I cannot traduce the Bush administration too much for assuming that Kerik would not flat out lie to them. Who could have imagined that he would be that stupid and character flawed?

"Who could have imagined that he would be that stupid and character flawed?"

You could infer from this that:

a) Rudy is already on the short list for 2008

b) Rudy personally vouched for Kerik...thus shortcircuiting the normal upfront screening.

c) Kerik is street smart tough, a bit of a hustler, and in way over his head politically.

Who's traducing? I do plead guilty to enjoying the irony.

Seems to me to be the perfect example of one who will lie to
save his own ass.

Consider Kerik's mentor and then reconsider your query.

I could look at the guy and tell you that.
