“It won’t be long before we are no longer discussing Rooty911. is ties to Kerik (sp?) will push him out the door.”
I’m still trying to figure out this guilt by association scenario. In politics, nearly every candidate has had a friendship with someone who got nailed for something. You have to have a wide network in politics, and among those people is inevitably going to be a bad apple or two. That doesn’t make you a bad person. Is Fred guilty of the sins of his drug running advisor he had to let go last week? No. So why is Rudy guilty of Kerik’s sins?
Anyway, I wouldn’t write off Giuliani too quick. I think most voters are more fair minded than to convict someone of the sins of another.
If he knew of the drug running he should be taken to task for it. That is inly if he knew he did it, and he had not already done time in jail.
I cannot imagine that as mayor of NYC that Rooty911 did not have close enough of a notion that Kerik has ties to crime, or his alleged affair with Judith Regan. I think that considering Rooty’s friends is on the table... especially those he is pushing for higher positions in government.
