Nah... Kerik prefers older, well-connected women.
He was having sex with his publisher instead.

And remember that the NY Post, two days ago, ran a MAJOR MAJOR story on the Marc Rich pardon and his ties to the Food For Oil disgrace at the UN.
So its not as if the Post is on an anti-GOP witchhunt or anything.... the Post is staunchly Republican.
But the Kerik mess is just too salacious to resist.

And Kerik knew all these "salacious" details would eventually come to light. I'm quite disappointed that allowed his nomination to even be announced, not to mention the embarrassment he has caused the President.

Wheter we agree with it or not, haven't we been 'taught' that we are supposed to celebrate sexual romps such as his? I mean, it's merely a part of who he is. What's the big deal?

And we post this story, why? It's a legitimate story. Kerik was having an extramarital affair with his publisher, using an apartment donated for the use of 9/11 rescue workers. It shows a supreme arrogance and lack of character.
The other story is the Bush Administration's staggering lack of diligence in screening applicants. This is not the first time this has happened. Wasn't there a Labor Secretary nominee who had some problems? Or do I have that wrong?
Remember when Henry Kissinger was named head of the 9/11 Commission? Forget that Kissinger is one of the most well connected men in Washington and would never be seen as objective, he had Saudi Arabian clients. Why did no one check? What is the Bush Administration's problem?

"It's a legitimate story. Kerik was having an extramarital affair with his publisher, using an apartment donated for the use of 9/11 rescue workers. It shows a supreme arrogance and lack of character."
Is it! Well, let me see. It is his private business, private life, he was certainly able to do his job since he had a lot of commendations. I think this is just an example of a vast left-wing conspiracy out to smear a good man.
So what if he used an apartment, and it just happened to overlook Ground Zero. Afterall, what if he needed to go there immediately. For heaven's sake!
Bill Clinton was crucified for having a personal life, and he used the Oval Office, not to mention that he had quite a few interns helping him out. Seems like this is nothing to me.
Can't we just move on?

Jim, you've convinced me. Sordid, private, adulterous sex has no bearing whatsoever on public persona. Private character has no impact on public behavior. I want Bernie Kerik to protect my Homeland, not babysit my daughter. The two have nothing in common. I am totally comfortable in my cognitive dissonance.
Furthermore, I am a sophisticated 21st century man, not a 16th century Puritan Nazi moralist, therefore I dismiss immoral sex with a shrug, a roll of the eyes, and simply say "everybody does it." Anyone who asserts that everybody doesn't do it is simply too stupid and naive to be taken seriously.
Am I picking it up here? :) :)

1. This is a lot of made up BS
2. This is no big deal if true
3. If you think this is a big deal, the problem is with you, not Bernie.

Nick, He was not fit for the job obviously, but I am struck by the ferocity being slung Kerik's way by the NYT and other liberal newspapers. Where were they when Bill Clinton was President? Do you recall this outrage then? I don't. No.. it was totally different then. :)
Peace.. have a nice evening.

Dear "newzjunky": "sick freak" is an interesting choice of words. I heard Glenn Beck going on about this today and I saw him in a whole new light: a cheesy, two-bit self-righteous busy body.
He knocks the media for being irrelevant, yet he set the example of irrelevance today when he started going through second-hand dirty laundry attributed to Kerik.
I turned the station: don't have time to listen to such trash. Why should I or anyone care about Kerik's alleged follies?
See, when you have a life, you don't need to get all wrapped up in someone else's...

...Mr. Kerik paid for use of the apartment... Hold it - if that's the case, then it was no longer donated for the 9-11 cleanup effort. The guy has no morals, but the press is having a field day with an aspect that is, at best, a half-truth.
(Of course, when has that stopped them in the past?)

This Kerik story is found money for the tabloids. What a Christmas gift.....a salacious theme wrapped in juicy red meat. Mmmmmmm..... Too bad it's all true. What a contemptible louse. Surely Bush knew about the bankruptcy, the lawsuits, the harrassment claims, the affairs. Was this all really just seen as "color" to his "personality"??? Seems that the same idiot who is coming up with our border-control policy was vetting Kerik for our President.
