That’s the question of the hour in the increasingly scandalous life of Kwame Kilpatrick, the mayor of Detroit, who had a woman other than his wife with him at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, N.C. before speaking at the Martin Luther King Prayer Breakfast Friday morning.

Organizers? Not pleased.

The embattled, scandal-prone Kilpatrick was reportedly seen in the North Carolina city with some woman named Carmen Slowsky.

Kwame Kilpatrick and Carmen Slowsky had enjoyed champagne and a whirlpool bath together at a cost of more than $500.

A copy of the hotel invoice shows a stay arranged for two.

Things are going from bad to worse for Kwame Kilpatrick.

This comes after Michigan prosecutors launched an investigation into allegations that Kwame Kilpatrick lied under oath about an extramarital affair with his chief of staff, Christine Beatty.

Kilpatrick has said the affair with Beatty is over, and some say he is unlikely to be charged, but political damage lingers.

Asheville Mayor Terry Bellamy icked Kilpatrick up at the airport, saw him at the breakfast and again at dinner, where he was alone each time. Yet questions about Carmen Slowsky continue to hound the mayor.

“I think it’s very disappointing to have this happen,” Bellamy said.

“Kwame Kilpatrick’s speech was a chance to energize the community around mentoring and tutoring our youth. The event was meant to focus on Dr. King’s legacy and now the focus is on this.”

So who is Carmen Slowsky? Is that an alias for Christine Beatty or someone else, or is she a real person?
