Berny-ing Bush: Kerik Goes Down On Prez
Published December 11, 2004
SOME FUN!
And chalk one up for the skeletons in the closet of the nation's over-hyped "top cop".
For once (in four long horrible years), a Bush appointee was discovered to be a criminal BEFORE HE OFFICIALLY BEGAN WORKING FOR THE Bush Administration.
Friday night, (at 8:30 pm, the typical 'dead news' time during which the Bushies have always announced bad news!) — Bernie Kerik, of the NYPD, had to 'remove his name for consideration' from the Homeland Security nomination.
Apparently, the guy who was to oversee the movement of suspicious illegal aliens and untaxed, laundered terrorist cash in the US was undermined by his 'nanny' — a suspicious illegal alien who probably doesn't pay a lot of US and NY taxes — since she gets paid in laundered cash by NYPD's Top Cop.
Ahahaha. See how fun this can be!
Everyone was shocked, but I wasn't fooled for a second.
And I still believe the nanny thing is a smoke-screen for numerous other, more serious 'crimes' and accusations rattling around in Kerik's closet.
Taser-Boy apparently made a cool $6 million off of his TASER stocks; and he was both "top cop" in America's largest city, and top marketing mouth in his position on the TASER Board of Directors. (But note: a commercial conflict of interest isn't a disqualifying factor among the Bush Administration; It's a source of pride.)
Look, I hate to say I told you, but I didn't like this guy the first time I saw him strut up to a michrophone in one of those phoney "Let's be calm, America" speeches around 9/11.
Kerik reminds me of a few dozen PE coaches I had in high school back in the 1960s: The loose-cannon with a burr haircut. The macho psycho with an inferiority complex. The violent bully who confuses his punching fist with his heat-seeking hard-on. The "bachelor" ex-Marine drill instructor who secretly loves other men, wants to have sex with the boys basketball team, and yet has spent a lifetime denying his homosexuality because to be a homo would mean he's not as macho as he likes to pretend. (And they don't make camo tu-tus, do they?)
But these 'athletic, law and order' whack jobs still like to hang with the boyz, whether it's in the marine barracks, the high school locker room, or the cop's lounge down at the local Irish pub.
And I'd also bet that one could spit near Kerik and hit some NY mafioso connections. Ahaha.
Well, either way, Kerik is out of the running, and the Bush Administration has to find another candidate with equal qualifications.
hmmmm.
Is Roy Cohn still alive?
How 'bout J. Edgar Hoover?
heh.

Unfortunately, Bernie Thank God® is not the first Bush nominee whose twisted ways were known before he actually got his first day's pay; it's just that with Olson, for example, no one cared that he seemed to be lying under oath; I'm sure that was true for others as well. Hell, with Cheney on the same ticket, under the Twelfth Amendment, Texas shouldn't have been allowed to cast electoral votes for the pair. (Unless you believe his "home" in Wyoming was more than his Texas tax returns showed it to be.)
Re: "How 'bout J. Edgar Hoover?"
Where's Clint Eastwood when you need him? He was a politician wasn't he?
Go ahead. Osama, make my day... PUNK!
Kerik Goes Down On Prez
Well, my, my, my, isn't the Pres a popular man.
How about Guiliani? Gawd, what a dick.
His 'boy' has now become,
"...Wha? Bernie who?"
Guiliani appears to have about as much integrity as the rest of these fucking right-wing criminals.
Looks like it's back to the ol' Mafioso Prospect List for the job search committee.
So who wants to be cabin-boy on the Bush Titanic?
it is my impression that someone took the name of Andrew Sullivan in vain in the above comment
you are so upright Steve; I thought it was hilarious, just confirming it wasn't the pud himself
No, if it was really him, he would have wanted the distinction be known that it is cabin-boi.
and he voted for Kerry
true! There's a bit of self-worth there, but don't think for a minute he wouldn't jump at the chance to be the cabin boi to the Right.
at this point I think he'd be better off changing his name and starting over again - way too much baggage
both, actually, but I was referring to Sullivan

I don't disagree that Kerik is most likely a scumbag and perhaps has ties to the mob, but at least he did serve his country overseas in the armed forces, which is more than we can say for George aWol Bush and Dick "Chickenhawk" Cheney (he of the 5 deferments).
