Kerik, Doh!

Tico - this board was full of comments about Teresa's place of birth and early background during the campaign. Nasty comments.

I dunno why Kerik's wife's origin is of interest, though I find it odd that he refers to her fair skin.

Okay. Must have been before my time began here ...

Not that I don't believe you eh, but I never saw a disparaging thing about Teresa's background. Of course I skipped a lot of slime-ball posts.

finn, the process seems to involve people who are, as we say.'without clue', so why not private contractors. Kerik could have been done by a simple call to any day room of a NY paper. These things, especially the Tiffany badge and the judy Regan thing were topics on "wait wait, dont tell me". Not like it was a big secret. DC people oughta see outside the beltway once in a while.

you have to admit , its funny.

Only in a extremely partisan discourse is there some supposed material fault on the part of the Bush administration.

Those problems, law enforcement officials and Republicans said, were just two of the factors that led to the collapse of the Kerik nomination and surprised a White House focused on changing more than half the cabinet.

The story of Mr. Kerik's nomination is one of how a normally careful White House faltered because of Mr. Bush's personal enthusiasm for Mr. Kerik, a desire by the administration to quickly fill a critical national security job and an apparent lack of candor from Mr. Kerik himself.

And can those who are excoriating Kerik for having an extramarital affair say they felt the same way about Clinton?

The real difference, as I'm sure you know but just overlooked, is that President Clinton never called us on to preserve the sanctity of marriage.

You know, like Bush's good friend Rudy Giuliani, that paragon of virtue who pushed for Bernie Kerik's nomination, has.

Is this a situation where you feel there should be one set of rules for Republicans, and a different set of rules for Democrats?

LOL. Of course Clinton never stressed the sanctity of marriage. Are you saying Kerik did?

This is a situation where the glaring hypocrisy of the GOP is so obvious to anyone without partisan blinders that it is to laugh out loud until one shits himself (but manages to refrain from vomiting into his sweatpants).

That was a funny story, by the way. I read it to my wife until she went running out of the room screaming.
