11. Extremely satisfying to hear this....

Kerik was hailed as a hero after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Pffft...! Lord knows why he would be called a hero - maybe because he didn't hide for 12 hours like President Bush?

12. Sorry I posted a dupe...

I looked and didn't see your thread and I posted the story and as soon as I posted I looked again and here it was.

Sorry about that. I was just happy that one of the BushCo stooges got sent up.

I'll give you a rec for a peace offering :hi:
