Conyers Says She's Ready to Lead Detroit City Council: I Think Not

President Pro Tempore Monica Conyers says she's ready to lead the Detroit City Council once Council President Ken Cockrel becomes acting Mayor of Detroit.

YEAH, RIGHT.





She called Cockran "Shrek" in the above exchange. She was more concerned about being disrespected and was extremely rude herself.

Her temper will get the best of her and she'll turn the city council meetings into a bigger farce than they are now. And that's assuming that she comes out of the FBI investigation of the council in the clear.

Here's more of her fine leadership qualities on display:

• Yesterday she ran away from the press after calling them "evil" and requested an escort past them.
• During the Democratic National Convention she called the Denver police to moderate a dispute between her, her staff and the hotel that she was staying at. Calling the police for something like THAT?
• She threatened to shoot one of outgoing Mayor Kilpatrick's aides at a pension meeting and then threatened to have her four brothers "whup his a$$."

She's promised to behave, but given the type of politics that goes on at the City Council meetings, will she be able to keep order and stay in order?
