It yet another dramatic [and childish] turn in what has become a ghetto soap opera, the Detroit City Council refused to hear Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's budget presentation. This is the first time Kilpatrick has come before council since it voted 7-1 in March to ask him to resign over the text-message scandal.

Kwame's face is priceless. He blamed Ken Cockrel and council members Sheila Cockrel and Kwame Kenyatta for the incident.

Ken Cockrel said the decision not to hear the mayor's presentation developed this morning in reaction to the mayor's criticism of the council last week that it should focus on its job instead of conducting hearings into the text message scandal.

Just earlier this week, the council meeting turned into a shouting match, resulting in one member calling the other "Shrek," which was actually pretty hilarious!

HOWEVER! The most important question of all: Why is homegirl in th yellow wearing a $2 tiara to the council meeting?!

See more after the jump!
