Pure unadulated baloney! Kerik got out before the confirmation process! No harm done,imho. We might get somebody even better than Bernie, who I liked and still do. But to say that this hurts President Bush is more than a stretch.
I honestly believe that Mayor Guilianni has no interest in holding any office higher than Senator. I do think he may run for Senator (NY - Duh...) in 2006...but I can't help thinking that he'll run for Mayor of NYC again someday...if he does return to politics, that is. I'm not sure how the term limits work (slap me!) but I do believe that the only rule is that a mayor may not have more two consecutive terms...Anyhow, NYC is where his heart and soul are and he is still the best man for that thankless job!
Why would he want to embarrass the President? He endorsed him, and otherwise supported him in the election!
The nanny thing is the least of it, and not a good reason for him to withdraw, even though it was enough to sink Linda Chavez four years ago. Kerik is dirty: he's made millions already in war-profiteering investments. Let's let Democrats own that kind of hypocrisy.
You're welcome.
Merry Christmas, Lady In Blue.
If that's "thorough", I'd hate to see "slipshod"....
