Not that Kerik is not guility of all these things - but the liberal media (especially the NY Daily News) has hated Guiliani and Kerik since they were mayor and police commissioner. This is payback from the NY Daily News and NY democrats. This is not going away until Guiliani says he will not run in 2008. Then the NY liberal media will be satisfied because the have gotten what they want.
In sales, that is called a "big fat claim." It is quite effective, seriously, when you follow it up with evidence.
I admit I haven't followed this very closely, but all I am aware of is the old "hiring of an illegal alien" card being played against him.
He could be dirty. I don't know. I didn't really follow this that much and had heard he was sort of a "kid from the wrong side of the tracks makes good" sort of story.
Is there a lot of compelling stuff coming out about him?
The problem with today's reporters is that they do not know understand what they are reporting. Who qualifies these idiots to be reporters. It's a sad joke.
FLASH-Kerik beat up black kid in Grammar school. Details at eleven.
By the way - since when are we guilty through association in this country. I'm a real estate developer dealing with every trade group in the book. I know some of these guys are probably dirty but what am I supposed to do go out and get FBI checks on my garbage company owner. This is out of control.

I think anybody with a lenghty career in NYC is going to be covered from head to toe in pigeon droppings.
Oh, good grief! My daughter once dated a guy whose father was convicted of stealing from his clients. Maybe they could make something out of that. Can they not get over this?
"This Kerik character is like a political pinata"
Wonderful simile!!!
And so apt when it comes to this character.
I think this is a Democrat that dates other Democrats, this kind of stuff has to happen.
Why did President Bush nominate this guy?
Rudy may have great crossover appeal, but what do you plan to do about all those people in the red states (Republicans) that are no more thrilled with a liberal from N.Y. than a liberal from Mass and who will either sit at home or vote third party if they are given a choice between a Democrat or Republican liberal? Also remember that the "Reagan Democrats" and a big part of potential crossover voters are socially conservative (pro-life, pro-gun and anti-gay marriage, the opposite of Rudy) but economically liberal.
Birds of a feather stick together. Kerik was into making tons of money via political connections, illicit sex, hypocrisy, corruption, and playing up 9/11 to the Repukies' benefit. When a few reporters started asking questions, the nanny excuse was invented. What more do you need to know about why Bush was attracted to Kerik?
