Kerik was tied in with the Mafia, and with all sorts of shady confidence and bribery schemes, which is why he is now working in the ME.
Why Rudy pushed him into the public eye, supporting him as Chief of Homeland Security with RNC help,is a complete mystery. It was a mistake that will cost him his candidacy ultimately. Who would want to vote for a candidate who is assailed by a history of defective political judgement, and mistaken sang froid? Kerik would have franchised his New York shady dealings nationally as Director of Homeland Security, so was Rudy motivated by greed?I wonder what VP Cheny would have to say on the subject?
Go Duncan Hunter, 2008!
Rudy is going to have to do a real song and dance to get out of this one, but the statement I highlighted is what concerns me the most.
