WASHINGTON - Bernard Kerik, New York City's former top cop, withdrew his name from consideration to be President Bush homeland security secretary, a victim of the embarrassing "nanny problem" that has killed the nominations of other prominent officials.
The surprise move late Friday sends Bush back in search of a Cabinet official to help guard the nation against another terrorist attack.
According to NPR this morning he also held considerable stock and stock options in companies that did business with the agency he was nominated to head. One wonders who vetted this guy before he was nominated.
