The realy sad thing is, especially considering Ol' Bernie was able to pull all of that off for so long without detection, he'd gave been perfect for the Homeland Security post. That was a lot of secretive affairs/sensitive informnation to be juggling - and it's not always a bad thing to have certain "ties."

Exactly wrong.
Character counts, remember? This sneaking around (while his taxpayer salaried posse waits outside) is dangerous and sexual liaisons have compromised more than one high ranking politico (remember Profumo?).
I don't care how tough his image is, "Ol' Bernie" is neither honest nor principled and a deadbeat (unless his daughter doesn't count because she's a Korean love-child). Add his obvious penchant for abusing his position into the mix and, if it weren't for his 911 performance, we'd be calling him the scumbag he really is.
He can't disappear fast enough for me.
