From this article:

But the only moderately troubling information uncovered about Kerik so far was news that Kerik had earned $6.2 million by exercising stock options he received from Taser International, which did lucrative business with the Department of Homeland Security, this official said.

Much thanks. I saw that.

Mort Zuckerman was on Scarborough a little while ago with Pat Buchanan. He seems to think reporters were set to unleash a string of accusations based upon their investigative research, that Kerik was probably tipped off by the calls from reporters asking for comment on this or that incident from his past, and something caused him to undercut the mob by withdrawing his nomination. Only caught part of the discussion, so I don't whether Zuckerman let slip anything USNews might have been working.

Considering his long exposure through the NYPD, New York Department of Corrections, city and state politics . . . and simply his private life . . . impossible to know, unless he tells us, why he really withdrew. Personal reasons sounds good.

At this moment, Fox is hyping up the Nanny-gate aspect . . . Yep, personal reasons sounds good to me.

Naturally, the Rats and the MSM assume that there must be some corruption here because it involves a Republican. With these scum you are always guilty until proven innocent or until you withdraw your name from consideration.

But, of course, Terry McAwful can turn 100K into 18 million with Global Crossing stock and he's considered a shrewd investor - even though it's flagrantly obvious that the company was helping him all along. The double standard is not surprising but makes it no less insidious.
