The Halliburton Syndrome.
Kerik did the right thing by stepping aside. The liberals were clamoring for a payback for the failed nominations of Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood by Bill Clinton to be his Attorney General for reasons of Illegal Alien nannygate. I agree that Kerik needed to go although it is a loss for us because he would have been a wonderful Secretary, but this is how it is in politics. I do not think that Giuliani will want this job since he probably has his eye on the Governorship of New York (I do not think that Pataki should run again, he will lose...New York has gone sour on him just like they did on Mario CUomo after three terms). Maybe Pataki should take Homeland Security instead.
