Kerik a Ticking Time Bomb
http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/politics/ny-nyhen034063947dec03,0,2450252.column

Campaign bodyguard to Rudy Giuliani.

Errand boy for the Saudi royal family.

Energetic exploiter of Sept. 11th tragedy.

Tough-talking publicity-hound vowing to bring law and order to Iraq - then hightailing it out of there after a disastrous 14 weeks, leaving the place far less safe than he found it.

Oh, the bullet points on Bernie Kerik's real-life resume just go on and on. But is this really the guy we want standing between us and the terrorists?

George W. Bush apparently thinks so.

9. Damn! I can NOT relate to a DLC type of Democratic Party ...
If this keeps up, perhaps the Greens were right = right now we only have ONE ruling party republican and their compliant stooges Lite DINO.

19. Method to their madness?
You almost get the feeling these days that the party is willing to go along and give * the rope to hang himself. Others may get hurt in the interim, but that's merely collateral damage.

Either that, or we're a one-party state.

It's this type of insanity that probably gives UK a reason to write such an article as this one:

Jeb v Hillary 2008!
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,11069-1343862,00.html

Why in the world would Clinton support/back this? This is horrible!

5. I have the feeling that it won't be long before Bernie has
his own little police force to keep us in line. Gee, they can be called the Security Army or the SA for short. Brown shirts would, of course, be the proper uniform.

6. Sounds like LIHOP #2 is a-brewing
(perhaps MIHOP #2)

Kerik is the PERFECT choice, an Imperial Family retainer and Party Loyalist.

Just the man to stand back and allow Bush Employee Osama Bin Laden to perform the sewcond part of His Master's work.

How are we going to get tht Draft and PATRIOT Act III without the gentle ministrations of that Longtime Bushfriend Bin Laden?

I don't think the Busheviks and their friends are going to wait until September this time, either.

Though if they had any balls at all they would set it up for Februrary 27th, the Anniversary of the Reichstag Fire.

You think Unka Dick and Unka Karl are jealous that the Nazis only had to LIHOP/MIHOP once, whereas the Imperials are going to have to stage two or three of 'em?

I bet they are jealous of the nazis for a number of reasons.

Anyway, hunker down Blue States. The Sitzkrieg will be ending soon with LIHOP #2: A Bush Family Production

POLICE FOUNDATION SPENT $3,000 TO SCULPT 'KERIK THE GREAT'
Fri Dec 03 2004 11:25:19 ET

President Bush on Friday nominated former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik to replace Tom Ridge as Homeland Security secretary.

During his time in NY, Kerik was immortalized for the ages in a 7-pound sculpture bust.

The NY Police Foundation, a nonprofit organization that raises funds for programs to support NYPD officers, quietly spent about $3,000 for 30 busts of Kerik in 2002.

11. Guys like Kerik couldn't kick a duck in the ass unless they stand
on a brick - and even then, odds are better than 50/50 they'd miss the mark.

Kerik reminds me of G. Gordon Liddy, where more than once, those in the know in DC referred to him as "Super Klutz".

17. I expected someone to post

"Professional Anus Licker To Head Homeland Security"



When asked to distinguish between his favorite eating holes, Giuliani's and Bush's, he replied, "It all tastes the same to me. Now help me off my knees, I'm famous."

(Pasted from the dupe thread)

22. Why is it that people think that people like Clinton and Schumer are
right to give this administration enough 'rope'? To hell with that stuff, that's crazy. Give them enough rope to hang themselves? Don't theY consider the collateral damage of that necktie party? It's us. It's you, it's me, it's my kids, it's your kids. So we're supposed to suffer and loose everything while they're hanging themselves? THAT IS JUST PLAIN FRIGGING CRAZY.

25. I agree, it is as you say just plain frigging crazy. I really don't
appreciate these guys taking chances with my family's lives just to make a point by taking this kind of a chance.

I don't know but everything I have been reading about this guy shows that everything about him is wrong, wrong, wrong for this job.

23. What the hell does Homeland Security Secretary do?
Other than help big duct tape and manage the color wheel of terror. Do they assign the rent-a-cops to nuclear facilities or what? I guess training the airport screeners on the ins and outs of groping women is a crucial job.

30. Yes, add "Deadbeat Dad" to that list
The child was raised by another soldier, who married the woman he abandoned. The daughter's an adult now. I wouldn't want anything to do with the bum, either, if I were her.
