Federal judge revokes Bernard Kerik's bail; ex-top cop headed to prison
Source: NY Daily News

A judge tossed former NYPD commissioner Bernard Kerik in jail for trying to taint the jury pool via the Internet Tuesday - days before the top cop's corruption trial starts.

Federal Judge Stephen Robinson approved a prosecution request to revoke Kerik's bail after they discovered non-public documents placed on a Web site affiliated with Kerik's defense.

"I fear he has a toxic combination: self-minded focus and arrogance," the White Plains federal judge said.

That combination shows Kerik feels "the end justifies the means" and that "the rulings of the court are inconvenient and are to be ignored," Robinson said.

2. Now jailed in One Police Plaza?
Where he used to be the Police Commissioner, before Bush named him for head of national security or something?

12. flashback: Bush names former N.Y. police commissioner Kerik to Homeland Security post
http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-103049999.html

President George W. Bush has chosen former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik, who helped direct the emergency response to the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes against the Twin Towers, to lead the Homeland Security Department, charged with safeguarding Americans from future attack, administration officials said.

Bush also announced his choice of Nebraska Gov. Mike Johanns to be agriculture secretary, selecting a dairy farmer's son who has traveled widely to promote American farm sales abroad.

9. "A toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance"
It makes perfect sense that Bush wanted this guy as his Homeland Security chief. He looked into his eyes, saw his soul, and liked what he saw. :puke:
