman.

Kenyatta shot back that when he was with a woman, he would do so. That prompted Conyers to yell at Kenyatta that he was stupid, citing his lack of a college degree, to tell him he "can't hear" -- a dig at his hearing aid -- and to try to rub in his face rumors that Kenyatta has cancer.

Last year Conyers made similar attacks against then City Council President Ken Cockrell, Jr., who now sits in the mayor's office after the ouster of former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

What type of deranged sociopath delights in the rumors of another person's health problems and celebrates her delight in open political dialog? Making fun of a hearing aid is poor elementary school level taunting while Monica's own behavior should easily disprove the belief that intelligence is a plausible prerequisite for receiving a college degree. (Thank you CMU for lowering your educational standards to that abysmal level.)

In her next life, Monica Conyers may well be a cage fighting champion having kicked the ass of every wookie challenger in five star systems, but today she is little more than an uncontrolled grappler with no proper arena in which to fight outside the locked doors of a bedroom that should have both his and her padded walls.

Later, Kenyatta responded to questions about the incident by saying that this was typical behavior from Conyers and that she needs help. Thank you for understating the obvious.

Monica Conyers needs every bit of help that she can gather, but she needs more than that. The apologies are now wearing a bit thin from a woman that has proven time and time again that her rare cocktail of arrogance, defensiveness, and temper simply are uncontrollable to any substantive level. Mrs. Conyers needs to resign before she brings on even more disgrace to a once great city. She, in one person, provides the perfect human analogy to the decay of Detroit, and this city desperately needs to rid itself of such analogies serving at high levels within its government.

In the mean time, if and when the help comes, let us hope that it at least includes a muzzle.
