Oh why won’t the city of Cleveland build on KiD CuDi’s momentum??? After a remarkable Billboard debut, unemployment is at 14.8%, the Browns still suck and the mayor of East Cleveland is a real life Tootsie.

According to Mayor Brewer, it was the police department and his mayoral opponent, Gary Norton, that allegedly ganked the pictures from his personal computer in attempts to “smear” his campaign…and make-up.

“While I am not, and will not authenticate any of the pictures, since it appears as that they and the e-mail that my opponent has caused to be distributed are personal in nature, the fact is they are embarrassing to our city,” said Brewer.

Obviously by not standing tall and denying his likeness, the statement all but indicates guilt. What self-respecting man would allow this to go on their résumé? The residents of EC can bicker and babble on what may or may not have been done for the city but the fact remains their mayor has the keys to the city in his bustier.
