I generally agree. Not considering Rudy's appointments and personal alliances, his record was enough to rule him out in my book. He represents maybe 20% of the things I find important. But in looking at his appointments, you have to wonder about the man's overall judgment. Kerik, Placa, Russell Harding, Richard Roberts, Michael Carey, etc., etc., etc. I don't think he should be in any office given this record, either.

It is seriously unnerving how close Bernard Kerik came to be homeland security chief. And if he had not been exposed there is not telling how much authority he might have had in a hypothetical Guiliani administration...

Could have made a snappy slogan though “Bernard Kerik, because Sandy Berger is unavailable.” :)
