Judith Regan, the book publisher who was fired by the News Corporation last year, asserts in a lawsuit filed today that a senior executive at the media conglomerate encouraged her to mislead federal investigators about her relationship with Bernard B. Kerik during his bid to become homeland security secretary in late 2004.
The lawsuit asserts that the News Corporation executive wanted to protect the presidential aspirations of former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Kerik’s mentor, who had appointed him New York City police commissioner and had recommended him for the federal post.
(Snip)
The News Corporation controls a vast array of media outlets worldwide, including Twentieth Century Fox, the New York Post and the Fox News Channel, where Ms. Regan once hosted a talk show.

Well, I couldn’t resist the quick swipe. I personally don’t like any of the parties involved.
Who is stupid enough? Try Bill Clinton..soon to be the next first lady.
I don't either, but it seems plausible to me that if Regan was very close to Kerik that he might have confided "things" to her. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this lawsuit - or if News Corp. pays her off to drop it.
I'm curious. How do you describe Bernard Kerik, who was sleeping around on his wife with Judith and another woman, ripping off the taxpayers, and stealing from charities?
And how do you describe Rudy Giuliani, whose harshest words about Kerik are something like "maybe I should have vetted him better but he did a great job, he's a friend, and a hero"?
Kerik had some fantasy that Regan was doing him because he was a big stud. Alas, we now know it was a job security move on Ms. Regan’s part.
It’s good v evil. Sides have been chosen. Personally, I would take FoxNews over the NYT.
Lesser of two evils?
"Hey Bernie. Does that bimbo you been blanking have a slutty friend for me?"
"Yeah sure, Rudy. But won't your wife and/or your mistress mind?
We know.
Can we convince our neighbors that what we know is the truth?
They’re going crazy over this story at the dummie underground site.
He is hated because corrupt, liberal sleaze bag. This is more proof of that fact.
Judith Regan was successful in a duplicitous business because she was duplicitous as well. OJ, Regan, Kerik, the NYT and Fox News can posture all they want, but none are capable of taking a righteous postion.
Even hs own archbishop is against his receiving Holy Communion. The trouble with Catholocism is that has lost a lot of credibility by its avoidance of excomunicstion as a means of bringing to repentance and redeeming its wayward sons...
The source of all of this is none other than....Rudy....
My understanding is that a vacancy in a candidacy for President or VP after the convention depends on the party rules. Most likely the GOP National Committee would make the decision, but if there was enough time the National Convention delegates could be recalled by the national committee. This would also, IMHO, be what would happen with a vacancy occurring between the election and the vote of the electors. After the electors vote, if the winning candidate dies or becomes unwilling, the election would go to the House of Representatives, with each state's delegation getting one vote, and they might be guided by the winner's party's desires.
If it were left to the RNC to choose a replacement candidate, they would no doubt choose Specter if Chafee were to remain unavailable due to his refusal to re-register as a Republican. /s
